Train Employees to Take Personal Security Measures
Take a proactive role in violence prevention. Convince your employees to make personal security a habit when coming and going from the workplace or traveling on business.
Advise them to do the following:
- Keep vehicle doors locked—both while driving and whenever you leave the vehicle.
- Check your vehicle before entering it to make sure no one is hiding under or inside.
- When walking, choose busy, well-lit areas, and check the personal space around you to be alert for muggers or others who might threaten your safety.
- If you feel uncomfortable or believe you are being stalked, go into a well-lit, busy store.
- Carry purses, briefcases, or computers close to your body to deter theft.
Yes, you do have the budget and time to train managers and supervisors with BLR’s® 10-Minute HR Trainer. Try it at no cost or risk. Get details.
Workplace violence is a real and present danger that requires you and your employees to take effective preventive action. Here’s a sample handout from the 10-Minute HR Trainer:
Sample Handout—Violence Prevention
Do your part to prevent violence at [ABC] Company:

- Report any unauthorized strangers to security, including people loitering in parking areas or outside the building.
- Make sure visitors are met in the lobby and escorted.
- Don’t open strange or unexpected packages or letters—send them to security.
- Closely guard all security information, access codes, keys, etc.
- Arrange a danger signal or code phrase to alert co-workers to trouble.
- Take any threats or harassment seriously, and report them to your supervisor.
- Let someone know when you are working late and stay near a phone.
- Report any security problems, such as burned out lights, broken locks, malfunctioning security systems, etc.
