Causes | Situational Awareness

In this micro-class you’ll learn that avoiding danger is always the first line of defence, so it’s important that you learn to identify what makes a situation potentially dangerous.

South Africa has one of the highest rates of gender-based crime in the world, so learning how to avoid being a target is critical.

This mini-class has been created in collaboration with Physical Security and Risk Management Specialist, Gareth Katzew.

Throughout the class there are quizzes to get you thinking, and real-life scenarios to explain concepts.

By the end of this micro-class you’ll be able to:

• Identify who or what constitutes a personal danger
• Explain actions you can take to avoid being a target for a criminal
• Discuss ways to increase your situational awareness
• Identify anomalies in your environment using the OODA Loop 
• Discuss ways to decrease your environmental signature
