Document background
The Lone Worker Risk Assessment is a critical document required under Philippine labor law, specifically aligned with Republic Act No. 11058 and DOLE guidelines, to protect employees who work alone or without direct supervision. This document becomes necessary when organizations employ individuals who operate in isolation, whether due to location, time of work, or nature of duties. It includes comprehensive risk evaluation, control measures, emergency protocols, and communication procedures. The assessment is particularly vital in the Philippine context where various industries, from manufacturing to agriculture, frequently employ lone workers in diverse geographical and operational settings. The document serves as both a compliance tool and a practical guide for ensuring worker safety, reflecting the requirements of Philippine occupational safety and health standards while incorporating international best practices in lone worker protection.
