Good general course

Not all the answers given are obvious, so listen carefully.

Mostly good. Course IS triggering

A good thorough course with some useful advice. I believe that making sure I am safe and well should be my top priority – yet in the test this is not the correct answer. I assume 'report to my manager' (the 3rd option being 'take time off work') was the correct answer. I think even she would want me to make sure I am safe and well first!

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

Personal safety at work is a shared legal responsibility between employers and their team. The legislation that applies to personal safety sets out the responsibilities that employers have to their employees and to the public, as well as the responsibilities employees have to themselves and to each other.

An employer must take care of your health, safety, and welfare at work. They must also make sure that all potential risks are minimised no matter what role a person holds in the organisation. There will be a policy in place that addresses work-related aggression and violence as well as how to keep staff safe throughout their employment. This policy will also explain what staff must do in any situation where there is a risk or an actual incident of aggressive or violent behaviour, and what they (the employer) will do to protect and support staff.
