Lockton Health and Safety Manual

HSP 15 Lone Working  There may be circumstances when an Associate is present in an  office alone (e.g. early in the morning or in the evening).  The nature  of the office based activities undertaken mean that this will not  normally create significantly elevated risks to the associate.    However, should any of the following circumstances apply – lone  working is not permitted:   Associates are not permitted to work alone if they suffer a  significant health concern where the need for medical  intervention is considered likely (based on disclosed health  information or previous incidents).   Associates are not permitted to work alone if they require  assistance to evacuate the premises in an emergency.  Lockton offices are located in well‐lit commercial areas that tend to  be populated into the evening.  However, where an associate may  work alone beyond 20.00; or if parking arrangements / public  transport routes place them at elevated risk of violence then lone  working should either be prohibited or taxis used (costs to be  reimbursed by Lockton provided authorised by manager). 

Lone working risks are considered as part of the general office risk  assessments.
