Protection of isolated workers - the issues

Written by editor

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

The legal framework

According to the French Labor Code, the employer is obliged to take the necessary measures and surround himself with the essential skills to guarantee maximum protection for the people working in his company (article L. 4121-1 et seq.).

Examples of isolated employees exposed to high risks

Courier, delivery driver, maintenance technician or even floor manager staying on after closing time, all these employees have one thing in common: they are among the many lone workers in France. This status implies special rules to be respected, as these people can find themselves alone in the face of everyday dangers (accidents, assaults etc.). Even today, this subject is often underestimated by company managers. However, it is highly recommended to take an interest in it, in order to take the appropriate measures to protect your employees.

Protective devices for isolated workers
