Every Second Counts

When serious injury happens, having the right equipment ready can make all the difference.

In a serious injury situation, there’s no time to waste.

Whether it’s a high-risk workplace, public venue, transport hub or other busy environment, severe bleeding and traumatic injuries can happen with little or no warning. When they do, having the right trauma first aid equipment immediately available can help trained responders take action while emergency services are on their way.

Because every second counts.

 

The right kit for the right environment

Not every environment faces the same risks, which is why having the right equipment for your surroundings is so important.

High-risk workplaces

Construction sites, factories, forestry and tree surgery, agricultural workplaces, saw mills and company vehicles can all present an increased risk of serious injury.

For these environments, a Critical Injury Kit provides specialist equipment to help trained responders manage life-threatening bleeding and trauma until emergency services arrive.

Being prepared means considering the injuries that could occur and ensuring the appropriate equipment is accessible when it is needed most.

Public sites, venues and transport

Concert venues, sports grounds and public transport hubs can accommodate large numbers of people, making rapid access to emergency equipment particularly important.

PAcT Kits (Public Access Trauma Kits) are designed for public environments, providing essential equipment to help respond to serious bleeding and traumatic injuries.

When a casualty needs urgent help, equipment that is easy to access and ready to use can help responders act quickly.

 

Control catastrophic bleeding quickly

Severe bleeding can become life-threatening rapidly. Bleed control kits are designed to help responders manage catastrophic bleeding quickly and effectively in high-pressure situations.

Key benefits include:

• Helping control severe bleeding quickly
• Suitable for high-risk environments
• Supporting first responders
• Easy access when needed
• Ready to use when every second counts

Having a bleed control kit available means vital equipment is close at hand rather than having to be located or sourced after an incident has occurred.

 

Protect against further heat loss

Serious trauma can also leave a casualty vulnerable to hypothermia and further heat loss.

The IGLOO™ Hypothermia Blanket range provides thermal protection in emergency and pre-hospital situations, helping protect casualties from further heat loss.

The range offers:

• Effective thermal protection
• Rapid deployment
• Compact, easy-to-store designs
• Latex-free materials
• Options suitable for a range of emergency situations

 

Preparation starts before an emergency

You can’t predict when a serious injury will happen, but you can prepare for one.

Take a look at your environment and consider:

What serious injuries could occur?

Who could be affected?

Where is the nearest emergency equipment?

Can trained responders access it quickly?

Do you have the right equipment for the risks you face?

Having the right trauma first aid equipment available, accessible and ready to use can help you respond with greater confidence when an emergency occurs.

 

Every second counts

When serious bleeding or trauma occurs, every second matters.

From Critical Injury Kits for high-risk workplaces to PAcT Kits for public sites, venues and transport environments, choosing the right equipment for your environment is an important part of emergency preparedness.

Add an IGLOO™ Hypothermia Blanket to your emergency response provision and ensure you are equipped to help protect casualties from further heat loss.

Don’t wait for an emergency to find out you’re not prepared.

Act now. Save a life.

Make sure you have the right equipment, in the right place, before every second counts.
