[asterisk-users] Lone worker system

Actually, in the UK, a company has a duty under the Health and Safety at
Work etc Act of 1974, and the Management of Health and Safety at Work
Regulations of 1999.



'Employers have responsibilities for the health,
safety and welfare at work of their employees
and the health and safety of those affected by
the work, eg visitors, such as contractors and
self-employed people who employers may
engage. These responsibilities cannot be
transferred to people who work alone. It is the
employer's duty to assess risks to lone
workers and take steps to avoid or control risk
where necessary. Employees have
responsibilities to take reasonable care of
themselves and other people affected by their
work and to co-operate with their employers in
meeting their legal obligations.'
