HomeSecurityLone Worker Risk Assessment

🚶 Lone worker risk assessment & safe-system tool

Assess the risks of working alone and build a lone-worker safe-working procedure in minutes — identify the task and location, score the hazards that working alone makes worse (violence, medical emergency, accident with no help, isolation), then set check-in/check-out, communication and a lone-worker device with man-down & SOS, escalation and emergency response. Aligned to HSE INDG73 and the OSHA General Duty Clause. This spans safety + security. Exports to Word.

⚠️ This generator produces a template lone-worker risk assessment and safe system of work aligned to HSE guidance INDG73 — Protecting lone workers (and the UK Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations) and to the OSHA General Duty Clause, OSH Act §5(a)(1). Working alone is not itself illegal, but the risk cannot always be controlled to the same degree as for others. This is not legal advice and not an official HSE/OSHA document. Adapt it to the real task and location, have a competent person review it, and never let anyone work alone where the risk cannot be adequately controlled (e.g. confined spaces, live electrical work, lifting heavy plant).
