Overview of this 1-day course

Small things account for big risks when you are working alone, particularly if the environment is 'off-site' and unknown to you. These risks need to be addressed in order to ensure the personal safety of lone workers.

If you are a health visitor, care worker, taxi driver, meter reader, transport or delivery worker, emergency services or security worker, to name but a few, you will need to know the risks associated with your particular job, the practical control measures you can employ, and have a toolbox of strategies at hand to tackle conflict or aggression. And this is where this excellent training course comes in!

Key topics covered on this course:
  • The role of the lone worker
  • Boundaries of that role
  • Occupational risks
  • What influences the risks we take
  • Managing risks
  • Defining acceptable behaviour
  • Spotting danger signals
  • Managing Confrontation
  • Reporting near misses or incidents
  • 'Back up' and policies
