UCSF Police offer these tips for personal safety: • When you are going to be alone in a work space, let others know where you are and when you expect to be finished or return to the office. • Watch your surroundings, do not allow anyone to approach too closely and avoid being cornered by a stranger. • Always have an exit route in mind. Try not to let anyone get between you and the exit point.
