If you have staff who work on their own, travel or are in unpredictable circumstances, you want them to feel protected
and comfortable.

Those who work remotely or in isolation can include:

• Farmers and agricultural workers
• Park rangers and council workers
• Cleaners
• Taxi or freight transport drivers
• Security guards
• Sales representatives
• Real estate agents
• Health and community workers
• Retail workers and service station attendants
• Mining and construction workers
• Service people travelling and working alone
• Those who work from home
• Tradesmen

Every employer has the responsibility to continuously monitor the wellbeing of their remote and isolated workers (lone workers). There are severe penalties for non-compliance with these legislations, which vary from state to state. In most states an employer may be liable for industrial manslaughter penalties. These penalties include 20-25 years prison and fines of up to tens of millions.

Below is the link to the Australian Federal Government Website which gives the definition of a Lone Worker (remote or isolated worker). This website also highlights each state’s requirements for employers to manage and minimise the risks to their lone workers.
