Description

1.The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) 1998 describes lone workers as “those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision.”

2.This could refer to those who routinely work in a hospital or general practice environment, where staff care for patients or service users independently, without the support of line managers or other colleagues.

3.It could also relate to those who work in the community setting where care is provided in the patient's home or in a non-clinical environment and away from a hospital setting.
