First Night Shift Alone Ends in Death

The murder of a teenage girl on her first solo night shift at a gas station has brought calls for improving security for night workers who must work alone.

The 17-year-old girl was found murdered in the back room of a gas station in Montreal, QC. The station’s owner says the building should have been locked while the young woman was on shift. Customers should have been served through a transaction window, but obviously someone was able to get inside the building.

Do you have young workers who could be vulnerable to attack while working alone at night? What plan do you have in place to protect them?
