Safety Reference Guides

Prevention is the key to ensuring safety on campus at all times. Review and download or print the following PDF documents for critical life, health, and safety information or visit the relevant websites for relevant information. Feel free to distribute these documents to your department and colleagues.

Note that these one-pager guides are not replacements for emergency training and are not intended to be comprehensive. Instead, treat these guides as sources of baseline education and awareness on most issues that could happen at SJSU.

Each section has links to more comprehensive information hosted by the relevant unit on campus or by county, state or federal emergency management and response agencies.
