What should be included in a lone worker risk assessment under Australian WHS guidelines?
It should identify isolation hazards, rate likelihood and consequence, document controls, and include a review process[cite: 563]. It must be specific to the role, not generic [cite: 567].
Key Elements to Include
- Role description and lone working conditions [cite: 569]
- Physical hazards (falls, equipment) [cite: 570]
- People-based hazards (aggression) [cite: 571]
- Communication and monitoring controls [cite: 572]
- Emergency response process [cite: 573]
- Residual risk rating and review date [cite: 574]
Guardian Angel Safety provides a structured template covering these components[cite: 576].
