This one-day personal safety training course has been developed for people who regularly work alone.
Whether in an office environment or dealing with the public away from the office, this personal safety training is designed to ensure workers have the knowledge and skills required to act appropriately in circumstances where they might feel at risk. It will equip you to recognise the early warning signs of confrontation, defuse or deescalate a situation, and reduce the risk of violence.
The training also focuses on systems and strategies for forming safer working practices and includes ideas for increasing confidence at work.

By the end of this lone working and personal safety training course, you will be able to:
- Increase your awareness of personal safety issues for lone workers.

Who should take this course
This personal safety training can be tailored towards three different types of workers:
Frontline lone working staff
- Office-based staff
- Senior / line management involved with implementing systems and monitoring staff safety
Once the training is booked, the training consultant will contact you to discuss your needs and understand the roles of the delegates to form a suitable course. For manager training, the course will include the same personal safety content, but will focus on managers assessing their responsibilities towards those they manage.
