Radios for lone worker safety
How to improve lone worker security?
Employers' safety responsabilities
As an employer you are responsible for ensuring the security of your workers. You have to take "the necessary measures to ensure the safety and protect the physical and mental health of workers” (article L. 4121-1 of the French Labour Code).
In the event of an accident, isolation of your workers remains a factor that intensify the damage, which is still too underestimated in terms of prevention. The protection of a single worker includes all prevention/intervention measures and procedures designed to meet this obligation.
