A lone worker is someone who works alone, without direct or close supervision. This can include a wide variety of jobs and professions, from security guards and night shift workers to delivery drivers and remote field workers. Lone workers may work in environments where they are physically isolated from others, or they may be required to work independently and without direct oversight.

Lone workers can face a range of challenges and risks, including accidents, injuries, and health emergencies. They may also be more vulnerable to violence or harassment, particularly if they work in isolated or high-risk locations. Employers have a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of their lone workers, which may involve providing training, equipment, and support to help them manage risks and respond to emergencies.

This lone worker course looks at isolated incidents where a major or catastrophic injury has occurred when no one was around to help. 

Learn the skills to apply life saving techniques by understanding what a catastrophic bleed is, how to use and apply a tourniquet and many more important subjects that could occur while you work alone.
