Lone Worker & Personal Safety Training

Our training helps staff recognise and identify the risks they might face in their day-to-day work, giving them effective tools to minimise the risks, so that by the end of the training they have a greater understanding of the potential risks and become confident in managing their own personal safety and any conflict situations. We also cover the legal aspects of lone working, ensuring your staff have a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities of both employees and employers. Choosing our Lone Worker and Personal Safety Training is an important way of demonstrating your commitment to staff personal safety and wellbeing.

Description

Awareness Presentations

A vital part of personal safety is having an awareness of who or what is going on around you and the environment that you’re in.  Our awareness presentations are ideal for organisations who wish to provide staff with training on personal safety issues but the level of risk in their work roles may not require the full depth of training.  The training is always highly interactive and a good way of getting staff to think about the importance of their own personal safety both in and outside of work.

Our trainers use their wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure that the content is fully relevant and relatable to your work, as we appreciate that each working environment has unique features that need to be recognized and understood. With all our training we include scenarios that are specific to your environment to help your staff deal with the issues they face in their role.
