One of the most overlooked areas for personal safety information for women is in the workplace. Workplace threats can be internal, external, or both. If a threatening aggression does occur, using assertive behavior will relay the fact that you will not be a victim. Make a scene, yell, and remove yourself from the area.
When arriving at your workplace, be aware of your surroundings as you enter the building, hallways, and office areas.
When using an elevator, don't get in the elevator if you feel uncomfortable about the occupants getting on. Always position yourself closest to the controls. If someone does get on with you and you feel any concern, press the next floor button and get off.
If your jobs involves meeting new contacts outside the workplace, make sure the meeting place is in a very public location and that coworkers know who you are meeting and where. And prevent this new contact from escorting you back to your car or to your hotel room.
If your job requires you to work late at times, inform the company security and let family or friends know when you plan on leaving. While other workers are still there, make sure essential doors are locked and that no one is hiding in any storage rooms or restrooms. After you are by yourself and feel someone is lurking inside or outside, call security or the police.
