Protection of lone workers - the issues

Written by editor

Protecting isolated workers is a major issue for companies in France. In the event of an incident, the employer is held legally responsible, a situation that must be avoided. So what are the rules to be observed? And what can you do to protect the health and safety of your employees?

The legal framework

According to the provisions of the French Labour Code, employers are obliged to take the necessary measures and acquire the necessary skills to guarantee maximum protection for the people working in their company (article L. 4121-1 et seq.).

Examples of isolated employees exposed to high risks

Couriers, delivery drivers, maintenance technicians or even floor managers staying on after closing time, all these employees have one thing in common: they are among the many lone workers in France. This status means that they have to comply with specific rules, as they may find themselves alone in the face of everyday dangers (accidents, attacks, etc.). Even today, this is a subject that is often underestimated by company directors. However, it is highly recommended that you take an interest in this issue, so that you can take the appropriate measures to protect your employees.
