Employee health and safety is one of the biggest concerns for most businesses with a remote workforce. How do you ensure employee safety when they work on their own or commute regularly to remote job sites?

In this article, we’ll cover how to draft a functioning, relevant lone worker policy so that your whole team is safe and healthy in 2020.

1. PLAN - Don’t rush into the interview. Make sure you have thought of questions you want to ask and what you need to know. But be flexible; be able to follow where the interviewee leads if it seems likely to yield information.
2. SET GROUND RULES - Make sure that the interviewee is told how you intend to conduct the interview, what you are seeking to do together (solve a problem). Make your goal clear - to discover all the facts. Seek to create a productive atmosphere.
3. PUT THE INTERVIEWEE AT EASE - There is nothing to be gained at all by coming across as threatening or authoritarian. You need the person’s cooperation. Do everything you can to alleviate anxiety (e.g. choose your interview location carefully).

All of Skyguard’s state-of-the-art personal safety devices link to our own purpose built UK based, 24/7 Incident Management Centre certified to the highest lone working industry standards (BS 8484, BS 5979 Category II). At the core of Skyguard’s personal safety service is our state-of-the-art, UK based, 24/7 Incident Management Centre (IMC). Here our highly-trained and experienced controllers respond to lone worker alarms and manage life-threatening emergencies on a daily basis. They summon the emergency services and our own National Response Service every day on behalf of our customers. Yet only a fraction of these have proved to be false alarms due to their rigorous training and the procedures they follow.
On behalf of our police customers alone, our IMC has protected an estimated 6,000 victims of domestic abuse, kidnapping and those on witness protection programmes. Many of these have led to arrests and successful prosecutions in court, facilitated by our audio recordings of incidents and the speed of police response that our service provided.
Our IMC became the first in the UK to be certified to the new Lone Worker Monitoring Service standard: BS 8484, which included the highest standard for Alarm Receiving Centres: BS 5979 (Category II).
