Situational Awareness and Personal Safety Training

This training  helps participants identify a “baseline” for each environment they may find themselves in, and teaches them to become aware when there are variations to this “baseline”. This training additionally helps front line employees identify obstacles to situational awareness and to utilize tactics to orient themselves to a variety of situations. 

These tactics include being able to answer three important questions:

• What is my situation?
• What is my safety plan?
• Am I prepared to react? 

Additionally, this session will teach participants to recognize pre-assault behaviors to help avoid a physical assault, and help identify different types of threats, including interpreting threatening body language. Participants will also learn to recognize when someone is building momentum for an assault and be able to identify measures to help avoid physical injury. 

These specialized training sessions focus on recognition and response to threats and acts of violence with regard to physical security and human resource concerns, and build upon content presented in the manager/supervisor training. Topics include:

• Responding to threats of violence – enforcing your policy
• Reporting responsibilities
• Dealing with traumatized employees
• Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED)
• Working with local law enforcement
• Identifying physical security vulnerabilities
