Inform the employer of any bullying immediately. The employer has a legal duty to tackle bullying at the earliest opportunity.
Tell the person bullying you that you are unhappy with the person's actions or speech. Ask the person to stop bullying you. Your supervisor, local shop steward, elected safety representative or trade union can help if you are afraid to talk to the person bullying you, or if talking does not help. You may also seek help from the employer’s occupational health service or from the Occupational Safety and Health Authority.
