Lone workers face similar hazards to those who work in teams or alongside coworkers. However, because they don't have the benefit of a coworker's presence, should an incident occur, there are scenarios where lone workers are at a greater risk than their colleagues. This course helps supervisors and employers to identify the particular risks faced by employees who work alone or in isolation. It outlines OSHA guidelines on protecting lone workers and identifies the essential components of an effective safety policy.This course was developed with subject matter support provided by Winn Forensics, LLC, a professional services company focusing on corporate, business and personal safety training as well as consulting on occupational injury matters.
