First on the Scene (FOTS) Course
An industry standard in emergency first aid for non-medical personnel.
“Stop the Bleed” courses train members of the public to save lives through three basic actions aimed at stopping the life-threatening bleeding that can occur after everyday emergencies and natural or man-made disasters. This collaborative initiative was led by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) to spread knowledge of bleeding control among the public.
