Has any one got a risk assessment form that they use for lone workers? this is an issue that has come up in our service and I would like to get it sorted
Just to get an idea, do any programmes supply mobile phones for their lone workers?
Ta....

Hi,
It should be mandatory to supply lone workers with mobile phones, some Trusts also supply personal alarms.
Your PCT will have a policy on this, the hospital may not because their staff do not come across this situation as often.
Try contacting HR at the PCT, I am sure they will be able to give advice.

nesta, I have done a great deal of work on lone working and have created a policy document with the help of all our staff and various other members of staff such as HR, clinical governance and representatives of the trade unions. If you email me personally, I will send you a copy of my document. Angela Ellingford (you'll find my email address on the BARS website)
