What is the UK law on lone worker safety?

“You are responsible for the health, safety and welfare at work of all your workers, and this applies to any contractors, volunteers or self-employed people” —HSE.

The Health and Safety Executive requires business owners to meet regulations of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations sufficiently protect their workforce and others who interact with the business.

All businesses are required by law to supply a first aid kit, but you are also required by law to conduct a risk assessment to determine the unique risks of your business operations and how to mitigate them.
