Many industries provide services to their clients in the client’s own home. Unfortunately this can expose staff to serious risks, particularly when only one staff member is conducting the visit.
Physical attacks or sexual assaults to people or damage to equipment are obviously dangerous but serious verbal abuse or threats can also damage your employees’ health through anxiety or stress.
Whether the aggressor is influenced by mental illness, disability, alcohol and/or drug abuse, or the assault is premeditated or opportunistic, organisations have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment for their staff while conducting home visiting.
We provide specialist advice, support and training to help organisations in a wide range of sectors including:
- Aged care
- Community services
- Corporate
- Disability
- Domestic services
- Education
- Government
- Health
- Mining
- Non-government
- Not for profit
- Oil and gas
- Real estate
- Welfare
