lone working

hi guys and gals…

it’s been a while since i posted but i’ve been lurking. hope you’re all doing ok.

i’ve a question regarding the legalities of lone working at a site, are any of you genned up on this please?

i self tip at a customers site after midnight. the place is locked down. i have to ring the cctv firm, knock off the intruder system, unlock the gates, park up, open the loading bay and then tip into their warehouse (pallets&pumptruck). then reverse all of that before i leave.

i wonder how long it would take someone to find me if i a, slipped off the tail lift b, had a pallet go over on me c, had some other drama?

don’t get me wrong, i’m not moaning, i’m working but where do i stand on the HSE front please? or is this just standard procedure for any of you?

cheers

Check this out, it’s not illegal but i don’t think i would be comfterble with it, like you said what if■■?

I load myself with a forklift at one place and being by myself carry my phone with me but I don’t worry too much about it to be honest.
Maybe when you call the CCTV lot ask them to keep an eye open instead of kipping…at least til you’ve finished :laughing:
