Training Course OVERVIEW
About Lone Worker Safety Training - Coming Soon.
Working alone can bring additional risks, particularly when visiting unfamiliar locations, interacting with others or working without immediate support from colleagues. Knowing how to recognise potential hazards, assess changing situations and make informed decisions can help you stay safe and confident when working independently. Our self-paced Lone Worker Safety e-learning course gives you practical knowledge and strategies to recognise risks, manage challenging situations and prioritise your personal safety. Through realistic scenarios, interactive learning and decision-making activities, you'll explore how your environment, communication and behaviour can influence safety, and how to respond when circumstances change. You'll learn practical IKON approaches that can help you: Complete the course online at your own pace within your access period, with your progress saved as you learn.
