Workplace Violence Prevention Plan
In the event of an active workplace violence emergency dial 9-1-1
At Cabrillo College, we are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace, free from violence. In compliance with California’s Workplace Violence Prevention in General Industry Standard (Cal/OSHA Section 3343), our Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) aims to protect employees, customers, and visitors from harm. Workplace violence includes threats, harassment, intimidation, and physical attacks. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy and encourage employees to report any concerns confidentially and without fear of retaliation.
Our program includes regular risk assessments, mandatory training on recognizing warning signs and de-escalation techniques, and a structured response plan for incidents. Employees receive guidance on emergency procedures, law enforcement coordination, and access to support resources such as counseling services. Additionally, we have clear reporting procedures and an emergency action plan to ensure swift responses to threats.
A safe workplace is a shared responsibility. We encourage all employees to participate in safety initiatives, attend training, and report concerns promptly. For more information, contact Manager, COVID-19 Response & Compliance, Krista Kaschalk at krkascha@cabrillo.edu. Together, we can create a safer workplace for everyone.
