High Risk Safety Assessment
Keeping residents and staff safe
High Risk Safety Assessment
Our High Safety Risk Assessment is a comprehensive, trauma-informed review of refuges, crisis accommodation, and other high-risk sites. We identify vulnerabilities, prioritise fixes, and support you to implement upgrades so residents, visitors, and staff are protected from both physical and technology-facilitated threats.
​
We work alongside you to create a clear, property risk and safety report with tailored, practical recommendations to reduce risk and strengthen safety.

​Why a High Risk Safety Assessment is important
A Technology Safe High Risk Safety Assessment identifies hidden vulnerabilities and turns them into clear, practical steps that make people safer. By combining counter-surveillance awareness with physical security best practice, it reduces opportunities for stalking, harassment, and intrusion so residents, staff, and visitors can feel secure.
Hidden Risks
Our assessment uncovers vulnerabilities most people miss weak doors/locks, blind spots in lighting/CCTV, insecure windows, poor sightlines, and disclosure risks (address, routines, social media). Detecting these early prevents stalking, intimidation, and break-ins.
Prevent Escalation
By tightening entry points, removing concealment spots, and adding duress options, an assessment reduces opportunities for unwanted contact and stops digital/physical monitoring from escalating
into in-person harm. Improves Immediate Safety
Stronger Access Control
Clear zoning (public/staff/residential), controlled entrances, visitor management, and designated safe rooms create protective layers. Residents and staff gain defined refuge points, better escape routes, and faster response options.
Digital Security
Modern risks are hybrid. We review Wi-Fi, smart locks/doorbells/cameras, account access, and device settings alongside locks, alarms, and CCTV, closing gaps that perpetrators exploit across both the physical and digital environment.
Duty of Care
Assessments document controls against safeguarding and WHS/OHS standards, support insurance and landlord requirements, and show a clear duty of care for residents, staff, and visitors, useful for audits and incident reviews.
Equipment
Technology Safe use industry leading equipment and recognised brands.
