REALTOR® Safety
Due to frequent contact with strangers in various public and private locations, REALTORS® face more on-the-job risks than many other business professionals. GAR’s goal is to provide members with access to updated safety information, including details of criminal activity in and around Georgia.
Designed by Agents, for Agents
The Safety Manual and forms below were designed by agents for agents, with thanks to the Washington REALTORS® for sharing some of this information. The purpose of these forms is to:
- Deter assaults by identifying the people you are working with
- Keep emergency information on hand for everyone in the office
- Know where an agent was going and where to send help if a crime occurs
