That's a shame. While outdated it was very useful for those setting up home workstations or wanting tips on how to adjust items, also for the exercises when experiencing pain or discomfort. I hope they produce something similar in the future.

The Ministry of Health website should be your first source of truth, or the briefings from the Director-General of Health.
All other Government agencies will take their lead from the MoH.

Hi there, we use Buddi as our lone worker system.
It comprises of a GPS monitored clip, and a 'watch' that users wear to raise the alarm if needed, and a base for charging.
The clip is a one-way voice system that connects to the St John monitoring centre when activated. They listen and determine the course of action based on what they hear.
Behind the scenes there is a portal where you can manage devices/users, see where units/users are (if needed) etc.

Our risks are workers having face-to-face meetings with potentially aggressive customers away from the office (and it's controls).

Happy to chat if you want to know more about how we use it etc.

This happens all too often. People/contractors write a plan then do the complete opposite. Usually the plan includes 'what the principle wants to hear, not what is actually going to occur'.

Hi Jo, I have used and implemented a few systems so would be happy to converse with you about this. Feel free to email me for a chat.

Thanks all, we have already decided not to include it in our kits but it was nice to hear others thoughts.

Hi Sam, have you had a look at the NZ Tenancy Tribunal website? You might find some information on there.

Hi Rob, have you read the Government Health and Safety Lead produced document - A Guide for Maintaining Health and Wellbeing?

There are some great tools in the book for dealing with stress which may be of use.

As everyone reacts to stress differently, my suggestion would be to conduct an audit or get participants to conduct a self-assessment using the tools in the document above. This will give you a baseline, then you can conduct the same self-asessment on a regular basis which should help you determine whether the stress levels are getting better or worse. Keeping in mind that the self-assessment is 'a point in time' so you would want participants to complete the self-assessment when they are feeling 'normal', not on high stress days.

I hope that helps.

Thanks
Sharyn
