for Violence in the Workplace

Awareness: The First Safety Principle of the AVADE® Training Programs

Have you ever said, "I would have done that differently," or "I shouldn’t have done that"—but realized you just weren’t aware at the time? Most of us have. When it comes to workplace violence prevention, and life in general, awareness is critical.



Increasing your awareness starts with understanding what awareness truly is, as well as recognizing the different levels of awareness.



Awareness is the mental state or ability to perceive, feel, or be conscious of people, emotions, conditions, events, objects, and patterns around you.

Levels of Awareness:

Self-Awareness

This conscious awareness allows you to think, reason, choose, evaluate options, make decisions, and exercise your free will.

Emotional Awareness

Your ability to recognize and feel the emotions and feelings of others, as well as your own, is your emotional awareness. 

Situational Awareness

This means being aware of what is happening around you. It is the understanding of how information, incidents, and your own actions will affect your goals and objectives.

360’ Degree View Awareness

Using a 360’ view increases your conscious awareness of the environment and the people in your environment.

Unconscious Awareness

Knowing that habits reside in this part of our awareness gives you the opportunity to program your automatic responses by using mental movie techniques to create personal safety habits.

Higher Awareness

This state of awareness is the highest, as it encompasses all levels of awareness.
