Join us for a free sponsored webinar with OK Alone.

For utility workers operating alone, the workplace is filled with inherent risks, and isolation acts as a dangerous multiplier—the “Amplification Effect”—turning minor incidents into potential Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) simply because help is not immediately available. Understanding these compounded threats is the first step toward building a true culture of safety.

It is also a regulatory imperative. Although there is no specific piece of legislation for working alone, OSHA’s General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1)) creates an undeniable legal obligation to provide a workplace “free from recognized hazards”. This affects those who are working alone, making it vital for organizations to proactively assess and implement robust systems to ensure safety and accountability.

 Time will be dedicated at the end of the discussion to answer live audience questions.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the specific, amplified hazards faced by lone workers in the US Utilities industry.
  • Grasp the nuances of US lone worker legislation, particularly OSHA’s General Duty Clause and its implications for employer responsibility.
  •  Learn how modern lone worker technology, like OK Alone, directly mitigates these risks and supports robust regulatory compliance.
  • Discover the significant operational and human-centered benefits of implementing a comprehensive lone worker safety solution.
  • Identify actionable steps to enhance lone worker safety protocols and foster a stronger safety culture within their organizations.

Attendance worth 1 contact hour for certification maintenance.
