I often have to work in our server room with a colleague, doing things like racking new systems, replacing drives, diagnosing issues, etc. It's a super loud room with around 50 units going at once, so the door is soundproofed. We're supposed to keep the door closed when we're in the room to keep the noise down, but it's making me uncomfortable to be alone with her.
It's not that she's accused me of doing anything creepy yet, but it's just that if someone wanted to accuse me of attacking them, this would be the perfect setting to do so. There are no windows in the room and as far as I can tell from the damping, it'd be really hard to dispute she was yelling for help.
So far I've tried propping the door open without saying anything, which she's just shut and said "you know we're supposed to keep this closed right?", I've tried making up an excuse that it's too warm with the door closed, I've tried saying that I'm just more comfortable with the door open, but she keeps closing it.
How should I try to politely tell her I'm uncomfortable being alone with someone else in a closed-off room, in case of an accusation of assault?
