Join Michelle Smith at Hazardex Live 2025 to discover why establishing a clear definition for lone workers within your organisation is critical, what the legal obligations and industry-specific regulations are pertaining to lone worker safety and how to develop a comprehensive lone worker safety policy, that includes comprehensive hazard assessments and clear roles and responsibilities.

Approximately 15-20% of the workforce are lone workers. Of those, 44% felt unsafe while at work and almost 20% struggled to get help after an incident. Ensuring the safety of your most at-risk workers is imperative. The presentation will also look at ways connected worker technology can mitigate lone worker risks and valuable tools, resources, and best practices to support the management of change and ensure the safety, security, and well-being of lone workers.
