Work-related verbal abuse and violence is a serious problem for many workers. According to the Health & Safety Executive, each year there are over 1 million incidents of physical violence and threats to workers in England and Wales. Their recent research has shown that employees who work alone and/or travel from their work base have an increased risk of experiencing work-related violence. 

There are many roles in today’s workplace that require the need to work alone and these include employees who work away from their business base, people working outside normal hours, mobile workers and those who work from home. It is the legal duty of the employer to assess risks to lone workers and take steps to control risk where necessary.
