However, when your work environment has the potential for violence, like that of social workers or anyone who works with the public, a little paranoia can be a good thing. Situational awareness empowers employees to be their own best advocates for safety. Employees can stop tragedy in its tracks by adopting a constant state of alertness and readiness for whatever situation might come their way. Situational awareness is the ability to: Observe; Orient; Decide; and Act. This session will cover some of the latest tactics developed to protect individuals in threatening situations.
