Alleinarbeit

Es gibt Jobs und Tätigkeiten, da ist man auf sich allein gestellt: Sei es der nächtliche Kontrollgang eines Wachmannes im Unternehmen oder der Mann an der Maschine, der in der Spätschicht die letzten Teile für den dringenden Auftrag herstellen muss. Beide könnten ein Problem bekommen. Was ist, wenn Ihnen in dieser Situation etwas zustößt? Für diesen Fall Vorsorge zu treffen, ist Aufgabe des Unternehmers. Ein Alleinarbeitsplatz oder auch Einzelarbeitsplatz genannt (EAP) ist also räumlich von anderen Arbeitsplätzen abgetrennt. Er kann stationär oder mobil sein. Man spricht auch von Alleinarbeit, wenn einer allein arbeitenden Person in einem Notfall nicht unverzüglich Hilfe geleistet werden kann.
