Training & Consultancy Solutions

Lone Worker Devices such as Identicom are extremely effective but have you done all you can to prepare staff to effectively manage and reduce risks prior to using a LWD? 

Taking a step back from the specifics of technology, Connexion2 also provide a range of Training and Consultancy Solutions. These solutions help organisations to better prepare for lone working and manage conflict situations as they occur.

Benefits:

Connexion2 is able to create and deliver bespoke policy and training to your staff or to your customers on your behalf. The solutions are designed to provide education and comprehensive support on all aspects of lone worker protection for the employer, the lone worker manager and the lone worker.

A well trained workforce will assess risks more effectively and have knowledge of how to reduce them where possible, thus improving their safety. A better understanding of these issues at management level will also improve communication in order to better facilitate operations of front line staff, and reduce business risk.

Connexion2 Training and Consultancy Solutions are flexible and can be bespoke to an organisation, allowing a company to implement where most appropriate. The company can assist in a number of ways: staff can be trained to deliver training to employees as part of your ongoing requirements, or Connexion2 can assist in the creation of an up to date lone worker policy.

Organisations can reduce the risks faced through the following Training and Consultancy Solutions outlined in the diagram below - please click the image below to view in more detail:

Lone Worker Policy: Something to consider

The benefits of good policy and training are wide reaching. A valued workforce is more efficient, less likely to suffer stress and will look to change employment less frequently. These solutions benefit everyone in an organisation.

Not understanding the impact of lone worker safety and the financial implications to an organisation is extremely important, please consider.

• The direct financial costs associated with absence through stress and injury resulting from frequent verbal abuse, a single attack or a 'man-down' scenario.
• Sick pay, temporary and replacement staffing, higher insurance premiums, missed deadlines, increased stress on existing staff and potential customer dissatisfaction.
• The risk from corporate manslaughter legislation both corporately and to individuals at manager level and upwards in an organisation.

 The Health and Safety Executive estimates the cost of a single physical attack to be in excess of £20,000.
