School Safety Redefined: The First Aid Shield, Your All-In-One Emergency Response Kit
Introducing the First Aid Shield, an all-in-one, lifesaving solution engineered to equip your school in managing active shooter situations and other emergency response needs. The First Aid Shield combines Premier Body Armor's top-tier Level III+ School Shield with the practicality of our essential Bleed Control Kit, delivering an unparalleled blend of safety and utility in one robust package.
At the heart of the First Aid Shield is our Level III+ School Shield, a beacon of safety built in the USA. Constructed from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), renowned for its remarkable strength and lightweight characteristics, the shield is further fortified with a resilient polyurea coating. Weighing a manageable 13 lbs and sized at 16”x20”, the School Shield ensures easy wieldability for adults and students alike, offering a first line of defense against rifle rounds, including those fired from widely-used firearms like the AR-15.
Premier Body Armor offers several bulletproof shield models, browse additional options here.
Complementing the School Shield, we’ve integrated four (4) crucial Bleed Control Kits within the First Aid Shield. In an emergency, every second counts. That's why our kit is designed to provide rapid and effective bleed control, potentially bridging the critical gap between injury and the arrival of emergency medical services. Anchoring this kit is the intuitive X-Force Tourniquet with its user-friendly "ZipTie" design, alongside other essential components, all packaged compactly for accessibility.
What sets the First Aid Shield apart is its innovative design. Encased in a durable Cordura carrier, the shield features dual handles for secure handling. The reverse side boasts four pockets, each housing a Bleed Control Kit. This design enables rapid response and protection, conveniently packaged together, equipping your institution with a powerful tool in safeguarding the lives of staff and students.
With the First Aid Shield, you’re not just investing in a product; you’re investing in peace of mind, ensuring your school is prepared and equipped to handle critical situations when seconds can make all the difference.
