Working Alone
Remote work is work that is isolated from other people for reasons such as the location, time, or nature of the work. Remote work often includes abnormal hours and travel.
These workers may also perform tasks in customer facilities that other works do not enter because they present special hazards.
Working in remote locations may increase dangers out of the normal scope of work, such as confrontations, theft, violence, and assault.
Companies are responsible to furnish all employees a place of employment free from recognized hazards under OSHA's General Duty Clause. OSHA also gives workers the right to refuse to perform any task they believe to be unsafe without suffering penalty.
There are three common control measures used to protect lone workers
1. Training - allows companies to teach workers how to deal with hazards/situations as well as correct response procedures for emergencies.
2. Safety assessments and safety plans - assessments should be performed on each task the worker will be executing and identify all hazards and control measures associated. Safety plans should outline how the control measures will be utilized.
3. Personal safety devices- automatic warming devices that alert a designated supervisor or local EMS if specific signals are not received at specified times. They allow workers to send an emergency signal in the event of an emergency.
Additional Tips
- Carry a first aid kit and be trained in basic first aid.
- Dress appropriately for weather conditions and prepare for various types of weather.
- Have additional supplies, food, and water for emergencies.
Using these tips will help get workers home safely.
