Workplace Violence and Substance-Abuse Programmes
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Serious violence at work rarely comes out of nowhere. Before most attacks there were threats, harassment, a grievance that grew, a worried colleague who said nothing, or a partner who kept turning up at the gate. Alcohol and drugs add to the danger, on the gate and on the job. A manager cannot predict every attack, but can build a programme that notices warning signs, takes them seriously and acts early, while treating people fairly and protecting their privacy.
Focus: a clear policy, a small team with authority, a calm assessment of every threat, early and proportionate action, support for victims, and fair, private handling of alcohol and drug problems.
