A summary of Celox is added to the High Peak Wilderness First Aid 16hr course to give participants the knowledge to decide if they need to attend further training.

The Celox training is taught in addition to the use of tourniquets.
The Health and Safety Executive has issued a statement on the use of haemostats. Further details are found in the HSE June 2016 First Aid e Bulletin. The HSE makes reference to types of workplace that may benefit from having employees trained in the use of tourniquets. These sectors include and are not limited to forestry, agriculture and construction.
