A new potentially lifesaving bleed control kit has been installed at Haymarket railway station, thanks to a donation from The Daniel Baird Foundation.
The kit contains instructions on how to help someone who is bleeding heavily and includes equipment to stem the blood flow by sealing, wrapping, or packing the wound until paramedics arrive.
David Lister, Sustainability Director, ScotRail Safety, Engineering, said:
“We’re really pleased to work with the Daniel Baird Foundation to install this piece of potentially life-saving equipment. Haymarket station is a perfect location for this new bleed control kit.
Miles Hamilton, fundraiser for the Daniel Baird Foundation, said:
“This installation of the bleed control kit at Haymarket station has increased the number of public access bleed kits in Scotland to four."
