Purpose
A review prompt for lone working policy, risk assessment, escalation, records and manager oversight.
Review prompts
- Identify roles, locations, tasks and foreseeable lone working risks.
- Confirm how workers seek early support and raise an emergency alarm.
- Record internal, external or hybrid response responsibilities.
- Verify escalation contacts, out-of-hours cover and police escalation conditions.
- Confirm privacy, retention, access and learning arrangements for incident records.
Governance note
Use alongside current HSE guidance and the organisation's own risk assessment. Verify supplier, accreditation and response claims directly before relying on them.
