How to use the casualty triage set?
At an incident with multiple casualties, first assess the safety of the scene, then call for help on 999 or 112. You can read more about how to do this efficiently in the article Emergency number 112 and calling for help. Triage should be carried out by a trained person. Before contact with a casualty, put on the disposable gloves from the set.
This module does not contain dressings or a tourniquet. In massive bleeding, direct pressure is what matters, and when bleeding from a limb is life-threatening, a tourniquet. You can read about preparing for such a situation in the text A first aid kit ready for massive bleeding.
