As crime spirals upward, and employees get mugged, hijacked and traumatised, more companies are under pressure to provide Personal Safety and Anti Hijack training for their staff. We believe the personal safety of your workforce; particularly key executives, sales and security personnel should be of vital concern to your business.
Personal Safety training workshops are always customized for the specific risks that YOUR staff face on a regular basis.

Essential Personal Safety
Most crimes are preventable by being aware of our surroundings. The ACT Personal Safety training sessions are a fun way to learn essential safety information including when and where most violent confrontations take place, how to recognize different types of criminals, how to minimize your vulnerability and how best to respond to an attacker to maximize your chances of survival. By means of some simple interactive physical exercises you will also learn how to recognise suspicious behaviour and avoid potentially dangerous confrontations.

Hijack Avoidance & Survival
In this workshop, you will learn how to reduce your chances of being targeted as a hijack victim, as well as how to survive hijackings if you are attacked. We will cover the importance of taking responsibility for your safety and making decisions as well as planning your safety. Through this session, you will understand the goal of hijackers, where you are most vulnerable, and how to use this knowledge effectively. Learning what you and other vehicle occupants can do if you are hijacked could ultimately save you or a family member’s life.

Rape Prevention
South Africa has one of the highest reported incidents of rape in the world. Instead of trying to find a “one size fits all” approach, this workshop helps you to understand the various ways rapes occur. We will look at our individual vulnerabilities and how best to reduce the risks to which we are exposed. You will learn about the essential tools needed to avoid being raped and consider both the theory and the physical aspects of effective rape prevention.

Securing Your Business from the inside out with Personal Safety Corporate Services. We believe the personal safety of your employees, particularly key executive, sales and security personnel should be of vital concern to your business. Our corporate services extend from personal safety training through to the creation of policies, procedures, standards and guidelines to help secure your business from the inside out.

Policies and procedures are the strategic link between the vision for safety, and the realization of that vision through the day-to-day operations of security guards within the security system. The reality is that most security providers simply use “one-size-fits-all” “Standard Operating Procedures” (SOPs) that come with their security guards. Policies and procedures are seldom customised to reflect the unique threats and weaknesses of the particular Business or Residential Estate and are frequently flawed if implemented blindly.

Policies and procedures need to be clear, integrated, effective and relevant for the Business or Residential Estate being served. Personal Safety will review, test, train on, and revise policies and procedures regularly in order to provide ongoing improvements. Good policies and procedures allow managers to control events in advance and prevent costly life-threatening mistakes.

Managing threats is a balance between what is possible and what is probable and what it costs to mitigate the likely threats. Businesses and Residential Estate’s spend a great deal of money protecting their properties against general crime, without necessarily customizing for likely or high impact threats. Personal Safety ensures that threats are correctly identified; in particular the likely and high impact threats, and also ensures that the most cost-effective security systems and processes necessary to combat these are identified. Such threat identification covers the crime potential and trends both inside the Business or Estate as well as in the immediate surrounds.
