Course Description – Personal Safety for Lone Workers Course

Our lone worker safety course is designed specifically to help learners deal with workplace violence; especially where they are working on their own or with limited access to assistance from others.

Workplace Violence represents itself in many different forms including; conflict, bullying, intimidation, verbal aggression, threatening behaviour, harassment, physical aggression and violence.

Lone worker safety training combines key elements of conflict management / conflict resolution theory, alongside personal safety skills and break-away / disengagement techniques.

The primary objective of lone worker safety training, is to help learners proactively manage and resolve conflict in order to minimise aggression and violence in their workplace. Unfortunately in some working environments, while effective conflict management and conflict resolution skills will dramatically reduce the instances of escalation, they will not eliminate them entirely.

In these working environments our low-impact personal safety, break-away and disengagement techniques allow lone workers and those working with limited assistance available, to create distance and escape an aggressor. Our personal safety techniques are specifically designed to be low-impact and do not require the use of force or strength to be effective.

Not only does lone worker safety training reduce the instances of workplace violence, it also improves the internal and external customer service skills of your workforce.

For example; subjects such as effective communication and the understanding of non-verbal indicators (body language), will ultimately work through your workforce to have a positive impact on your customers.

On completion learners will be able to apply their newly gained knowledge and skills to manage and reduce conflict in their workplace. They will adopt a fresh approach to dealing with aggressive and violent individuals and protect themselves from the negative impact of conflict, aggression and violence which manifests itself in the workplace.
