#ZeroResponder Life-threatening Bleed Control

The shocking terrorist attack at Manchester Arena on 22nd May 2017 led to an independent inquiry to look closely at the events that led to 23 deaths and 1017 injuries, many amongst children.

To prevent and mitigate injuries and loss of life in any future attack, we will soon see an enforceable ‘Protect Duty’ come into effect for many public accessible venues – as a result of ‘Martyn’s Law’, a campaign in memory of Martyn Hett who tragically died that day.

The Salvas #ZeroResponder life-threatening bleed control workshop forms part of the RunHideSurvive ™ counter-terrorism training programme, which was commended in the 2018 Counter Terror Business Awards.

It has also been specifically developed in line with Martyn’s Law – Protect Duty which is due to become UK law in 2023.

The content of the course provides training relevant to the types of injuries likely to occur in a terrorist attack as well as those types of traumatic injuries seen in violent attacks and accidents.

Shockingly, 40% of people suffering catastrophic blood loss will die. A life-threatening bleed can be caused by stab wounds, gunshot wounds, or any limbs severed in an accident.

A victim can bleed out in 3-5 minutes unless someone is on hand who knows how to stop and control the bleeding.

This training is ideal for people working in locations such as:

  • Licensed retail – pubs & clubs
  • Hotels and restaurants
  • Airport and transport hubs
  • Schools, colleges and universities
  • Shopping centres
  • Sports centres and stadia
  • Community centres
  • Places of worship

The training is also recommended for those in high-risk jobs where injuries involving life-threatening bleeding are more likely to happen:

  • Security and facilities management
  • Enforcement
  • Outreach workers
  • Construction and road maintenance
