Security and risk reduction for personal safety

Security and personal safety is often an area that we tend to neglect due to demands being made of us in our various roles.  I think that if we were able to visualize ourselves as we are seen by others then we may be able to adapt our behaviour and become safer and more secure.  We do not need to be trained in this and we do not need a security officer to escort us through our lives we just need to be more vigilant.  We need to recognise behaviour's which make us vulnerable.


When we use a mobile phone in a public area for instance, we are in effect putting perhaps £150 - £200 worth of technology to our ear, chattering away and not paying very much attention to what is going on around us, think about it next time you make a call in a public area, yes there are CCTV cameras about and on the off chance that you are being recorded evidence may be available should you be attacked and your mobile stolen.   That doesn't mean that the thief will be identified, convicted and sentenced appropriately!  So, if you have to make a call or one is so urgent that you have to receive it whilst in a public area, STOP! ensure you are against a wall and that you remain vigilant throughout the call, better still use handsfree kit and by standing still you minimise the risk of collisions with other pedestrians and vehicles that use pavements!
