Many people would have you believe that it’s illegal to work on your own, however the law clearly states, “there are no absolute restrictions on working alone”. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that proper care must be carried out to ensure the safety of employees, and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulation 1999 stresses that proper risk assessments must be carried out to protect the employees and people entering the work premises.
Some employment requires us to work on our own also there may be times when you will be required to work late, in a separate building from your work colleagues or if your self employed or just starting your own business you will know how hard it is or tight money can be that working late alone is not an option but the only way to get ahead. That’s why the Chaperone® Work Safe Lone Worker System is the ideal safety call centre for you.
Giving you that little piece of security will often make a big difference in your attention at work. Chaperone® Work Safe Lone Worker System is simple to install, and if the panic button is pushed it will automatically call a designated number with a pre recorded message of your choice, not only that, an optional 105dB siren will sound to alert members of staff of passers by. With a remote range of 500m this is truly a must for lone workers.
Safety is the number one concern at work !
An unsafe work environment results in more accidents, which increases workers compensation costs.
