Lone working: is an alarm enough to get help?

Work and rescue arrangements must accompany an alert device.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Someone working out of sight or earshot may be difficult to rescue after an accident.

Identify periods of isolation with the employer, even if they cover only part of a shift.

Prevention first seeks to remove or reduce dangerous situations and lone interventions.

A lone-worker alarm does not replace these prevention arrangements.

Before an intervention, clarify the alert procedure and how rescue will actually be organised.

Training in that procedure and equipment suited to each situation must be planned.
