Next Step for All Injuries:

  • Public Safety must be summoned to all injuries! Call 415.703.9512. Upon arrival, Public Safety will:
  • Assess and support the situation and injured individual
  • Examine and photograph the injury site
  • Photograph the injury
  • Complete an incident report and route the report to the appropriate department:
      • Students: CCA Cares form is routed to Student Affairs
      • Faculty, staff, or workstudy student: a copy of the report is routed to Human Resources
  • Injured individual will be asked to complete an Injury Accident Report, when appropriate, and submit to Human Resources
  • All work-related injuries or illness must be reported to Human Resources at hr@cca.edu or (415) 703-9550 option #3, and may be covered by Workers’ Compensation. Workers’ Compensation insurance provides coverage for medical, surgical, and hospital services necessary for treatment of staff members who suffer work-related injuries or disabilities. CCA provides medical treatment for work-related injuries through a medical provider network. HR or Public Safety can provide information on approved medical facilities.
