Domestic Violence, Workplace Violence, and Stalking

Safety Tips at Work

• If you are a victim of domestic violence and/or a stalking victim you should contact your local police
  precinct. If you have obtained an order of protection against your spouse you should notify the Office of
  Security & Public Safety. You can also take the following precautions while at work:
• Provide Security with a copy of an order of protection and picture of the abuser.
• Keep a copy of the order of protection with you at all times.
• Tell your supervisor or a co-worker about the situation and ask that person to call 911 and Security in an emergency.
• Have a back-up person if your primary contact is not available.
• Request that your desk be placed in a safe location.
• If possible, have someone screen your calls.
• Meet with Security so you can plan an escape route.
• Working with your supervisor and Security, find a safe room with a phone to use in an emergency.
