Lone Worker Level 2 (VTQ)

Working alone is not in itself against the law, and it will often be safe to do so. However, the law requires employers and others to think about and deal with any health and safety risks and or hazards of the work before people should be allowed to work alone. .

Employers have responsibility for the health, safety and welfare at work of all of their employees. They are also responsible for the health and safety of those affected by work activities, for example, any self-employed people they engage and visitors such as contractors.

Lone worker training ensures that lone workers have the knowledge to keep safe at work and employers understand their responsibilities.

You can gain your qualification 100% online and like most of the other ProTrainings qualifications, is endorsed by TQUK to show our commitment to extra levels of compliance and quality assurance.

How It Works:

1. We sell access keycodes to ProTrainings online courses up to 25% below the RRP. Order the number of access keycodes you need for each course like any other product from Eureka, checking out and completing your order as you normally would. You will need to order one keycode per course, per person. Keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.

2. When you have completed your order, we will email you with:

• A link to the training portal
• Your keycode(s) for the courses ordered
• A PDF of what to do next

3. If necessary, you can then distribute keycode(s) to other learners as required, or use the keycode(s) yourself if the training is for you. Remember, keycodes can only be redeemed once and only work for the course specified.

4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/vsafety. Each learner needs their own personal account so certificates and training records are correct. Redeem keycodes by entering a keycode in the ‘Key or Referral Code’ box as part of the sign up form. This will then make the relevant course for that keycode appear on the training dashboard when first logging in.

5. If you already have a login or have multiple courses you wish to appear in your training dashboard, you can redeem more keycodes easily by clicking the ‘Redeem Keycode’ link when logged in. Adding a new keycode in here will then add the relevant course to your training dashboard.

Once you have signed up on the ProTrainings portal, all of the administration, including saving progress, training records, issuing certificates and access to the material, is stored within your training login. This is on the ProTrainings system and is separate to the VSafety website. The portal is simple and intuitive to use.
