Controles que hay que revisar, del más eficaz al menos eficaz

1. Avoid lone work for high-risk tasks, and pair workers up for work such as confined space entry, work at height and work near water.
2. Assess each remote or isolated site for hazards, and confirm the work can be done safely without help close by.
3. Set a check-in schedule with a named contact, and have a procedure for acting straight away if a check-in is missed.
4. Provide a communication method that works at the location, such as a satellite phone, radio or personal locator beacon, and test it before starting.
5. Provide personal alarms or man-down devices where workers cannot easily reach a phone, and train them to use them.
6. Make sure the worker has first aid supplies, knows the emergency plan and can give their location to emergency services.
