Safety Critical

No Lone Working

Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?

Overview

Risk of seizure alone.

For Employees

Working alone is unsafe if you have seizures. Ask to always be rostered with at least one other person or have a "check-in" system.

For Employers

If they have a seizure while alone, you are liable. Ensure they are never the only person in the building.

Key Considerations

  • Buddy system.
  • Alarm pendant.
