Building a Lone Working Management System from a Firm Foundation
Occupational health and safety is still a relatively new profession, but nonetheless there is a huge quantity of information written about it. Lots of guidance, case studies, and opinions about what good looks like. Even for a specialist consideration like lone working. If we were to strip back all of that “noise”, what foundations would we find? In his keynote speech,
Duncan Spencer will challenge us to consider the answers to the following questions:
• How do the principles of good occupational safety and health relate to lone workers?
• How do they influence the creation and use of lone working policy and effective risk control?
• What are the challenges of extending the principles to cover wellbeing and mental health challenges for lone workers?
