Whilst very few of us will become victims of serious crime, a small number of the population are subjected to violent assaults. This 25 minute video on personal safety, with accompanying notes, endorsed by the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, has been produced to help you recognise potential danger, both in and out of the workplace.

Presented in news magazine style, the video illustrates points for you to follow, to reduce the risk of assault, when travelling to work, dealing with members of the public or meeting new business clients. These include tips on:

Thinking ahead.
Informing colleagues of your schedule.
Planning your route.
Presenting a professional image and dressing accordingly.

The 1992 Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations places a requirement on all employers to provide training in these areas. This video highlights potentially dangerous situations, and will benefit anyone who works alone.
It also puts across important personal safety messages to all employers and employees and provides practical advice for avoiding or reducing the possibilities of these situations occurring.
