Threats and Violence

If you feel unsafe or threatened at your workplace, seek immediate help.

In Emergency Situations

  • For police, call 112.
  • For security guards, contact the security service Avarn larmcentral: 010-222 30 88. A security guard can, for example, ensure that unauthorised individuals vacate a room.

What To Do If Threatened

A threat can be directed against you as an employee or at the University. In either case, there are some important things to keep in mind:

Threats over the Phone

  • Write down what is said and try to stay calm.
  • If possible, have a colleague listen to what is being said.
  • Call 112 if the threat is urgent.
  • Inform your immediate manager, who is responsible for following up the issue in accordance with the emergency response plan.

Threats by Email or on Social Media

  • Call 112 if the threat is an emergency.
  • Save the email or take a screenshot of the comment or post.
  • Make a note of the date and time of the threat.
  • Inform your immediate manager, who is responsible for following up the issue in accordance with the emergency response plan.

Prevent Security Risks on University Premises

Do not allow strangers access when you enter the premises through doors that require a key/key card.
Register visitors in advance, after which you are responsible for them during their visit.
