Domestic Violence: Safe at Work
If you are experiencing domestic violence, take steps to help you stay safe at work. Consider the following:
- Keep emails or notes of any threats you receive while at work.
- Arrange an escort to and from your car.
- Ask to have your calls screened.
- If you have a protective order, make sure you keep a copy with you at all times, and give a copy to company security.
- Try to revise your working schedule.
- Know and understand workplace policies. Encourage your employer to adopt a policy on domestic violence and/or workplace violence if one does not exist currently.
- Make sure your employer has an emergency contact person for you.
- Discuss with your supervisor any other ways that could help you stay safe at work.
Remember that Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault
is not your fault!
