Working alone in Illinois
A starting point for hotel and casino employee safety.
Authority and scope
Hotel and casino employee safety
Illinois requires covered hotel and casino employers to provide a safety or notification device at no cost when an employee is assigned to a guest room, restroom or casino floor with no other employee present in that area. The law also addresses an anti-sexual harassment policy and response procedures.

Questions for your plan
Are the workers and spaces covered, and can the selected device alert designated hotel or casino staff and summon prompt assistance to the worker’s location?
What to review
Review the covered workplace, device requirements, staff response and written anti-sexual harassment policy. Assess any specific device independently; the law requires an effective way to summon prompt on-site assistance.
Some work requires another person on site. Remote monitoring does not replace that requirement or the organization's own assessment, training and emergency procedures.
