I have just had a member of staff (I will call him number 1) come and see me about an aggressive encounter with another member of staff (I will call him number 2) Number 1 was working in his work bay in a manufacturing workshop and number 2 went into number 1's bay. Number 1 asked number 2 want he wanted and number 2 went right up to number 1's face and said I don't like you and you say anything to me I'll "drop you" and then he
Number 1 was working in his work bay in a manufacturing workshop and number 2 went into number 1's bay. Number 1 asked number 2 want he wanted and number 2 went right up to number 1's face and said I don't like you and you say anything to me I'll "drop you" and then he said "i'll slap you".
Number 1 just reported this to me but expressly said that he doesn't want me to do anything about it. He just wanted to report it to me.
Number 1 believes it stems from a few weeks previously when number 2 came back from a sickness absence relating to shingles. He walked into number 1's bay and he said he asked number 2 "you're not contagious are you?". Number 2 said he wasn't and walked away. Number 2 hasn't spoken to number 1 since.
I explained that I cannot condone aggressive behaviour and that I don't like the idea of not being able to address the issue but he asked me not to.
Any suggestions on what I can do next - or should i just write up a file note and leave it?
