Posted By Andy Mc I am looking for appropriate resources to help me design a training/briefing session for Primary Care community based health care workers to undertake dynamic risk assessments. Staff are exposed to the dangers of violence and aggression in lone worker situations and often have no knowledge or history of the patient (or their families) prior to attending. Visits are made 24 hours a day. In some cases staff may be carrying medical drugs. Any examples of checklists, or delivery materials would be greatly appreciated. Regards Andy

Posted By Mike Herbert Hi Andy I would love to help but facing similar situation to you. Working on lone worker policy in a similar field myself. We have a number of controls but training in dynamic risk assessment for our staff may be a big part of the battle for me and get it rolled out to staff. I would be grateful if you and i could swap notes at some point regards mike

Posted By Andy Mc Thanks Mike, I will share any information provided with you. I will also forward a generic lone worker risk assessment that I am working on at present, once I am satisfied with the controls. Regards Andy

Posted By Allan Kerrigan Maybe there are some fire brigade members who read this. Dynamic Risk Assessments are bread and butter to Fire Fighters, so maybe a formula could be adapted from them?

Posted By Sheila EJ Keogh Our lone workers don't face the same risks as yours (our are not 24 hrs and don't carry drugs/medicines). However, if you email me I'd be happy to send you the lone worker RA that we currently use.
