Injury Response Procedure

At Cal Poly Pomona, the safety and well-being of our campus community are our top priorities. Our Injury Response Procedures provide a clear and effective framework for managing injuries that may arise on campus. This comprehensive plan details the necessary steps to ensure a prompt and coordinated response from trained personnel. By promoting a proactive approach to injury management, we strive to minimize risks, create a safe learning environment, and equip all community members with the knowledge and preparedness to respond effectively in emergencies.
