Bleed Control Cabinets, Points & Stations

ProtectUK and NACTSO recommend that supplies to treat trauma “should be mounted on a wall or in a cabinet so it is visible and easy to access by anyone”. Consideration should also be given to how accessible the kit would be for a casualty who might require the kit to treat themselves, on a leg injury, for example. Workplaces or sites with any hazards such as machinery, sharp or moving objects which have potential to cause critical injuries such as major bleeding must have 'adequate and appropriate’ first aid for any risks present.

Having an appropriate number of points, stations or cabinet containing bleed control and trauma kits ready to distribute is an elegant solution to providing appropriate lifesaving supplies in a format that is both practical for its intended use and demonstrates a professional commitment to keeping everyone on the premises safe.
