Section 3-24 of the OHS Regulations, 2020 outlines your obligations for workers working alone
A worker "works alone" when they're the only worker of that employer at the worksite, in circumstances where assistance isn't readily available if needed.
Section 3-24 →
Before anyone works alone, the employer must identify the specific risks associated with that work, both from the work itself and from working alone.
Section 3-24 →
Employers must take "all reasonably practicable steps" to eliminate or reduce the identified risks. This standard requires demonstrable action.
Section 3-24 →
As a risk-reduction measure, the regulation lets you impose limits on, or prohibit, specified activities when a worker is alone. It doesn't publish a banned-activity list, you set those limits based on your hazard assessment.
Section 3-24 →
Workers must be able to contact someone who can provide assistance. The communication method must actually work in the environment where they're working.
Section 3-24 →
Employers with 10+ workers in moderate to high-hazard industries need a formal OHS Program. Lone worker procedures should be part of this program.
