Governance & Policies
Lone Working Policy
This policy applies to all staff, whether full time, part time or temporary workers. It does not apply to councillors.
The Parish Council recognises that some of our staff work alone, and where this is the case, seeks to ensure the health and safety of all lone workers. This document:
- Raises awareness of the safety issues relating to lone working;
- Identifies and assesses potential risks to an individual working alone;
- Explains the importance of reasonable and practicable precautions to minimise potential risk;
- Provides appropriate support to lone workers and;
- Encourages reporting of all incidents associated with lone working so that they can be adequately managed and used to help reduce risks and improve working arrangements for the future.
