Haemorrhage Bleeding Control Solutions

Control severe bleeding fast with tactical tourniquets, medic pouches, and trauma kits. Essential gear for emergency response.

Summary

Severe haemorrhage is one of the leading preventable causes of death in trauma emergencies. Immediate and effective bleeding control—often within minutes—can be lifesaving. From tactical tourniquets to trauma pouches, first responders and civilians alike must be equipped with reliable haemorrhage control tools. This guide explores the most trusted products and practices for bleeding management, designed for high-stakes environments such as emergency services, remote worksites, and defence scenarios.

What Is Haemorrhage Control and Why Is It Critical?

Haemorrhage control refers to methods and tools used to stop or reduce bleeding, especially in life-threatening situations where arteries are compromised. Uncontrolled bleeding can result in hypovolemic shock and death within minutes if not treated. According to the Australian Resuscitation Council, early intervention with effective bleeding control methods such as tourniquets can increase survival rates by up to 90% when applied within the first five minutes of trauma.

Why haemorrhage control is essential:

Prevents shock and death from blood loss
Increases survival time while awaiting emergency services
Vital in high-risk occupations (military, mining, emergency response)
Supports compliance with workplace health and safety guidelines

How to Use Bleeding Control Gear Effectively

Correct application can make the difference between life and death. Here’s how to use haemorrhage control items safely and effectively:

Tourniquet Application

Expose the injury site.
Place tourniquet 5–7cm above the bleeding site, avoiding joints.
Tighten until bleeding stops.
Secure the windlass rod and note the application time.
Do not remove until professional help arrives.

Refer to Safe Work Australia’s guidance on managing workplace trauma for compliance protocols.

Pouch Setup Best Practices

Store frequently used items (e.g., gloves, tourniquets) in front compartments
Organise by priority and label clearly
Check expiry dates and restock regularly

Industry Use and Workplace Compliance

Under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations in Australia, employers in high-risk environments must provide adequate first aid equipment and training. This includes appropriate haemorrhage control tools in industries such as:

Construction and mining
Forestry and agriculture
Security and defence
Remote community healthcare

Key Compliance Guidelines:

Australian Standard AS 3745 recommends trauma gear in emergency preparedness
First aid kits must include tourniquets for remote or hazardous work areas
Emergency training should include bleeding control scenarios

Implementing proper bleeding control measures aligns with WHS obligations and minimises workplace risk exposure.
