The TacMed SMARTAID system prepares high-risk workplaces and organisations to respond to medical emergencies so people can go home to their families safe.
Trained, Equipped, Compliant & Confident.
First Aid is not a box-ticking exercise and it is far more than a simple course and off the shelf first aid kit.
SMART Aid is a complete system which, through our proven process, ensures high-risk businesses and organisations have the procedures, training, and equipment that is customised specifically for the risks and environment clients work in.

The SMARTAID System
This system has been developed to treat the preventable causes of death so more lives can be saved.
Scene Safety and Security
Secure the scene from hazards or threats. If unsafe, consider moving casualty to safety.
Massive Bleeding
Treat any life-threatening bleeding immediately with trauma dressing, tourniquet or wound packing.
Airways
Check patient alertness and assess the airways for obstructions.
Respirations and Resuscitation
Check breathing. If the patient is not breathing normally, commence CPR (30 compressions / 2 breaths). Attach defibrillator (AED) asap. Seal any penetrating chest injuries with a vented chest seal.
Trauma, Temperature and Transport
Call Ambulance for assistance and prepare for transport. Treat any other wounds, burns or fractures. Prevent hypothermia and keep patient warm.
