Retail
Shop
workers have been injured, some very seriously, in what have started as
seemingly innocuous
incidents. Retail workers are particularly vulnerable due to the way
they interface with the General Public.
|
|
 |
Transport Industry
From
Minicab & Taxi Drivers to Delivery Drivers, from Bus Coach & Train staff
to Truck &
Van Drivers, all have been involved in violent incidents varying from minor
incidents to Road
Rage, Assault and Robbery.

Professional Services
Solicitors and Barristers deal with many aspects of the Law; Criminal, Family, Neighbour
Disputes, Business Partnership Breakup and Divorce. Due to the nature
of the work, these can result in violence,
both between the parties and, as is sometimes the case, against the lawyer
too!
|
|

|
Service Industry
Receptionists can be particularly vulnerable due to the constant interface
with the public. Training can assist in the identification and
defusing of potentially violent situations. Anyone dealing with the
General Public may be at risk.
|
|

|
Education
Both
State and Private schools have suffered abusive and violent behaviour. One
third of all teachers in the UK have faced physical aggression from pupils,
a survey for the Association of Teachers and Lecturers suggests. Verbal
insults and threats had been experienced by 61% of teachers and 34% had been
subjected to physical aggression.
