NOT YOUR TYPICAL SAFETY COURSE!
Do your employees travel for work purposes or deal with members of the public?
If so, then what training do they have to help keep them safe?
If so, then what training do they have to help keep them safe?
PRE-ACT is an interactive and thought-provoking workshop that seamlessly fills the gap found where training for workplace safety ends, but where personal security risks for travelling and public facing employees remain.
Businesses that need to meet their obligation to mitigate ever increasing personal security risks when the “workplace” expands beyond the controls of the office or workshop, or that wish to invest in the holistic health and safety of their employees, can through PRE-ACT, help share practical methods that aim to develop effective personal security through strong situational awareness and threat recognition skills.
Rather than an uncomfortable and potentially unrealistic introduction to physical self defence, delegates will instead come to recognise our unique adaptation of conventional risk assessment methodologies and risk mitigation hierarchies used in the workplace. PRE-ACT focusses on contextualising dynamic perception and understanding of personal security risks to afford the opportunity to predict potential outcomes and so aid early decision-making capabilities to avoid or deter potential threats to safety.
This distinctive adaptation of familiar risk hierarchies and supporting tools is designed to instil a Safe Habit Blueprint that is equally valuable for when working within industry, or to help avoid potential threats to one’s health, personal security and general well-being. By combining these areas, PRE-ACT promotes a strong message that crosses boundaries to form an effective mind-set for holistic safety, motivation and positive thinking.

WHO IS PRE-ACT FOR?
|
The core of the PRE-ACT method was designed for businesses whose representatives engage with other members of the public, or travel to unfamiliar places where usual workplace safety control measures are lost.
However, the workshop has been purposefully made adaptable to suit almost any bespoke requirements, activities and age range, where a greater awareness of one's personal security may prove valuable and in some cases, potentially life-saving. |
✅ Employees who travel for work.
✅ Employees who engage with the public. ✅ Employees who work outside late at night. ✅ Health care workers who make home visits. ✅ Schools, colleges and universities. ✅ First responders and emergency services. ✅ Hospital staff and facility maintenance. ✅ Security personnel or night porters. ✅ High street store owners and employees. ✅ Bartenders or restaurant staff. |
We mix research-backed theory with fun and thought-provoking group exercises to promote positive participation, increase engagement and maximise learning.
|
Awareness and threat perception are the corner-stones of any effective personal safety strategy and we emphasise avoidance as the best means of protection.
|
Unfortunately, violence is a natural part of life. Our approach helps minimise the likelihood of facing a potential threat and provides tools to help maximise safety.
