Questions for your plan

How will the organization check on workers and arrange assistance at the actual location?

What to review

Consider how workers can be checked and how assistance can reach them when injury or another event prevents them from seeking help.

Some work requires another person on site. Remote monitoring does not replace that requirement or the organization's own assessment, training and emergency procedures.
