The Body Force Personal Safety System

Personal Safety Training to suit your Personal or Corporate needs

The Health and Safety Executive have identified many occupations and positions which involve a higher degree of risk of confrontation with people, be it verbal or physical, and therefore a greater threat of violence or fear of such violence to those within such jobs. They include employees working in retail business, the caring professions e.g. nurses and doctors, and those in security work e.g. doorstaff and private security staff, there are of course many more such jobs, many involve providing some type of service to sections of an ever more demanding public. With greater stress in everyone's day to day life and the expectations for better and more immediate service there is always a greater and ever increasing risk of confrontation.
Many companies and organisations are now recognising the need to train their staff to be better able to deal with conflict situations. Even if a situation does not become physically violent, the actual threat of violence coupled with the inability (often through lack of training) to deal with the incident can be devastating to employees. This can result in illness and poor work performance, as well as a poor reflection on the companies' professional image when it comes to dealing with difficult situations.

Training
Body Force is a very flexible Personal Safety Training Package, it can be taught in short one and two day programmes in house or in six to ten week courses to give participants a firm understanding of how to deal with potential personal confrontation.

The resultant skills can give participants greater confidence in their own abilities to handle situations whilst still retaining a firm grip on realistic capabilities (knowing when things are too dangerous for them to tackle).
