LONE WORKER SAFETY

摘要

KEY COMPONENT OF WORKER SAFETY is to watch out for one another. However, lone work presents a fundamental challenge to watchfulness. How can someone watch a colleague's back if that colleague is working alone and out of sight? A lone worker can be anyone who works alone in a fixed facility or away from his or her typical base. At times, the definition applies to those who work alone in factories or warehouses on nights or weekends. It also applies to traveling workers in construction, utilities, maintenance and repair, agriculture, and other fields.
