Bleed Control Kit

Why should you have a Bleed Control Kit? When it comes to workplace safety, most employers focus on standard first aid measures like CPR, bandages, and slings. But in some cases, a catastrophic bleeding event can occur, turning a regular day at work into a life-threatening situation within seconds. To prepare for such emergencies, it’s essential that workplaces consider including a Bleed Control Kit as part of their first aid supplies. These specialized kits are designed to stop life-threatening bleeding and can be crucial in an emergency where minutes count.

If you’re looking to enhance your workplace’s first aid setup, here’s why Bleed Control kits are a must-have in the UK.

Catastrophic bleeding refers to severe, life-threatening blood loss, often from an arterial source. When an injury results in this type of haemorrhage, a person can lose a significant amount of blood in minutes, which could quickly lead to shock or even death if not promptly treated. While we often think of these injuries in high-risk settings like construction sites or factories, they can happen anywhere—including offices, retail spaces, or even on the commute to and from work.

Common workplace incidents that can cause catastrophic bleeding include:

• Falls from height (common in construction or warehousing)
• Cuts from machinery (relevant in manufacturing and industrial sites)
• Vehicle accidents (especially on worksites or for delivery drivers)
• Sharp object injuries (potential in office or retail environments)

A Bleed Control kit can address these risks and serve as a first line of defence before emergency medical services arrive. Our Bleed Control Kits are equipped with the most-trusted brands in the world and helping to keep you prepared for the unexpected emergency
