Posted By martinw Lee, what industry are you in?

Posted By Gus Lee Not sure if you mean production of windows or installation /survey/ repair There are loads of lone working policies on the web, the trouble is the majority are written for and by large organisations and may be a bit over the top…. assuming its lone mobile workers you are concerned with I think something out of the housing repair sector would give you the best idea www.foundations.uk.com/F...ordLoneWorkersPolicy.pdf To understand the issues more fully take a look at: http://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/faqs/workalone.htm Don’t forget your lone working policy and procedure should be based on and proportional to your own risk assessment, which needs to take into account: o The workplace o The work activity o The equipment to be used o The work pattern o Any risk of violence o Training needs o The lone workers capabilities o Communication and supervision o Emergency arrangements There a numerous samples/ templates for such specific risk assessments - to get some ideas take a look at: www.leeds.ac.uk/safety/l...risk_assessment_form.pdf Or www.methodist.org.uk/......one-workers-8-191108.pdf And finally you might want to review the good priced guides on H&S in the glazing industry at http://www.ggfmembers.co...browseCategory.aspx?ID=9 Good luck Gus
