Lone Worker Products
Everyone deserves to feel safe and we all have a right to feel safe within the community in which we live and work.
Employees operating in the community can be exposed to higher risk throughout the course of a normal day and are entitled to receive an equivalent safe system of work as their office based colleagues.
Apart from the obvious improvements in staff morale and employee relations, the employer is compelled by law to ensure that adequate risk assessments are carried out and a robust risk management solution implemented. If they fail to do this they may find themselves to be in breach of the current health & safety legislation and thereby incurring severe financial penalties and other commercial risks.
Risks
The risk of private litigation from staff or from them leaving/taking time off work due to stress, injury or concern over their personal wellbeing is also on the increase. An effective lone worker safety solution brings a variety of other benefits such as improved staff relations, a reduction in absenteeism and lower staff turnover.
Why Argyll's Communicare Service?
Argyll's Communicare service centres upon a unique tiered risk management system, enabling individuals to indicate current risk status.
An integrated location management platform enables the responder to identify the user location, plus a dedicated response facility with tailored escalation protocols for each individual user.
Following a risk assessment, the modular design of Communicare enables individuals or risk managers to choose the appropriate service options based on their specific requirements.
To implement a lone worker solution you must:
- Define and identify your lone working staff

- Control the risks they face
- Write policy and guidelines around those controls
- Implement your policy, manage and maintain it.
