New Lone Worker Safety Model Program Introduced at MSCA24

September 23, 2024

Lone workers are the focus of a new model safety program introduced by MCAA Chair Renee Fiorelli at MSCA24. The Lone Worker Safety Model Program helps contractors identify risks and hazards and ensure adequate systems are in place to protect those who work by themselves where assistance is not readily available when needed, or who do not have the benefit of interactions with others.

MSCA contractors around the country have started to implement dedicated lone worker safety programs to help increase productivity and improve the safety and health of the workers they serve. The new Lone Worker Safety Model Program facilitates this process by helping contractors to identify risks and hazards while at the same time ensuring adequate systems are in place to protect these workers’ health and safety. It can be easily tailored to meet each company’s specific needs, and highlights these areas and more:

  • Risk assessment
  • Risk mitigation
  • Responsibilities
  • Monitoring systems
  • Lone worker safety assessment

“Workers deserve a safe working environment, and contractors require that workers perform work safely. This program helps them both,” said Raffi Elchemmas, Executive Director of Safety, Health, and Risk Management for MCAA/MSCA.
