#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

Why Choose SALVAS Workplace Personal Safety, Conflict Management and Safer De-escalation Training Courses

SALVAS courses have benefitted a wide variety of workers, including bus revenue protection staff, community wardens, housing staff, education staff in schools and colleges, and health service providers, all of whom are subject to a range of workplace abuse and violence on a daily basis.

We include specific scenarios and case studies in our training entirely around the issues your staff face in their role. These could include Lone and remote working safely, visiting people in their homes, approaching people and vehicles, working with children and teenagers, and people with mental health or addiction issues.

After experiencing our training and support, all said that they were better informed, more confident when dealing with such situations, and less stressed at work as they felt ready and able to deal with what can be, without effective training, a real threat to staff satisfaction and safety with their working environment.

Workplace violence is a sad fact of life in an increasingly stressed world, but effectively trained staff and management are the key to de-escalating it before it starts. SALVAS can help.

What people say about SALVAS

SCOTLAND TRANSERV - BALFOUR BEATTY - CONNECT ROADS

“Having identified that 77% of our Operatives had experienced verbal abuse at the hands of South West Scotland’s drivers, and 17% had experienced actual physical abuse, it was important that we equipped them with the correct training to identify potential conflict at the earliest of stages, to understand it and properly manage such issues. This training has already helped many of our workers and we will look to have all of our customer-facing teams trained to such similar high standards.”

GLASGOW CITY MISSION - HOMELESS WINTER NIGHT SHELTER

"Salvas have supported the project since its inception in the winter of 2010. We train staff in Managing conflict and Challenging behaviours. Many of the service users have drug, alcohol and mental health issues. We concentrate on developing positive communication along with defusing and calming skills. Given the abusive backgrounds of many of the service users, staff have had to call the Police for assistance over the years. Training inputs have been adapted based on the incident recording and learning from previous violent incidents and this year 2018-19 saw the following reduction in Violent incidents within the Night shelter. Staff, volunteers and partners all reported that the night shelter felt much safer than last year. Statistics provided by Police Scotland confirmed this with a 53% reduction in reported crime. Common assault was down by 88%, and there was a 73% reduction in breach of the peace incidents."

GLASGOW OVERNIGHT WELCOME CENTRE - 2020 - 21

Staff undertook e-learning in Personal safety and Safer De-escalation alongside a face to face practical skills workshop to help them safely approach and manage difficult situations including conducting care and welfare room checks."
