Our Lone Worker Policy
Strict Health & Safety Guidelines
Commitment to Health & Safety
Armorlink Security is committed to protecting the health, safety, and well-being of employees who work alone or in isolated environments. We recognize that lone working can increase risk during emergency situations and therefore implement clear procedures, controls, and support systems to ensure employee safety at all times.
Objective
The objective of this Lone Worker Policy is to minimize risks to employees who work alone or without direct supervision. This policy demonstrates Armorlink Security’s commitment to providing a safe working environment through risk assessment, training, communication, and effective emergency response measures.

Although lone working can be carried out safely, additional precautions are required in emergency or high-risk situations. This policy outlines the procedures to protect employees under such conditions.
