Lone Worker Check-In Register

An editable Excel lone worker check-in register for Queensland businesses. Record each person working alone: the job, the location and access notes, how you will contact them, the supervisor and the emergency contact. Type the check-in interval and the overdue time from your own risk assessment, log each check-in, and the sheet works out the next check-in due and shows a Status that turns red when a check-in is overdue. Escalation steps, the time of each and the outcome are recorded on the same row, so the register is a record of how the lone worker system was run.
