This happened to me once when I was teaching a class! (One of my students, who is female fortunately, pointed it out to me.) I had to tie my jacket around my waist so my dress was hidden and then go home after class to change!



It's quite likely your colleague is knowledgeable about periods. (Obviously, the vast majority of women would be, and in this day and age I expect that many men are knowledgeable, too.) I don't think there should be a huge issue.



If you're always having very heavy periods, you might want to check with your provider because it can be an indication of a health issue. If there's nothing wrong and/or it's just an occasional thing, you might like to try using adult incontinence briefs on your heavy days. I have done this before and I understand that I'm not the only one who does. They're actually very comfortable and there's no mess.
