Work Place Self-Defense Training Academy

Crime in the workplace is an unfortunately common occurrence. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, almost 2 million nonfatal workplace violence incidents occurred in the U.S. in 2017 alone. This is an alarming statistic that shows a troubling trend of increasing workplace violence over the last 10 years. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that workplace violence-related injuries have increased by over 20% since 2008. This trend is particularly concerning given that workplace violence includes physical and verbal attacks of various kinds, including muggings, physical assaults, sexual assaults, threats, and harassment. 

The increasing numbers of workplace violence incidents signals a need for better training and preparedness when it comes to self-defense in the workplace. Self-defense training helps employees better understand how to protect themselves in the event of a violent encounter. Training can include learning how to deescalate a situation, how to recognize and avoid dangerous situations, as well as tactics for physical self-defense.

 Employers can also take proactive steps to reduce the chances of violence in the workplace by implementing policies and procedures that encourage a safe and secure environment. This can include measures like providing training on workplace safety, ensuring that security cameras are installed, and proactively addressing any potential sources of conflict. 

Ultimately, it is important for both employers and employees to be aware of the prevalence of workplace violence and to take steps to reduce the potential for violence. Self-defense training can help keep both employees and workplaces safe and secure, ensuring that everyone feels safe and secure in the workplace.
