Lone Worker Medicals for Workplace Safety
A Lone Worker is anyone who works without close or direct supervision, including:
- Employees working outside normal hours in fixed locations
- Mobile workers (e.g., engineers, delivery drivers)
- Home-based workers
- Staff visiting clients’ premises
While lone working is often necessary, it introduces significant risks:
- No immediate assistance in an emergency
- Vulnerability to violence or aggression
- Medical events that go unnoticed
Our Lone Worker Medical is designed to identify pre-existing health conditions — physical and psychological — that could become major hazards when working alone. This assessment is a critical component of your legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
