Objectives: The key objective of this conference is to provide professionals, interested in improving the personal safety of lone workers with specific and up-to-date information, which will go far beyond theory alone. Some of the leading experts in personal safety related topics will deliver talks, covering ‘tried and tested’, ‘factual based’ and ‘straight forward’ guidelines and procedures.
Who should attend?
This conference has been designed for people with management responsibilities for lone workers, and lone workers themselves, currently working for local authorities e.g. Environmental Health, Trading Standards, Licensing, Housing, Social Services, NHS and employees of privately owned companies e.g. estate agents, private nurses and field representatives. It is also of great relevance to occupational health and safety officers and HR personnel who work within organisations where lone working takes place.
