Essex County Council
Essex County Council is one of the UK’s biggest councils employing approximately 9,000 staff. Council services include education, social care, waste and recycling, transport and highways, libraries, and leisure and tourism. Many of the staff who deliver these services work by themselves or out-of-sight of colleagues and can be in challenging customer-facing roles.
Essex County Council has lone workers in many departments. Roles with a particularly high-risk profile include those where staff work directly with residents and businesses such as trading standards officers, social workers, park wardens, officers who make site visits and even librarians in some of the smaller facilities across the county. Many of these team members are often in isolated locations, using potentially hazardous machinery or facing aggressive and violent behaviour from the public. The council identified all the staff roles that included a lone-working component, conducted a risk assessment, and established a health and safety profile for each one.
Essex County Council selected Lone Worker Solutions from Totalmobile to protect their team members when they are working alone or out-of-sight. Totalmobile’s Lone worker solution has enabled the council to have control over staff members giving them reassurance help is at hand should they need it.
