Lone working

Check in, tell someone where you are and what to do if you cannot.

Working alone

Applies to: anyone who works alone or out of sight of others at [site or company].

What you must do
1. Tell [name or role] where you are going, what you will do and when you expect to finish.
2. Check in at [times or intervals] by [phone, radio or app].
3. Do not do high risk tasks alone: [list, for example working at height, confined spaces, hot work].
4. If you miss a check in, [name or role] will call you, then [next step, for example send someone, call the owner or the police].
5. If you feel unsafe, leave and tell [name or role].

Why: help takes longer to arrive when nobody knows you need it.

A starting point, not legal advice or a safety standard. Fill in the [square brackets] and check it against your own risk assessment and the law that applies to you.
