Chapter 9
Staff learn to manage situations involving strikes and to protect themselves through the use of avoidance, redirection, and shielding. Staff learn to protect themselves from situations involving choking/strangulation. Staff are taught to manage situations involving weapons of opportunity, which are found objects that can be jabbed, swung, thrown or used to choke/strangle.
Staff learn specialised restrictive skills that build on skills from the Technical course, including “loose” and “secure” holds; two-person seated hold; and, holding and positioning for IM injections. Lastly, staff learn skills to lift and carry a person in a standing position away from danger and towards safety or to prepare for the application of mechanical restraints.

Staff learn protective movement, position and redirection should they find themselves attacked while on the ground. If avoidance proves ineffective, staff may need to protect themselves by escaping chokes or strikes on the ground. Staff also learn skills for lifting a person from the ground to a standing position.
