Protecting the Isolated

A Leader's Guide to Procuring Lone Worker Safety Solutions

At 3:17 AM, Sarah Chen receives the call no safety leader wants: a lone worker is critically injured, lying undiscovered for hours. Suddenly, abstract safety protocols become devastatingly real.
"Protecting the Isolated" is an essential resource for environmental health and safety (EHS) professionals seeking effective, practical strategies to source, implement, and manage lone worker safety solutions. Through the compelling narrative of Sarah Chen's transformative journey at Meridian Utilities, readers gain insight into navigating organizational resistance, outdated technologies, and ineffective safety protocols.
Packed with real-world scenarios and actionable guidance, this book provides EHS professionals with practical tools and templates—including ready-to-use examples for RFIs, RFPs, and RFQs—to streamline safety procurement and drive meaningful implementation. "Protecting the Isolated" equips safety leaders not only to select and deploy the right safety solutions but to foster a robust safety culture where every employee feels supported and secure.
