Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing the Work Environment and Facilities 4.2a: 4.2 Manage remote or isolated work risks and ensure effective communication

Under WHS Regulation 48 a PCBU must manage the physical and psychosocial risks of remote or isolated work, including effective communication with the worker. Remote or isolated work is isolated from the assistance of other people because of the location, time or nature of the work, whether the worker is far from populated areas or alone at night in a city building. Examples include all-night convenience store attendants, sales representatives, long-distance drivers, field scientists and rangers, and health and community workers working alone. Violence, sexual harassment and poor access to support and emergency assistance are the main risk drivers.
