The Lone Worker Risk Assessment Template has been developed to address the specific safety requirements and risk management needs of organizations operating in Australia where employees work alone or in isolated conditions. This document is essential for compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and associated regulations, which require employers to identify, assess, and control risks to lone workers. It should be used whenever an organization has employees working alone, in remote locations, or outside regular business hours. The template incorporates current best practices in risk assessment methodology, emergency response planning, and communication protocols, while ensuring alignment with Australian safety standards and legislative requirements.
