You can call about any behavior you find upsetting, disruptive, or potentially violent. This includes:
- sexual harassment or unwelcome sexual advances
- concerns about yourself or a colleague whom you think may be considering harm to self or others
- unwelcome verbal or physical conduct that creates a work environment that is hostile, intimidating, or offensive
- disruptive or concerning behavior
- worries about domestic violence spilling over into the workplace
- threatening behavior or threatening statements, such as, “someone will pay for that” or “that’s what causes people to bring in guns or go postal. “
In instances where violence is imminent, first:
- Secure your personal safety and that of others
- Call the NIH or local police by calling 911 (or dial 9, then 911 if you are off campus).
