It is an unfortunate reality that many lone workers are more vulnerable to the threats and physical assaults than others in the workforce.
With a greater focus on employee safety than has ever been, employers are taking more and more steps in the protection of their employees. No matter where your lone worker is, he or she may need to get in touch quickly if danger threatens. For instance this may be coming into contact with gangs of youths, travelling, through rough parts of town, single security officers on site or suffering an accident when no one is around to help.
