The latest survey from OmegaIP (conducted at the Total Workplace Management Expo in October) shows that 21% of those surveyed had no sort of monitoring system in place for lone workers; however 39% of organisations are aware of verbal threats to lone workers in the last 12 months with 28% of these reporting up to 10 incidents.

Of the people surveyed 36% were aware of physical threats to workers in the last 12 months and 31% were also aware of unsupervised accidents to lone workers in the last 12 months in order to resolve the issue of lone working 42% indicated that the organization simply supplied a mobile phone and 40% agreed that technology would be their preferred solution.
