the employees. The employee, at no cost should be subject to life risk that
threats the life of a lone worker. Here, we discuss the natural working
conditions of a lone worker that makes lone worker safety measures an essential
point of concern.
The lone workers
often stay alone in large construction sites, where the employees need to work
alone. At times, there is no one beside the worker and if they face any injury,
emergency response is necessary to save the life of the lone worker.
The lone
workers, who work in the power plants and oilfields work irrespective of their
environmental conditions. They have a huge threat to their life as there are
chances to get victimized in any type of natural calamity. As a matter of risk,
the employee may be subject to fatigue, electrocution or hurt by the moving
objects. The weather may also cause problems to the worker, in case the worker
is working under unpredictable weather conditions.
Hence,
we conclude that lone workers work under different environmental conditions and
they are most subject to numerous risks and dangers. Safeguarding their life by
means of Lone Worker Safety Monitoring system
is the foremost aim of the companies for whom they work as life once gone never
comes back any more.
