 Lone workers can be at greater risk of harm as they may not have anyone to help or support them if things go wrong. Employers should provide training, supervision, monitoring and support for those working alone. Our free to download leaflet 'Protecting lone workers: How to manage the risks of working alone' is for anyone who employs lone workers, or engages them as contractors, including self-employed people or those who work alone. The leaflet is supported by our lone working webpages which include advice aimed at lone workers themselves. We also have a video setting out the key advice. | A livestock auction mart has been fined after an employee was fatally injured when he was struck by a dairy bull he was helping to load onto a lorry. The employee was helping to move a bull and four cows towards a waiting lorry at the premises of his employer. While trying to load the livestock into the lorry, the bull turned and attacked the employee, causing fatal injuries. HSE's investigation found that there weren't any suitable refuges or barriers within the loading area for those handling the livestock to shelter behind, if for example, cattle became aggressive.
