OCCUPATIONAL VIOLENCE & AGGRESSION TRAINING

Occupational violence and aggression is a very real risk in any workplace. To ensure the safety of your staff and customers, your team should have a thorough understanding of how to deal with workplace violence. 

 

We provide occupational violence and aggression training designed by organisational psychologists to assist employees to have a heightened awareness of the potential for violence in the workplace. Key elements include employee skills training for de-escalating conflict, learning how to deal with angry people and bullies at work, and complaint handling training.

    Course Description

    As we know violence can happen anywhere. Sometimes there are telltale signs that violence is about to occur and sometimes spontaneous violence occurs almost at random. This course gives participants practical psychological tools and tips to use when a situation escalates. The last module includes strategies to use after a violent incident has occurred. 

    The course will bring participants up to date with existing legislation and legal responsibilities in this area. This course is a lesson in the psychology of avoiding violence and it is not a self-defence course. The course is designed to keep violence at bay and give you psychological response ideas to try and nullify the danger.
