Course Description:
Workplace environments can change in an instant, making personal safety and situational awareness critical skills for all frontline professionals. This concise, 1-hour interactive course equips you with the cognitive and practical tools to recognize potential hazards, stay calm under pressure, and safely navigate high-risk encounters.
Drawing on established public safety and emergency management principles, this training breaks down situational awareness into three core steps: the continuous perception of your environment, the comprehension of what those elements mean, and the projection or anticipation of what might happen next. Learners will explore the continuous "assess-plan-act" loop to evaluate and safely navigate dynamic, rapidly evolving situations.
Because high-stress emergencies trigger a natural "fight or flight" response, this course also teaches you how to manage the physiological and cognitive impacts of survival stress, including tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, and the loss of fine motor skills. Finally, you will learn to implement effective physical safety strategies. This includes estimating the physical distance of a subject relative to the time required to react so you can maintain a safe reactionary gap, distinguishing between simply hiding from view (concealment) and finding physical protection (cover), and using professional communication to de-escalate conflicts before they turn physical.
