Answer:

The use of 'One' in place of pronouns such as She/Her and He/Him is usually used in products such as heating pads (ONE should not sleep with the heating pad on) or Candles (ONE should not leave a candle unattended) and stuff like that.

In writing stories, generic pronouns are usually used when the person of a person is unknown. Those pronouns are they/them.

I hope this helps
