Our Lone Worker training course provides essential online training for employees who work alone or without close or direct supervision. You’ll learn how to recognise the hazards associated with lone working, assess risks and take practical precautions to help keep yourself safe.
Lone working can make it more difficult to get help when something goes wrong. Effective lone working training helps employees understand the risks they may face and gives them the knowledge to respond to changing or unexpected situations.
Our Lone Worker online course also explains how to carry out a dynamic risk assessment and covers practical safety measures for working alone in different environments.
The Lone Worker training takes approximately 1 hour to complete. As the course is delivered online, you can work through the training at your own pace and take the assessment when you feel ready.
What is a Lone Worker?
A lone worker is defined as someone who works by themselves, without close or direct supervision.
The phrase lone worker does not always mean that they work alone, away from any other person. Instead, a lone worker is somebody who spends all or part of their working day without a co-worker or teammate present. People may work alone in fixed establishments or away from a fixed base.

Our Lone Worker training is suitable for employees, contractors and self-employed people who work alone or without close or direct supervision.

The Lone Worker course is suitable for a wide range of roles, including delivery drivers, taxi drivers, security staff, cleaners, shop workers, engineers and employees who visit clients or work in isolated locations.
