Safety tips:

Here are some examples of extra things that you can do to protect yourself:

Always be aware of your surroundings.
Learn to trust your intuition. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, leave.

If you are working on your own after hours, be sure that someone knows where you are, or if in residence, make sure your doors and windows are locked.

Keep a record of obscene phone calls or harassing behaviour, and report it to Security Services Immediately. Do not delete harassing e-mails.

Take advantage of goSAFE to get you where you need to be safely

Report homophobic or racist behaviour, as well as any suspicious activity, crimes in progress and property damage to Security Services immediately.

Consider enrolling in a self defense class

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A ROBBERY

Remain calm and obey the robbers commands

Hand over anything they ask for your life is worth more than whatever you are carrying.
Take note of weapons and consider all firearms to be loaded

Do not try to set off any alarms, make any sudden moves, or otherwise anger the robber. Wait until they have left the area to call for help.

As soon as you can, call police, and then Security Services.

Wait to speak to a police officer or security personnel about the incident, and try to write down as much as you can recall about it.

If the robber touched anything, it may be useful for the investigation, so avoid touching or moving anything until you have informed police.
