Turtle Medical and Winvic Construction Enhance On-Site Safety with Emergency Response Trauma Kits

Turtle Medical is helping Winvic Construction Ltd strengthen safety on its sites by supplying customised Emergency Response Trauma Kits.

These kits include vital items such as quick-application tourniquets, chest seals, and military-grade haemostatic gauze, which helps blood clot when applied to a wound.

Winvic’s HSEQ team collaborated with Turtle Medical—known for producing The Daniel Baird Foundation bleed control kits—to determine the most effective kit contents for managing potentially life-threatening bleeding incidents on construction sites. The kits have been tailored to suit a large workforce, with multiples of essential items to treat several injuries simultaneously if necessary.

The original lifesaving kits, developed by The Daniel Baird Foundation in partnership with West Midlands Ambulance Service, are simple to use and designed for the public. Familiarity with emergency medical equipment, such as chest seals or defibrillators, enables first responders to act more quickly and confidently.

In addition to supplying the kits, Turtle Medical supported a programme of First Aid Trauma Training for Winvic staff, delivered by Abacus Training Centre. The training covered immediate trauma response and practical first aid scenarios, equipping the team with the skills and knowledge to react effectively in emergencies.

Ian Goodhead, Winvic’s Group HSEQ Director, said:

“In line with our Doing It Right ethos, we prioritise continuous learning, and this programme ensures our teams are better prepared to respond confidently. The Daniel Baird Foundation has transformed the way the public can act in emergencies, and with Turtle Medical’s guidance, our Emergency Response Trauma Kits now contain exactly what is needed to manage traumatic bleed injuries on site or nearby.”
