What is lone working?

Lone working describes any job role where an employee performs their duties without direct supervision or coworkers nearby. This can include healthcare professionals, retail associates, construction workers, real estate agents, delivery drivers, and utility workers.

Because there’s no immediate help on-site, lone workers face greater safety risks, including workplace accidents, sudden health emergencies, or encounters with aggressive individuals. In these situations, response time can mean the difference between a close call and a serious incident.

Employers can reduce these risks by implementing a lone worker safety solution, such as a discreet wearable device or a lone worker safety app with GPS tracking, man-down detection, and a panic alert feature. These tools not only help protect employees in real time but also support an organization’s duty of care and OSHA workplace safety compliance.

What are the legal requirements for protecting lone workers in the US?

While there is no single federal law dedicated exclusively to lone worker safety, U.S. employers are still responsible for protecting these employees under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). OSHA’s General Duty Clause requires all employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards, which includes risks faced by lone workers.

Lone workers may be at higher risk due to working alone, in remote locations, or in high-risk environments. To meet OSHA obligations, employers must:

  • Conduct hazard assessments to identify potential threats.
  • Implement lone worker safety protocols, including monitoring and emergency response procedures.
  • Ensure reliable communication systems so employees can call for help when needed.

In certain sectors, such as construction, utilities, manufacturing, and healthcare — additional industry-specific safety regulations or union safety standards may apply. Prioritizing lone worker safety not only supports OSHA compliance but also helps employers reduce liability, prevent costly incidents, and protect their company’s reputation.

What is a lone worker safety system, and when should it be used?

A lone worker safety system is a personal safety device or lone worker safety app designed to protect employees who work without direct supervision. These systems often include features such as a panic alarm for instant emergency alerts, Man Down detection to identify falls or sudden health incidents, GPS tracking for rapid location-based response, and scheduled check-ins to confirm worker safety throughout the day.

Lone worker safety systems should be used by employees in high-risk or isolated roles, including construction workers, healthcare and social service professionals, retail staff, delivery drivers, and remote field operatives. By enabling fast emergency response and real-time monitoring, these systems help reduce workplace risks, improve incident outcomes, and support an employer’s OSHA compliance and duty of care obligations.

How do I choose the right protection system for my lone workers?

Selecting the right lone worker protection depends on your industry, job roles, and level of risk exposure. Factors to consider include whether employees work indoors, outdoors, or in remote areas, and whether public interaction or high-risk environments are part of the job.

SoloProtect offers some of the best lone worker safety devices and apps available in the U.S., including:

  • SoloProtect ID Touch – a discreet wearable safety device designed to look like an employee ID badge, ideal for public-facing roles.
  • SoloProtect Mobile App – a flexible, feature-rich lone worker safety app for iOS and Android, perfect for teams needing smartphone-based protection.
  • SoloProtect Curve and Shield – durable wearable safety devices built for physical, high-risk, or outdoor job environments.

Our safety specialists can assess your workplace hazards, recommend the most suitable device or app, and help ensure your OSHA compliance while keeping employees safe and connected 24/7.

What are the risks associated with lone working?

Lone workers are exposed to a wide range of workplace safety risks, including physical assault, slips, trips, and falls, sudden medical emergencies, and environmental hazards such as poor lighting, extreme temperatures, or severe weather conditions. Without immediate assistance, these situations can quickly escalate into serious incidents.

A lone worker alert system — like those offered by SoloProtect — allows employees to raise an alarm instantly in an emergency. With features such as panic buttons, Man Down detection, GPS tracking, and 24/7 monitored emergency response, our technology ensures help is dispatched quickly to the worker’s exact location. This rapid response capability enables employers to fulfill OSHA workplace safety obligations, reduce liability, and keep staff safe in even the most challenging work environments.
