Visits to People's Homes
The largest group of lone workers, entering premises the employer does not control, with the hazards that follow from that.
Analysis
Sectors
The same chain arranged differently. Home visits are the largest group and the least controllable environment.
6 notes
Opening, Closing and Cash
Twenty minutes at each end of the day where a single person, a known routine and money coincide.
Analysis
Remote and Outdoor Work
Where there is no signal, no passer-by and no quick route in. The arrangements that have to exist before anyone goes out.
Analysis
Night Work and Security Roles
Long shifts, empty buildings, and a role whose whole purpose is to encounter the thing everybody else avoids.
Analysis
Agency Staff and Contractors
Two organisations, one worker, and a safety duty that both assume the other is carrying.
Analysis
Arrangements With Clients and Landlords
When the premises belong to somebody else, half the controls are theirs. What to agree, and what happens when nobody did.
