The HSE (responsible for enforcing workplace safety regulations in the UK) researched a large number of case studies on lone working and personal safety – you can find it here: http://www.hse.gov.uk/violence/loneworkcase.htm. One of their key findings were that training of staff is an extremely successful measure in reducing risk to staff. At http://www.personalsafetylearning.com we provide training in a wide range of Lone Working topics, and will be happy to assist you.

Many of our clients complain they are unsure whether their staff can be assured they will not get an engaged tone or unanswered phone at the office in an emergency.
We Have a solution. This is what we propose in response to this:

  • This phone is placed in an easily reachable place in the office, always plugged in to its charger
  • All staff programme the phone number as a speed dial on their phones to facilitate a quick and easy phone call.
  • If this phone rings, staff in the office will have to give it the highest priority. Next to the phone our “No contact Protocol” is placed (see http://www.personalsafetylearning.com/blog/resources/) , that will guide your response to the emergency call.
  • If the phone goes unanswered for more than 10 rings, the call gets diverted to a duty officer phone.

    • For more information, please use our contact form
