Personal safety is something everyone needs to focus on, in both their personal and professional life. Incidents of workplace aggression and violence are on the rise, and a growing number of employees work remotely or alone, making it essential to know how to stay protected. Keeping people safe from potential risks and hazards is an obligation for both employers and employees.
This course covers personal safety with an emphasis on the workplace, starting with a definition and the legal obligations around health and safety, before looking at personal safety for those who work alone, whether in an office, retail setting or remotely from home. It also reviews how to stay safe while travelling on business and when working at off-site locations.

- How to stay safe while on the road.
