Employee Work Alone & Check-in Management

A person is considered alone at work when they are on their own; when they cannot be seen or heard by another person; when they are working in isolation; and when they cannot expect a visit from another person.

Based on your state or provinces’ Occupational Health and Safety regulations as it relates to employees who work alone or in isolation, companies should consider:

Employees who work alone may face an increased risk of serious injury, confrontations and violence. Ask yourself if a worker is injured or an emergency occurs, how long before they get assistance, an ambulance or are able to call for help. What if the worker is unconscious? These occurrences may not be common but if they do occur how do you protect yourself and the employee? What are the consequences?
