It is important to act calmly but firmly when confronted with a violent coworker. It is best to keep away from the vicinity, stay indoors if possible. You should also never Physically or Verbally confront them and try To Walk Away if you see the violent behaviour commencing. If that fails, then inform somebody in Authority about it - preferably the HR department or superintendent.
