Situational Awareness Training
Situational Awareness - The greatest skill you can acquire for your personal safety and security
Are you looking for an engaging Situational Awareness Training session to build your teams safety and security resilience? Many different organisations and operating environments are looking to educate their people on Situational Awareness Training in today’s complex environment, be it in a corporate office, retail, manufacturing or in the construction industry.
What is Situational Awareness Training about?
Situational Awareness Training is not a myth or a new training buzzword. It is very real, and an absence of situational awareness can reveal itself in many workplace accidents. In fact, when human error is found to be a root cause or contributor of an incident or workplace accident, inadequate Situational Awareness is often the error in question.
Every employee (every person, really) needs a sufficient and engaged level of Situational Awareness. Its value as a life skill is not gender-specific, nor is it contingent on your status or location. Think of those past occasions where you changed a course of action because you had a “gut feeling” that something was about to happen, or those times when you got caught out because you “didn’t see that coming.” All of those are raw examples of situational awareness rearing its head.
Risk exists - in any given occupation, and at any given time of day or circumstance, at work, home, in travel, in life, it is absolutely appropriate to engage the right level of situational awareness. That’s why its a life skill!
A good Situational Awareness training session will enhance your team’s level of situational awareness so they can adopt it on a daily basis.
Who is Situational Awareness Training for?
Organisations with the potential for face-to-face customer or client conflict are ideal candidates for Situational Awareness training. Businesses that have staff working alone or in isolated areas, or staff arriving and leaving at different hours (banks, hospitality, retail, call centres, brokers, real estate), or any other business that values its staff safety in and out of the office will benefit from the life skills of our presentations and training modules.
Think of all the times you’ve wished you could wind back the clock. What if a fresh perspective could have changed outcomes? A more engaged level of situational awareness could yield different results for the better. At its core, situational awareness is an understanding of risk, your environment, and you.
The forest worker working around falling timber and machinery, the nurse working in the ER department, the bank teller dealing with a threat of robbery, a broker visiting customers in remote locations, the real estate agent dealing with a cross-section of our society, the hospitality and retail industry who often have to deal with angry customers, front line response personnel dealing with drunks, the council workers dealing with 'stuff", driving on our roads through to walking home at night.
