The Working Alone code of practice provides guidance to employers and workers to ensure the health and safety of employees who work alone. The Code provides a definition and description of working alone, outlines the legislation, and discusses hazard assessment and the development of safe work procedures. Working alone can result in hazardous situations. Employers need to develop solutions to reduce or eliminate the risks to the employee who works alone.
Codes of practice provide practical guidance to help employers and workers understand and meet safety standards required by our legislation.
For more information, or to learn how you can be involved in developing codes of practice, email Safety Regulations.
