OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

Occupational Health & Safety laws now demand that employers provide a safe working environment for all employees. Failure to meet these safe working practices could prove very costly to employers. If employees at times work on their own, they could be subjected to an unexpected accident or illness that could go unnoticed. Such an event could be avoided with the CareAlert Smart Dialer. An in-expensive solution to a potentially costly and unwanted experience.

If an employer has workers who work alone, the employer should:

• ensure workers have an effective means of communication such as the CareAlert Smart Dialer between the worker and persons capable of responding to the worker’s needs in case of an emergency (injury or sudden illness) 
• implement safety measures to reduce the risk to workers from the identified hazards

• regularly contact the worker at intervals appropriate to the nature of the hazard associated with the worker’s work.
• conduct a hazard assessment to identify existing or potential safety hazards in the workplace associated with working alone;
