We all take precautions in order to prevent an unwanted situation from arising. Some people may argue that it's a “siege” mentality, and we shouldn't have to live this way but really it's not; it's a prevention mentality, just like fire safety. Consider the steps that
we take to prevent a fire:
• Checking that the heater is off before going to bed.
• Checking that the stove is off before leaving the house.
But whose life is constantly dominated by the fear of fire? Nobody's. The above measures are just precautions we take to minimise the risk of tragedy. The same can apply to your personal safety, where it becomes a habit to either do or not do certain things. The four basic components of personal safety are:
• Responsibility - accepting personal responsibility for your care.
• Preparation - having a coping plan or strategy in case of emergency.
• Awareness - being aware of your surroundings and potentially dangerous environments.
• Precautions - practising safe and sensible precautions.
Applying these components can reduce the risk of attack. The number of preventative measures you take depends on the level of risk you are prepared to accept. But remember, it is far better to avoid a situation than deal with it once it arises. Keeping safe at home
To many people, home conjures up pictures of safety and security. In reality, large numbers of attacks occur in the home. Partly because many attackers are known to victims (domestic violence for example) and partly because not enough precautions are taken to keep intruders out. To secure your house properly, employ the following guidelines:
• Ensure that all windows and doors are locked when you leave your house.
• Install deadlocks on all doors and windows (leave a key in a door and window at night in case of fire).
• Fit a safety chain and peephole on the front door.
• Install good exterior lighting.
• Use light and sound timers for extra security at night.
• Do not leave ladders or tools lying about at night.
When you are at home
To discourage intruders, ensure you do the following:
• Keep the doors and windows locked when you are at home at night.
• If you are coming home late at night, leave an exterior light on • Have your keys handy before approaching the door when you return home, especially after dark.
• Avoid using the back door after dark. Living alone
If you live on your own, it’s a very good idea to take precautions.
Here are some ways you can protect yourself:
• Put only your initials (no name) on your letter box. Do the same if you are listed in the phone book.
• Call out “I’ll get it” before answering the door to an unknown caller.
• Carry personal safety devices whenever possible, for example, an air horn, a small but solid torch, or even a pen. There’s someone at the door
Here’s some guidelines for answering your door:
• Always ask who it is before you open the door.
• Unless you know who it is, don’t open the back door to callers - send them to the front door.
• Before opening the door:
– Turn on the outside light.
– Look through the peephole or side window.
– Put the chain on firmly and stand back a little.
• Once the door is open:
– Ask the caller for identification and then check it |
