Life-Threatening Bleeding Training for Dereham Workplaces
The HSE’s updated L74 guidance (2024) now specifically requires employers to ensure their first aid provision can manage life-threatening bleeding if identified as a risk. This is particularly relevant for Dereham’s agricultural, manufacturing, and engineering businesses where serious injuries could occur.
Combined with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (commonly known as Martyn’s Law), venues and public buildings in Dereham must also consider provision for major incidents.
Our life-threatening bleeding training includes:
- Tourniquet application training
- Haemostatic dressing techniques
- Wound packing procedures

This specialist training can be added to any of our first aid courses and will be annotated on your certificate for each successful learner.
