Please Note:

While Safely Requesting Customer Co-operation does enhance employee safety, it is not intended as a stand-alone workplace violence prevention program.

Important Take-Aways

Public interactions can be dynamic, and workers must be able to adapt in order to safely and effectively manage. This course provides best practices that can be used for a variety of circumstances. Workers learn that they do have a choice in how they respond to difficult and sometimes volatile interactions.

Benefits

  • Reduced Potential for Verbal Abuse and Threats of Violence

    Employees can be exposed to behaviours ranging from low-level resistance to verbal abuse, harassment, or acts of violence. We recognize that public compliance, as well as the level of risk, is often determined by the choices made by the employee.

  • Enhance Employee Safety and Confidence

    With personal safety as a priority and keeping focus on managing vs controlling the public, employees can make safer decisions, trust their intuition and recognize that violence prevention is ultimately the priority, not compliance.

  • Success in Gaining Compliance

    Certain communication styles can result in reasonable people becoming resistant and unreasonable people escalating their behaviours. When employees have the confidence and skills to build rapport, communicate assertively and maintain self-control, the potential for safe and successful interactions greatly increases.
