This CPD course focuses on lone working safety for EPC assessors and other property professionals who routinely attend properties on their own.
Lone working is a normal part of EPC and surveying work, but it carries specific risks that must be understood and managed. This course provides clear, practical guidance on identifying hazards, reducing risk, and working safely in a wide range of property situations.
The course is suitable for both domestic and non-domestic assessors and is based on real-world scenarios commonly encountered during site visits, including occupied properties, vacant buildings, and unfamiliar locations.
The course is delivered as a downloadable PDF and counts towards your annual CPD requirement.
After completing the course, you’ll be able to generate your CPD certificate quickly and easily.
On the final page of the course PDF, there is a QR code which links to a short form.
Once you enter your details, your CPD certificate is automatically generated, confirming the total CPD hours.
The certificate is downloadable, printable, and suitable for submission to accreditation schemes.
