productThe EssentialSkillz Lone Working eLearning course has been designed to enable employers who have identified situations where people work alone, whether in the office or remotely, to provide training and information on the potential hazards and risks they may face and how to determine and implement appropriate controls.
productAccording to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), slips and trips are the single most common cause of injuries at work, and account for over a third (33%) of all major work place injuries.
