We’re not convinced a “no touching rule” at work is necessary, useful, practical or even desirable but businesses do need to ensure they are clear about what is and is not acceptable behaviour, and to have considered what the consequences of behaving inappropriately will be.
We don’t believe that there can be one rule that fits all situations, human beings, behaviour & relationships are, after all, more complex than that, but employers have a responsibility to create a workplace environment where everyone is free from harassment or unacceptable behaviour.
