Lone working means that a person works without direct contact with colleagues and without the possibility of immediate assistance in the event of an accident or emergency. This may involve working in remote locations, evening and night shifts, or situations where someone works alone on the premises.
When employees work alone, employers have specific responsibilities to carry out a risk assessment and implement measures to reduce risks. Through clear procedures, the right equipment, and reliable alarm solutions, the work environment can remain safe and secure even when tasks are performed independently.
The Swedish Work Environment Authority sets clear requirements for how lone working must be planned and risk assessed. The employer is responsible for preventing risks, ensuring access to rapid assistance, and making sure that work is not carried out alone where there is a significant risk of violence or serious injury.
