This guidance provides simple, practical and cost effective measures which employers can use to help prevent and manage the risk of violence to lone workers.
Effective measures do not have to be expensive. The most effective solutions usually arise from the way the business is run, such as staff training, working procedures and the physical environment. High-cost security equipment will normally only be needed where there is a particularly high risk.

This guidance note has been revised to take account of the changes in the Noise at Work Regulations. The erection and dismantling of scaffolding can create quite high levels of noise. The general moving and storage of scaffolding materials can be quite noisy and other related activities such as abrasive wheel cutters, bench mounted circular saws and drills all generate noise levels that could be detrimental to health that may require the employer to provide hearing protection and the employees to use it correctly.
The legal requirement for rescue is specified in the ‘Work at Height Regulations 2005’ and require every employer in selecting work equipment for use in work at height to take account of the need for easy and timely evacuation and rescue in an emergency. 11 pages
Construction workers including scaffolders need adequate toilet and washing facilities, a place to warm up and eat food and somewhere to store clothing, keeping street clothing separate from work clothing to avoid any contamination. 4 pages
