Lone working refers to any job role where an employee carries out tasks alone, without direct supervision or colleagues nearby. This includes healthcare professionals, retail staff, construction workers, real estate agents, hospitality staff, and logistics drivers. Lone workers face higher safety risks due to the lack of immediate assistance in case of an emergency. Implementing a lone worker safety solution such as a discreet lone worker device or safety app can significantly reduce these risks and support duty of care for lone workers.

While the U.S. does not have a single federal law specifically governing lone worker safety, employers are required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards. This includes protecting lone workers who may face increased risks due to working alone, in isolated areas, or in high-risk environments. Employers must conduct hazard assessments, implement safety protocols, and ensure effective emergency communication. In some industries — such as construction, utilities, and healthcare — additional regulations or union standards may apply. Meeting your duty of care for lone workers is critical to maintaining compliance and avoiding legal or reputational risk.

A lone worker safety system includes a personal safety device or lone worker safety app, designed to protect employees who work alone. These systems may include panic alarms, Man Down detection, GPS tracking, and scheduled check-ins. They should be used by employees in high-risk roles, including construction workers, social care professionals, retail staff, and remote field operatives. The system helps reduce risk, improve emergency response, and support your organisation’s commitment to lone worker compliance.

Choosing the best lone worker protection depends on your industry, specific job roles, and risk exposure. Consider whether the worker is based indoors, outdoors, or in remote areas, and whether public interaction is a factor. SoloProtect offers some of the best lone worker devices available, including:

• The SoloProtect ID Touch, a discreet lone worker device that looks like an ID badge
• The SoloProtect Mobile app, a flexible, fully featured lone worker safety app
• The SoloProtect Curve and Shield, robust wearables ideal for physical roles

Our team will help assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate device or app to ensure compliance and safety.

Lone workers face a variety of risks, including physical assault, slips, trips, falls, medical incidents, and environmental hazards such as low lighting or extreme weather. Without immediate support, these situations can escalate. A lone alert system, such as those provided by SoloProtect, ensures workers can raise an alarm instantly. Our lone worker safety technology provides quick access to emergency support, enabling employers to meet their responsibilities and keep staff safe.
