I need help creating a list to all men and women in the office who have a problem with touching and other iinappropriate comments in the workplace. Such as the following:
1. No cat calls
2. No comments about body parts

"Any sexual comments, references, or actions directed at a specific person, or group of people can be classified and reported as sexual harassment."
That is something similar to what was written in my Employee Labour Relations text book. I don't have the book with me at the moment, but you get the basic idea. Another nice way to put it - If you wouldn't say it to your mother it is inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.

If you're trying to avoid offending people's sensibilities, you will want to suggest no swearing, and no discussion about religion/politics.
People should be discouraged from discussing their colleagues with each other, behind their colleagues' backs. State that negatvity against other members of staff will not be tolerated, and if anyone has a particular problem with someone else's behaviour or performance they should report it to their supervisor/manager rather than '*****' with colleagues.
Comments of a personal nature is more wide reaching than 'comments about body parts' ... I presume you're trying to avoid anyone saying "nice ***" or "nice boobs", but generally people should also be discouraged from saying "hey fatty" or "bad hair day?"

you need to be more professional in your approach and draft a list of the rights and responsibilities of the employees, for example
1) respect your workmates
2) tolerance of diversity is essential
3) no workplace bullying
4) no inappropriate or suggestive comments
good luck

If inappropriate touching is going on in the work place, they should be immediately fired. You should not have to explain to grown people how to behave in a business like setting.

What type or kind of company do you work with? Rules like that should have been ESTABLISHED years ago.

Go to HR, that's what they're there for.
