WETHERBY, England, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

British bite resistant clothing producer BitePRO [https://www.bite-pro.com/]

have reported record sales, as violence against teachers continues to be a

regular occurrence in schools around the world.

Wherever consistent statistics exist, these indicate an increase in physical

attacks on teachers by students.

The American National Center for Education Statistics 2019 report estimates

962,300 violent incidents.

Online publication 'Schools Week' reported that assaults on school premises in

the UK have soared 72% in the four years up to 2019.

In October 2019 an Australian public-school worker was repeatedly bitten by one

of her students. She stated: "I was bitten on the arms; I was bitten on the

stomach and I was bitten on the leg. That was day one."

BitePRO Senior Consultant Rachel Riding states: "As part of our own recent

international survey [https://www.bite-pro.com/blog/post/bitepro-survey-confirms-many-workers-are-risk-being-bitten ], 95% of participants confirmed they had experience of dealing

with biting, scratching or pinching behaviour in the workplace, and 89% had

personally such type of injury as part of their role."

BitePRO CEO Robert Kaiser comments: "Those charged with the health and safety

of education professionals have a legal duty, through the risk assessment

processes, to examine workplace hazards, identify those at risk and take

measures to control those risks."

"We know a lot about the phenomenon of school violence and the subsequent

injuries teachers suffer from. We also understand that comfortable protective

clothing, preventing human bites or other injuries is an effective way of

mitigating that risk."

Several other reports have concluded that too many teachers have had their

careers ended prematurely and their lives ruined as a result of violent

incidents at work causing significant long-term physical and psychological

injuries, including stress, anxiety and depression.

British firm BitePRO claim that 83% of their survey participants confirmed the

number of injuries had been reduced since wearing bite resistant clothing

education professionals. Please visit the company's online shop:
