Lone workers face increased aggression, EcoOnline research finds

* Lone-Workers.jpgThe Health & Safety Executive defines lone working as work carried out by people who work by themselves without close or direct supervision - which actually doesn't mean they are physically alone...

The release of EcoOnline Lone Worker Landscape Report 2024 highlights that the risk of violence and abuse, for lone workers, has risen significantly over the last two - three years, with 46% of lone workers reporting an increase in violence and aggression.

From lone working on the rise, to the 'perception gap' between executives and lone worker views, the report highlights:

- Risk management - disconnect between executives vs lone worker views and experiences
- Conflicting priorities - the perception of safety over financial targets disparity
- Looking ahead - growth predictions on lone worker safety

Also available on demand is EcoOnline's recent one hour webinar: 'Preventing isolation: ensuring the safety of your frontline lone workers'. Featuring three experts who delved into the challenges facing companies when assessing their lone worker safety plans, it covered such topics as:

- How to conduct inclusive risk assessments
- Identifying workplace hazards and how to ensure lone worker safety
- Discovering the power of mobile applications in managing/increasing incident reporting
