Trauma & Severe Bleeds

Martyn’s Law and First Aid Preparedness

With the upcoming implementation of Martyn’s Law—a legislation aimed at improving public safety through better preparedness against terrorist threats—businesses and public venues will be expected to take proactive steps in planning for potential mass casualty incidents.

A Critical Injury Bleed Control Kit plays a vital role in fulfilling these responsibilities. Designed for use in high-stress, emergency scenarios such as terror attacks, violent assaults, or serious accidents, the kit equips staff with the essential tools to provide immediate, potentially life-saving care before emergency services arrive.

By having a bleed control kit on site, your venue demonstrates a clear commitment to safety and compliance. It ensures you are prepared to treat individuals suffering from catastrophic injuries, including severe bleeding—one of the most common and preventable causes of death in such incidents.

Beyond regulatory compliance, these kits provide staff with confidence and peace of mind, knowing they have the means to respond effectively in a crisis. They can also help reduce the potential human and reputational impact of a mass casualty event on your organisation.

Why Provide a Critical Injury Bleed Control Kit?

In the event of a life-threatening injury, particularly one involving severe bleeding, every second counts. A critical injury kit is specifically designed to equip first responders and bystanders with the tools needed to manage catastrophic blood loss before emergency services arrive.

Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma situations. kits include advanced medical supplies such as a tourniquet to restrict blood flow from a limb and haemostatic dressings that accelerate clotting at the wound site. These items are proven to significantly increase a casualty’s chances of survival by controlling bleeding quickly and effectively.

Whether in a workplace, public venue, or remote location, having a Critical Injury Kit on hand can make the difference between life and death.
