Operatives are to contact the office to log them as a lone worker.
When the task is completed the operative is to call head office to confirm completion of the task.
If no call is received then the office is to contact to the operative to confirm completion of the task.
If the operative cannot be contacted then the last known destination should be checked to ensure operative is not
there.

Staff to make site management aware of movements for the day. If movements change unexpectedly then
communicate this to office.
All mobile staff to have mobile telephones.
Management to communicate any at risk register information to staff (including sub-contractors).
General policy that no-one is to visit “at risk” residents (including site managers, RLO’s, Surveyors and
Operatives) alone.
Staff visiting tenants to check into site office (or telephone office) at the end of each day.
If an expected contact is not received then the responsible manager is to investigate by contacting operative,
contacting the areas the operative was thought to be visiting, contacting the operative’s next of kin and ultimately
contacting the police.
Borras Staff likely to visit homeowners on their own to receive training in avoiding potentially violent or threatening
situations.
Staff to report any acts of violence or aggression as an incident or near miss.
