It is estimated that 25 million employees across North America work alone in jobs which possess a threat to their health and safety. The threat to these lone workers is more imminent in jobs requiring travel to remote location, long haul transport drivers, security guards safeguarding property and critical assets. The need for employers to do a better job of protecting lone workers is real, and it is urgent. Fines for companies that fail to comply with worker safety can cost them tens of thousands of dollars a day, plus eventual penalties of millions of dollars.
Some of these workers travel to remote locations to monitor or maintain equipment. Others may be employed as security guards, safeguarding property and critical assets such as remotely located generators. The challenge for employers is not only how to keep these at-risk employees safe on the job, but also how to determine if they are actually working alone in the first place.
Keep track of your lone working employee- truck drivers, outdoor security providers, travelling executive remotely with technology-based safety solutions.
Energy exploration, extraction and transport all take place in some of the most remote locations on the planet. Companies invest in complex and high performance assets for drilling operations. Drill sites and other critical infrastructure, pipelines are located “off the grid,” far from the company’s operations. The remoteness of these assets poses major challenges for companies who dispatch workers to these remote locations to check remote drilling rigs, diesel generators and pipelines. Despite these measures, problems with equipment are often not identified until it is too late and disaster strikes.

Most employers in Alberta have employees who need to work alone. The legislation first established in 2000, and updated as recently as June 1, 2018, states that companies need to protect these workers. Simply put, the law says employers must do “everything reasonable”, but what exactly does this mean and how do companies comply while maintaining productivity?
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES Aware360 HAVE TO OVERCOME IS HOW TO MAINTAIN OR UPDATE OUR WEATHER STATIONS IN REMOTE LOCATIONS.”

Used with SafetyAware, a software solution for lone workers, the Control Center provides visibility into the location and status of all employees, and highlights critical information for the response coordinator if a person needs help.
Alberta’s lone worker legislation came into force in 2000, yet many businesses still struggle to comply. Some assume that their safety program is sufficient without specific support for people working alone. Others have separate processes for work-alone scenarios, but find that those systems impact productivity.
In Canada, legal pot has left companies scrambling. Many are updating their health and safety policies. Some are planning outright bans. No one is sure if these policies will work, or be enforceable.
