Community social services workers often work alone, and while there are safety risks, there is a lot you can do to protect your people. WorkSafe BC defines working alone as any worker who is working in a situation where they cannot readily receive emergency assistance in the event of an injury, illness, or incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of your Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management system, a strong working alone program takes the necessary precautions to reduce physical risks such as violence and overexertion. In the context of social service work, we must also consider psychosocial risks associated with working alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot to consider when creating your organization\u2019s working alone program. Check out our templates and resources, created with social service workers in mind, to help your process. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
