Course Overview

The value of preparation for service workplace violence prevention is only visible on the day it is needed. Most security failures involving violence prevention exploit a process gap rather than a technical one. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of corporate security practice and revise it on evidence. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better service workplace violence prevention is rarely technical. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the corporate security practice discipline and the judgement to adapt it. The level assumes working familiarity with the protected site but no prior formal training in violence prevention. Progress on service workplace violence prevention is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants apply violence prevention to their own protected site throughout, so the output is directly usable. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of corporate security practice sustainable.
