Public Access Trauma (PAcT) Cabinets & Storage

A public access trauma cabinet, also referred to as a PAcT Cabinet, is a secure and highly visible storage solution designed to house life-saving trauma kits for immediate use in emergency situations.

ProtectUK and NACTSO advise that life-saving equipment such as PAcT Kits should be easy to locate and access at all times, making clearly marked and well-positioned storage solutions an important part of effective emergency preparedness.

PAcT Cabinets help ensure trauma kits are protected from damage, tampering, or misplacement, while remaining clearly identifiable in high-pressure situations. Many options feature high-visibility markings, glow-in-the-dark labelling, and robust designs suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor environments.

Providing clearly designated and accessible storage for trauma kits supports effective emergency planning and response procedures, which form a key part of preparedness measures under Martyn’s Law. In the event of a major incident, having a centrally located cabinet can help reduce response times, supporting efforts to preserve life while emergency services are en route.

Simple to install and cost-effective, PAcT Cabinets are a practical addition to any public or private setting, helping to ensure that essential bleed control equipment remains protected, visible, and ready when it matters most.
