Lone working is a term that applies to anybody who is working alone, with no supervision, for any
length of time. This can range from roles such as a gas engineer visiting a domestic property to a
warehouse operative retrieving goods from racking. If an employee is working in a separate location
from their colleagues, then this is defined as lone working. Lone working can also apply to someone
who works from home.
