Industrial manslaughter is now law in every Australian state and territory. Psychosocial hazard obligations are enforceable everywhere. If your lone worker safety plan hasn’t caught up, neither has your duty of care.
Lone workers face risks most safety plans weren’t built for such as physical and verbal assault, slip and fall hazards, isolated equipment work, hazardous substances and vehicle incidents, often with no one nearby to help.
Old safety systems aren’t keeping up. Two-way radios and satellite devices are expensive, tied to networks that are being phased out and unreliable indoors, exactly where duress alerts often need to work.
Download this business case and see exactly what the law now requires and what a lone worker safety solution built for it actually looks like.
