Workers within the professional services industry cover a wide range of roles and can be found in any sector. To name a few, professional service workers include lawyers, architects, accountants, financial advisers, engineers, and consultants, among others.
While these traditionally office-based workers may not be regarded high-risk, many of them work alone, from home, or outside of traditional office hours. As such, they can be classified as lone workers and employers have a duty of care to ensure their health, safety and welfare.
