Important Aspects of Training

Participants are engaged actively from the beginning of the course to understand the benefits of being prepared for an Armed Robbery in the workplace and daily life

Participants are engaged in the process of understanding their responsibilities under the Work Health and Safety Act to be aware of their obligations and preventing the opportunities for armed robberies

Participants are guided through a process of identifying risks and opportunities within the workplace which provide opportunities for robbery offences to occur.

Why is this course so important?

This course is focused on engaging staff to be aware of their responsibilities and obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act.  The numbers are kept to 20 persons per course as this is a WorkSafe NSW recommendation.  The aim of the course is not just about awareness. It is about preparing staff members to be skilled and mentally aware for an incident of armed robbery.

When an armed robbery occurs, one of the first organisations to visit your venue after the Police is WorkSafe NSW. They will look at your policies, procedures and records in regards to training and preparing staff for armed robbery. By limiting numbers in the workshop, facilitators can actively involve everyone throughout the duration of the course, ensuring that participants are responsive to the training.

This course is focused on upskilling staff to respond to an armed robbery to save lives and assist in reducing the liability of the organisation. This is done by ensuring that all participants are made aware of club policy, procedures and their responsibility to comply with these statements.
