                    Control Measures

                •  Employees or Contractors lone working on company premises must call or text in every hour
                    and at the beginning and end of each lone working shift.
                •  Should the lone worker forget or fail to phone, your manager will initially telephone you. If
                    there is no response your manager will then either dispatch a representative to site to carry
                    out a physical check, or if a representative is not available ring a list of numbers that they
                    hold on standby, (at least 3) until they speak to someone who can go to the site and check
                    that the lone worker is safe.
                •  To ensure any risks to lone workers are kept to a minimum, the risk assessment must be
                    followed. To ensure that lone workers are monitored we will monitor the site via CCTV where
                    possible or speak to you verbally at regular intervals throughout the day.
                •  Lone workers will also have access to a first aid kit that they must ensure remains adequately
                    stocked.
                •  All Lone workers will be provided with access to either an office or mobile phone by the
                    Company which they must ensure they keep charged and switched on whilst working.
                •  In the event of an emergency the main points of contact will be as follows:

                           John Gosling         07764 305455
                           Jamie Higgins        07736 691514
                           Neil Glazebrook      07739 479156
                           Jason Strudwick      07860 432489
                           John Riley           07515 333902

                •  All lone workers must comply fully with this policy and with any complementary instructions
                    received from the Company. Failure to do so may constitute a disciplinary offence.


            Managers and Supervisors will be expected to have used the Lone Working Checklist before
            asking a member of staff to work alone.  It is also a requirement of every member of staff to
            use the checklist to ensure their safety and the safety of their colleagues and visitors to the
            business.
            In the waste business it is inevitable that at sometimes members of staff will be expected to
            work on their own. This policy and Check list has been designed with Your safety in mind.
