Plain answer

What is the Working Alone safe work practice?

A worker who is alone has no one to call for help. A working alone program assesses the hazards, sets check-in intervals and the contact person, and spells out what happens when a check-in is missed.

A safe work practice is the written "how we do this job safely" for one task or piece of equipment. This one is written for working alone and is ready for your company name, so crews, supervisors and clients all read the same rules.

Who needs it: Contractors with service technicians, drivers, operators or anyone who works out of sight of others.
