When wearing headphones don’t turn them up so loud that you cannot hear outside noise. • Save an ICE (in case of emergency) number in your phone. This can help emergency personnel locate a friend or family member who can speak on your behalf if you become unconscious or incapacitated. Just enter the acronym ICE into your mobile's phone book and then log the name and number of someone who should be contacted in an emergency. If you have more than one contact name you can use ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc. Example, ICE1 Mum 01234 567890. • Before leaving your house or the office, always think about your keys,

What's the issue? The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) defines lone workers as people who work by themselves without close or direct supervision. Examples include: • people who work from home • people who work away from a fixed base • professionals visiting domestic and commercial premises • people who work separately from others on the same premises (eg cleaners, security, maintenance and reception workers or people who work outside normal business hours) Changing ways of working and greater use of technology are increasing the number of people who might be categorised as lone workers. Employers are responsible for lone worker safety during working hours, whether they are in the office, in a vehicle, working from home or on a home visit. This responsibility is not just for the physical wellbeing of lone workers but also extends to their mental wellbeing. Establishing a healthy and safe working environment for lone workers can be different from organising the health and safety of other employees. They should not be put at more risk than other people working for you. Responsibilities By

This Practice Note provides an overview of the new cap and floor subsidy regime introduced by the UK government to support Long Duration Electricity Storage (LDES) projects in Great Britain (GB). It does not cover subsidy support for LDES projects in Northern Ireland, as this falls outside of the territorial scope of the regime. The new LDES subsidy regime has been introduced initially to support the delivery of new (or significantly refurbished existing) LDES projects from 2030 onwards, with the first track for projects to be delivered by 2030, and the second track for projects to be delivered by 2033. The first application window under the scheme (covering both delivery tracks) opened on 8 April 2025 (see: LNB News 08/04/2025 20) and closed on 9 June 2025. Successful LDES assets will initially receive cap and floor support for a period of 25 years (as standard), with ‘economic, efficient and effective’ capital costs invested by developers being recovered over this period, provided certain criteria are met.
