Info

CODE BLACK PREVENTION • Keep eyes open for strangers. • Identify those persons who are known to be violent. • Be alert to recognize precursors of violence and assess the situation. • Attempt to defuse or call Security if concerned. • In the Emergency Care Centre, loiterers are discouraged by establishing whether or not they are attending as patients and requesting that they leave if they have no reason for their presence. • Adhere to existing simple security precautions, eg, lock doors. DEFUSING Remain calm, cautious, courteous and consistent. Employing interpersonal skills as appropriate may often defuse the situation: • Be non-confrontational initially. • Try to find out why the person is upset/angry. • Could someone else communicate more readily? • Being assertive (not aggressive) may be more appropriate. 27/09/00 Page 5 of 10
