With Martyn’s Law now enacted as part of the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, premises or events with public capacities over 200 are required to consider the risk of a terrorist attack and have appropriate measures in place to prepare for and respond to such incidents, with the aim of mitigating physical harm. This may include the provision of first aid supplies to treat major injuries such as catastrophic bleeding, which are strongly recommended in official counter-terrorism advice.

Traumatic injuries such as major bleeds can result in death in minutes, but having provisions to stop severe bleeding readily available, and clearly signposted and easy to access can be vital in keeping casualties alive until medical professionals are able to help. As such, official guidance states that first aid supplies must be visible and accessible to all, and that everyone on site should be aware of the location of provisions

To ensure rapid response in the event of a mass casualty event, Emergency Response Signs allow for fast identification and location of bleed control and trauma kits. This range of signage allows for directional guidance and kit identification, as well as informing of who the person in charge is. By displaying this signage alongside the kits required for mass casualty events, emergency first aid and treatment can be applied until emergency services arrive – increasing the chances of survival for any victims.
