FAQs
Here's some commonly asked questions:
What is lone worker training, and why is it important?
Lone worker training is specialised learning designed to equip employees who work alone with the knowledge and skills to stay safe and handle emergencies.

This training ensures they understand potential hazards, how to mitigate them, and the correct procedures to follow in case of an incident.
What is a lone worker?

Working alone requires specific safety measures and training to ensure employees can perform their tasks safely and efficiently without immediate assistance.
