For life threatening emergencies: call 911 or 805-756-2281 for the University Police Department.
If your injury is severe and requires immediate medical attention, call 911. This overrides the triage steps below.
If you experience a work-related injury or illness, please notify your supervisor as soon as the incident occurs. Then, with assistance from your supervisor, contact the Work Injury Nurse Triage line at 1-866-658-7064. A Hudson representative will answer the call in order to gather initial documentation, then will triage the case to a registered nurse. The nurse will then determine if medical treatment is required, and next steps will be based on this recommendation.
If you become ill or are injured because of your job, you may be entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits. This coverage includes the cost of all reasonable medical care and/or hospital bills, wage compensation benefits if you are temporarily disabled, and permanent disability benefits if applicable.
For employees working at the Solano Campus in Vallejo, please contact the Work Injury Nurse Triage line at 1-866-658-7064.

In the event of a medical emergency, call 911 from any phone to contact Cal Poly Police. Tell the dispatcher where you are and answer any other questions they may have. The campus police dispatcher will send the appropriate personnel. Examples of medical emergencies are excessive bleeding, broken bones, loss of consciousness, or severe chest pains. When in doubt about the severity of a medical emergency, always dial 911 from any phone to contact the police.
Employees in these situations often minimize the extent of their injury or try to refuse treatment. Be firm in requiring a medical evaluation. Do not allow employees in these situations to leave campus until University Police have responded. Please wait to complete any injury/illness reporting forms until after the emergency has been resolved.
Student health care is covered by the Student Health Center with the following exceptions: student workers or students working on a work-study program. Student interns should report the injury/illness and seek medical treatment. Student intern injuries/illnesses are managed pursuant to the work agreements and can take time to review. These students should immediately report the injury/illness to their instructor and seek medical treatment.
If an injury or illness requires only First Aid treatment, such as removing a splinter or the treatment of minor cuts and abrasions, utilize the First Aid kit located in the department. The University's Student Health Center does NOT provide First Aid or medical treatment to faculty, staff, or student employees who sustain a work-related injury/illness.
If an injury or illness requires medical treatment beyond First Aid, and the employee is unable to drive, please contact a staff member to arrange transportation to an urgent care facility.
