Transient Lone Workers are often classified as a person who moves from place to place to work, often for short periods of time. This could include salespeople, community service providers, home healthcare providers, consultancy and field service technicians, among others.
This means, their work environment is dynamic, with conditions highly dependent on the client or patient.

Users can fill out the form online through an interactive PDF and email the results to their supervisors. Similarly, you can print the form and fill by hand. Then following the risk matrix at the end of the document, calculate the risk score by adding up the answers. If the results indicate low risk, the work can go on ahead without review. However if medium-high risk, we suggested that a supervisor reviews the results and makes considerations such as:
Not all individuals are suitable for lone working. Some employees may have specific vulnerabilities or medical conditions that make lone working unsafe. It is important to consider individual capabilities, health, training, and personal circumstances when determining whether someone is suitable for lone working or if additional support or accommodations are required.
The frequency of reviewing lone worker risk assessments may vary based on the nature of the work, associated risks, and any changes in work conditions. It is generally recommended to review and update the assessment at least annually or whenever there are significant changes in work processes, environments, or regulations.
In many jurisdictions, conducting lone worker risk assessments is a legal requirement. Regulations and standards may vary, but employers are generally obligated to assess and manage the risks associated with lone working to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of their employees.
SafetyIQ’s Lone Worker Module Module transforms traditional solutions into a streamlined, and automated approach, whilst ensuring the safety of your lone workers despite the high risk of isolation.
Users create a Lone Worker Activity with Check-Ins at scheduled time intervals. There is an optional risk assessment attached to the activity that includes an automated approval process. This calculates the risk score and automatically approves low-risk results and notifies a supervisor for review in high-risk scenarios.
If approved, the user can start their lone work and they are given automatic SMS and email reminders to check-in at predetermined times to confirm their safety. If they fail to check-in, the escalation process is triggered and managers are alerted to respond.
