Training: Safety and Security Teams
Overview

Introduction to Safety and Security Training

Safety and security officers are often the first line of response in high-stakes environments, from busy nightlife venues to corporate buildings and public services. While SIA training provides a basic foundation for licensing, it is only the beginning. Real-world situations demand far more - team cohesion, confident decision-making, and the ability to de-escalate conflict quickly and professionally. At Everyday Self Defence (ESD), we provide enhanced training that goes beyond compliance, helping security teams operate effectively under pressure, support each other in dynamic situations, and uphold the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

Specific Challenges in the Safety and Security Sectors
Aggression from the Public

Dealing with individuals who may become hostile or confrontational—often while being filmed, adding pressure to respond with professionalism and restraint.

Team Dynamics in High-Pressure Situations

Working cohesively during fast-moving incidents or in environments where tensions escalate quickly.

Lone Working Risks

Staying safe while managing responsibilities alone, such as during patrols or late-night shifts.

Balancing Authority with Professionalism
