Sicherheit von Alleinarbeitern und Stress am Arbeitsplatz

Lone workers face many dangers on the job. Whether your teams are working indoors, outdoors, driving or in remote locations, your job is to make sure you’ve got your lone workers covered. From slips, trips or falls to vehicle collisions, and chemical exposures—ensuring you have the right protocols in place for your lone workers is key.

How do you help your lone workers mitigate workplace stress?

According to the American Institute of Stress, multiple studies show that workplace stress is the No. 1 source of stress for American adults.

A report from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health shows that 40 percent of workers said their job was very or extremely stressful and 25 percent view their jobs as the No. 1 stressor in their lives. And, regarding workplace injuries, the study shows “there is a growing concern that stressful working conditions interfere with safe work practices and set the stage for injuries at work.”

Für allein arbeitende Personen stellen stressige Arbeitsplätze ein noch höheres Risiko für Sicherheitsvorfälle am Arbeitsplatz dar. Die Umsetzung von Sicherheitsprogrammen, die einen Unterschied machen, und die Überwachung der Sicherheit von allein arbeitenden Mitarbeitern können Stress reduzieren und Leben retten. Weltweit werden Fortschritte erzielt, um Stress am Arbeitsplatz zu mindern und Ressourcen bereitzustellen, die zur Vorbeugung von Stress und zur Verbesserung der psychischen Gesundheit beitragen.
