Working Alone Safely

GEN-3.2

Many employees work by themselves for at least part of their shifts, including delivery drivers, janitorial and housekeeping workers, home health workers, and many night shift employees. Working alone comes with its own safety and security hazards, and those hazards vary widely from job to job. It’s important for lone workers to know all of their responsibilities and what to do during an emergency so they can safely perform their job duties without supervision. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to recognize who lone workers are and the hazards they may face. Learners should also be able to identify requirements and best practices for working alone.
