Workplace injuries don’t come with a warning. Whether you're in construction, warehousing, manufacturing, or field service, traumatic injuries—especially those involving severe bleeding—can escalate in seconds. Knowing how to respond before emergency medical help arrives is a skill every worker should have. With the right training and equipment, you don’t just react. You take control of the situation and protect the lives around you.
Recognize When Bleeding Becomes Dangerous
The first step to stopping a bleed is knowing when it’s serious. Blood that spurts, pools quickly, or continues soaking through clothing is a sign of arterial bleeding. Without immediate intervention, this type of injury can lead to shock and even death in minutes. Learning to recognize these signs allows you to respond with clarity, not confusion. Your ability to assess a wound quickly can change the outcome for a coworker or even yourself.
Equip for the Big Injuries—and the Common Ones, Too
Trauma kits are essential for life-threatening bleeds, but most jobsite injuries aren’t dramatic—they’re cuts, scrapes, or punctures that still need proper care. Shield-Safety carries a range of bleeding control materials for everyday incidents, like the Bloodstopper Compress with Gauze Rolls for wound dressing, QuikClot Gauze for controlling moderate bleeding, and Gauze Pads for basic first aid. Stocking your kit with both major trauma tools and everyday wound care items keeps your team covered in all situations.
Carry Tools Designed for Real Emergencies
When seconds matter, you need gear you can rely on. The Trauma Kit 2.0 includes a SOF-T Wide Tourniquet, compressed gauze, gloves, trauma shears, and pressure dressings—all packaged for fast access and use under pressure. Whether it’s mounted in your truck, stowed in a foreman’s pack, or placed in a safety station, this compact kit delivers serious readiness. Having the right tools close at hand means you can act instead of panic.
Learn the Skills That Save Lives
Gear means nothing without training. Shield-Safety’s First Aid & Injury Treatment Training teaches you how to control bleeding, apply tourniquets, pack wounds, and manage the scene until professional help arrives.
