BCB-100: Bleeding Control Basics Course for Security Professionals

BCB-100 is the Eight Point Solutions Bleeding Control Basics Course for Security Professionals, a 4-hour online course for security officers, event and venue staff, front desk and lobby personnel, supervisors, and anyone who is going to be the first person standing next to someone who is bleeding to death. Delivered self-paced on the EPS Portal from Lanham, Maryland, the course trains the officer in the knowledge and the sequence that the Hartford Consensus put in the hands of the public: a person can bleed to death in five minutes and help is farther away than that. Alert, find, control. The call in the EPS format with the location, the count, and the words severe bleeding. Finding the bleed and not the blood, and the signs of life-threatening bleeding. Direct pressure with both hands and body weight, never lifted. Wound packing into the source, held three minutes on hemostatic gauze and ten on plain. The commercial windlass tourniquet two to three inches above a severe limb bleed, tight until the bleeding stops, timed, doubled if needed, and never loosened. Where bleeds happen and the tool for each: limb, junction, torso, head, the embedded object, the amputation, and more than one patient. Scene safety, shock, keeping the patient warm, and the MIST handoff. The kit, the post, the exposure under 29 CFR 1910.1030, the report, and the drill. Tuition is $25.00. The official BCB-100 Course Syllabus, Version 1.0 is included in Module 1. Five modules cover the officer and the bleed, recognizing and stopping the bleed, where bleeds happen, the scene, shock, and the handoff, and the kit, the post, and the record. Completion requires all five modules, every module quiz passed at 80 percent or higher, the 50-item final examination passed at 90 percent or higher, and the course sign-off. The EPS Bleeding Control Basics Certification is serial-numbered, recorded in the EPS registry, verifiable through the EPS Portal, and valid for two years. The credential documents completion of EPS training in the knowledge and the sequence. It is not a medical license, not a first aid or CPR certification, not a substitute for hands-on practice on a training limb, and not a state security license, and it does not authorize any use of force. BCB-100 is governed by EPS-DIR-001 and the BCB-100 Course Syllabus. Built to be taken before HCC-100, the EPS Hemorrhage Control Course. Samuel Romanzo, Training Director.
