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.
