Case History; Shelia works most weekends for an estate agent selling new houses from an onsite show house. Her weekend schedule is as follows: Saturday, Dundee. 1300-1700hrs Sunday, Broughty Ferry 1300-1700hrs From the time Shelia commences work she is classed as a lone worker. The estate agents do not have anything in place to ensure Shelia’s safety.
