Lone Worker in Health and Care - Online Training Course - Level 1 - CPDUK Accredited.
Welcome to our online Lone Worker in Health and Care training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
A lone worker (LW) is an employee who performs an activity that is carried out in isolation from other workers without close or direct supervision.
Establishing a healthy and safe working environment for lone workers can be different from organising the health and safety of other employees. They should not be put at more risk than other people working for you.
It will often be safe to work alone. However, the law requires employers to think about and deal with any health and safety risks before people are allowed to do so.

Why is this Lone Worker in Health and Care course essential?
A lone worker (LW) is an employee who performs an activity that is carried out in isolation from other workers without close or direct supervision.
Establishing a healthy and safe working environment for lone workers can be different from organising the health and safety of other employees. They should not be put at more risk than other people working for you. It will often be safe to work alone. However, the law requires employers to think about and deal with any health and safety risks before people are allowed to do so.
Things you could consider to help ensure lone workers are not put at risk include:
- Assessing areas of risk including violence, manual handling, the medical suitability of the individual to work alone and whether the workplace itself presents a danger to them,
- Requirements for training, levels of experience and how best to monitor and supervise them, and
- Making sure you know what is happening, including having systems in place to keep in touch with them.
