Only if you are comfortable doing so, inform the offending individual that his/her behavior is unwelcome, offensive, or inappropriate.  They may not realize their actions.  Document the incident including time, place, and any witnesses.  If their actions continue, report it to your supervisor.

Employees should immediately report incidents to their supervisor or to the company EEO Officer Danielle Archuleta.  All complaints will be investigated.  When employees are found to have engaged in the above conduct, management will take action that it believes is appropriate based on findings.

Employees should directly contact law enforcement, security, and/or emergency services if they believe there is an imminent threat to the safety and health of themselves or their coworkers.

The Colorado Department of Transportation also instituted a workplace violence policy. Please refer to the Standard Specification for Road and Bridge Construction subsection 101.95 and 108.07.
