Employee Safety

Illustration of a woman with blonde hair in a bun wearing a read jack and black glasses

Employees working in the field face some unique challenges because they typically do not work in pairs, though there are exceptions.

Employees travel to various locations and must be prepared to handle volatile or unpredictable situations. The best defense is awareness, training, and practicing personal safety until it becomes second nature.

Trust Your Instincts

If you assess a situation as dangerous, leave immediately, go to a safe area, and call emergency services.

You can also have a brief conversation from the porch or before you enter a home to gauge a client’s mood, mental, or emotional status. Keep your guard up for any signs of concern. If necessary, make an excuse and leave.
