SPECIALIST EXPERTISE: VIOLENCE, AGGRESSION & PSYCHOSOCIAL RISK
Few workplaces face the same combination of physical danger, unpredictable behaviour, psychological demands and operational constraints as custodial and security-sensitive environments. Lassess brings specialist occupational health and safety experience in these settings, helping organisations manage violence and aggression, staff exposure to traumatic events, lone working, fatigue and other psychosocial hazards. We translate complex risks into practical controls that protect people and work alongside existing security procedures.
Our Approach
We develop practical, proportionate and workplace-specific solutions. Our security-environment services focus on the occupational health and safety risks of custodial operations, violence, staff safety and secure facilities; they do not imply the provision of guarding or security system installation services.
