Working Alone? How an App Could be Your Answer to a Safer Work Environment

Working alone can be a dangerous, whether you’re working in a remote region, or simply without the aid of supervision; each job type comes with its own risks. So what can you do to make your situation safer? The answer may depend on your industry.

As a general rule of thumb, most work alone situations can be lumped into five categories:

• Employees who handle cash (liquor store, convenience store, taxi driver)
• Employees who travel away from home to clients (home care, social services, bylaw enforcement)
• Employees who do hazardous work, but have no interaction with the public ( geologist, forestry, oil and gas)
• Employees who travel alone, but have no public interaction (truck drivers, delivery services)
• Employees who may be prone to violent attacks as part of their occupation (custodian, security guard)

Although some situations may seem a bit more dangerous than others, there are certainly risks associated with each type of job environment. So how do you go about tackling each of these types of working conditions?
