| Abstract |
Employees who work alone can be grouped into five categories: employees who handle cash (store clerks, taxi drivers), employees who travel away from base office to meet their clients (including home care and social service employees and police officers), employees who do hazardous work (logging, oil, gas industries), employees who travel alone (truck drivers, businessmen) and employees who are at risk of a violent attack because their work site is isolated from public view (security guards, custodians). This handbook outlines employers' obligations and describes how to set up a safety programme. Best practices to avoid risk for each of these categories are reviewed. Appendices include check lists and legal requirements for employers and workers, as well as robbery prevention standards for clerks and violence prevention procedures in case of robbery. |
