Stop the Bleed Program at UC Riverside

The Stop the Bleed Program at the University of California, Riverside, is part of a California legislative initiative requiring trauma kits in newly constructed buildings and existing structures undergoing major renovations. This mandate applies to assembly buildings with a capacity of 300 or more, and business or educational facilities with a capacity of 200 or more, where the total value of alterations within a calendar year is $100,000 or more. Overseen by Occupational Health, the program provides a comprehensive framework to guide campus community members in implementing and participating in the initiative. It includes standardized guidelines for application, training, and kit placement, ensuring compliance with California Health and Safety Code regulations and adherence to manufacturer standards for proper use and maintenance.

Stop the Bleed Training

Departments interested in acquiring trauma kits must also provide training. A detailed cost breakdown is available. The EH&S department has partnered with CPR1, the current vendor for the AED program, to offer training courses for fees to be paid by interested departments.
Partnerships: The EH&S department has established partnerships with CPR1 and Highlander EMS.

CPR1: CPR1 offers different price points depending on the expected group size. It is important to ensure that all registered participants attend the training session, as charges will apply based on the group class, regardless of attendance. This training requires a time commitment, and the department will be responsible for the associated costs. For group classes with more than 15 participants, one Stop the Bleed Kit will be provided.
