Health and safety at a distance: how to keep lone workers safe

As a WSPS Consultant, Troy Nel spends much of his time travelling to remote locations by car to deliver training. He is one of thousands of Canadians who work alone, some or all the time, without direct supervision on or off the worksite. They may deliver services and products to homes or businesses, work alone after hours, work at home, or travel to geographically remote areas.
