About this course

The personal safety for lone workers training course is designed to equip you with the skills and practical knowledge to deal with difficult customer behaviour and avoid challenging situations when working alone. It applies to professionals from all industries, from social workers to petrol station assistants.

Did you know that approximately 64% of the UK workforce regard themselves as lone workers? Lone work simply means working in an environment where you are alone with a customer, visitor or member of the public. It also includes those who work remotely.
