Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Engineers visiting remote installations, field technicians, drivers, security staff, home-based employees and people working outside normal hours often have no colleague nearby when something goes wrong. A fall, medical emergency, violent incident or vehicle breakdown that would be minor in a staffed workplace can become life-threatening when help is hours away.
This Lone Working and Remote Site Safety Management training course provides a structured approach to identifying who works alone, assessing the specific risks they face and putting proportionate controls in place. Participants learn how to design safe systems of work, check-in and monitoring arrangements, communication and alarm solutions, and emergency response plans that work in isolated and remote locations.
The course also addresses the human side of lone working, including fatigue, stress, isolation, decision-making under pressure and the supervisor's role in keeping people safe and engaged. By the end, participants will be able to review and strengthen their organisation's lone working policy and procedures.
