Course Overview
Where workplace violence prevention depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Safety performance on this area of occupational health and safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the occupational health and safety discipline hard in practice. It suits anyone whose decisions touch workplace violence prevention, in large organisations and small ones alike. Organisations that document this strand of occupational health and safety properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It treats this area of occupational health and safety as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about workplace violence prevention. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider occupational health and safety agenda and under-invest in testing it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of occupational health and safety ready to put in front of a decision maker.
