De-escalation For Transport Workers
Why Conflict Resolution Training Is Important For Transport Workers
What Transport Workers Face
People running late for appointments,” said Mr Crutchfield, “people who have missed the bus, and they keep taking their frustrations out on me — the driver… They just don’t give a sh*t about the driver and they don’t give a sh*t about the other people in the bus.
Lawyers Perspective
Bus drivers face varying degrees of threat daily and are becoming more vulnerable to attack than ever before.
Mr Simmonds, a lawyer, annotated to this point. He said:
It’s a very sad indictment on our society… Our bus and taxi drivers are vulnerable and an attack could come at any time.
Training
It is critical for conflict resolution training to be given to transport workers — bus and taxi drivers to be precise — on resolving these conflicts they encounter with their passengers daily.
There’s bound to be an occurrence of aggression from passengers and hence, the importance of conflict resolution training for transport workers can never be overemphasized. These drivers should be educated on the causes of passengers’ aggression, as well as the remedies and resolution to protect them from the adverse traumatizing effect that comes with assault.
Conflict resolution training for transport workers should be organized to enlighten them on these causative factors and how to avoid them. They should be trained on how to behave correctly when travelling, recording of mileage so as to prevent dispute when it comes to payment of taxi fares, and speaking politely to passengers. This training will improve the overall driver-passenger relationship, thereby reducing the chances of passengers going all berserk.
