Why Is Violence and Aggression Training Important?
If there is a risk of violence and aggression happening in your work premises, this hazard must be minimised. Those particularly at risk include those with public facing roles and lone workers.
Violence and aggression can lead to difficulty with retaining competent staff and recruitment of new staff. For employees, these incidents can lead to stress, pain, and disability or worse.
Employers are legally obligated to control violence and aggression in the workplace where there is a risk of it occurring. Providing an adequate level of training and putting in place a violence and aggression at work policy to protect employee safety are essential risk controls.
About Violence and Aggression Training
Workplace violence includes “any incident in which a person is abused, threatened or assaulted in circumstances relating to their work” as per Health and Safety Executive.
Verbal abuse and threats are more common in the workplace than physical attacks. While these types of incidents cannot always be predicted, they can be prepared for. Anyone at risk of exposure needs to be prepared to handle them to minimise the risk themselves and others.
