DEALING WITH WORKPLACE THREATS:

•    Save any threatening emails or voicemail messages. You can use these to take legal action in the future, if you choose to. If you already have a restraining order, the messages can serve as evidence in court that the order was violated.
•    Park close to the entrance of your building, and talk with security, the police, or a manager if you fear an assault at work.
•    Have your calls screened, transfer harassing calls to security, or remove your full name and private number from automated phone directories.
•    Improve Security; Camera surveillance, 2 way glass, safety shields / barriers, emergency exits and procedures.
•    Obtain a restraining order and make sure that it is current and on hand at all times. Include the workplace on the order. A copy should be provided to the police, the employee's supervisor, Human Resources, the reception area, the Legal department, and Security.
•    Provide pictures of perpetrator/s to reception areas and/or Security.
•    Identify an emergency contact person should the employer be unable to contact you.
•    Ask Security to escort you to and from your car or public transportation.
•    Review work hours/ work locations.
•    Review the safety of your childcare arrangements, whether it is on-site childcare at the company or off-site elsewhere. If you have a restraining order, it can usually be extended to the childcare center.

Report and call Management or Police as soon as possible.
