Provision of Lone Worker Services. Code of Practice
Also Known As:
BS 8484:2022 standard provides guidelines and recommendations for the provision of safety and security for employees in lone working scenarios. The standard focuses on the provision of lone worker services (LWSs), including devices, software apps, monitoring, training, management information, and response options.
The standard is intended for various stakeholders, including suppliers of LWSs, devices, and software apps, customers of LWSs, and police services. It aims to ensure the safety, well-being, and security of lone workers, establishing a culture of safety at work and aiding the organization's governance, risk management, and compliance with policies and legal obligations.
By following BS 8484, organizations can seek solutions to reduce or eliminate risks to staff operating in situations where immediate assistance from colleagues is not possible. This not only improves the health and safety of lone workers but also promotes a safety culture where employee protection becomes an integral part of daily operational activities.
Furthermore, BS 8484 aligns with various UN Sustainable Development Goals, including promoting well-being, decent work, and industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
