| G4S Secure Solutions (UK), part of the international security solutions provider G4S plc, will be a major sponsor of and a key speaker at the Lone Worker Safety 2010 conference and exhibition in London on 11 May. The event, to be held at London’s Earls Court Conference Centre, is aimed at like-minded professionals with a genuine interest in improving the personal safety of lone workers (defined as those who work by themselves without close or direct supervision). This unique and important event is a definite “must-attend” for managers, team leaders and all those with a direct responsibility for the safety of at-risk or lone workers.

Addressing
delegates on “The moral and legal obligations of protecting lone workers”, Bob
Mayley, National Health, Safety and Environmental Adviser, G4S Secure Solutions
(UK), will speak about how employers can keep employees safe, in particular
their at-risk and lone workers, whilst fulfilling their moral and legal
obligations. Mayley will also discuss the likely financial impact on a business
when it flouts its legal and moral obligations. With some 20,000 employees in
our business, an issue that I’m often asked about is keeping lone workers safe.
With a considerable number of laws and legislations bandied about, it can be
difficult to see through the fog of what we should actually be doing to protect
our employees, particularly those that work alone or within a high risk
environment”, says Mayley.
