Working alone in Kansas
A starting point for workplace safety and violence prevention resources.
Authority and scope
Workplace safety and violence prevention resources
Federal OSHA covers most private-sector workers in Kansas; state and local government workers are not covered by federal OSHA. Kansas offers workplace safety services and publishes a violence policy for state employees. The state employee policy is an example, not a rule for every employer.
This is one starting point for the work described, not a complete list of state or federal requirements. Check which agency and rules apply to the employer and task.

Questions for your plan
For public-facing visits or work away from colleagues, how will threats be reported and who can respond?
What to review
Review the rules for the employer and task. The Kansas policy linked here applies to state employees; it is a practical example of reporting and response rather than a universal mandate.
Some work requires another person on site. Remote monitoring does not replace that requirement or the organization's own assessment, training and emergency procedures.
