Physical Intervention
Level 2 Award

Who is it for?

Physical intervention skills may be needed in some workplaces to manage challenging behavior safely. Depending on the risks faced in the job this can involve anything from avoidance and disengagement skills through to rescue, escorting and holding skills.

This new training module is intended to provide our candidates with a wider range of non-violent options for dealing with the most common scenarios involving physical contact in the workplace.
It does not offer a technique to cover every possible situation but provides a solid foundation in terms of knowledge and skills to further reduce risk to the customers and staff.

This course is designed for those working in the roles where the need for further development in line with Conflict Management training is required. The skills are designed to be non pain compliant and not reliant on size, strength or gender. It is now mandatory for new Door Supervisors, and will be mandatory for those with existing licenses and as a condition of renewal, it is also recommended for Security Guards, Stewards, and those employed within the Security Industry.

HABC are the awarding body for the certificate and this will be accepted by the SIA when you licence requires renewal. The course covers all aspects relating to workplace violence leading to use of force and Physical Intervention skills.
