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!
