How often in the course of your work do you feel intimidated?

Have you ever been in a situation at work where you felt threatened?

Have you ever felt afraid about the possibility of being attacked when travelling to and from work?

People often have a ‘it won’t happen to me’ attitude. So do the victims of crime. Nobody asks to be attacked or assaulted; no-one is immune from the risk.

Aggression and violence faced by staff is sadly common place in both the public and private sector organisations with increasing numbers of incidents of workrelated violence reported. Incidents vary from verbal abuse to actual physical harm. Even the threat of violence can significantly undermine staff morale and motivation, contributing to increased stress-related illness and turnover of staff. In some cases, it can end in costly and unnecessary legal proceedings.

The primary responsibility for safety at work rests with the employer.
(Health and Safety at Work Act 1974)

Furthermore, employers have an explicit duty to carry out appropriate risk assessments and followup with appropriate preventative measures such as information and appropriate training for employees.
(Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999)
