Helping critical infrastructure workers
Why it matters
The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. Each missile strike on a power plant not only disrupts civilian access to essential services like electricity and heat but also inflicts a heavy toll on the lives of those working within these facilities.
Save the Workers provides two critical interventions:
- Specialized first aid kits, designed for warzone realities – equipped to manage shrapnel wounds, massive bleeding, and crush injuries.
- Medical training, focused on immediate trauma response and blast injury care – helping workers keep each other alive until professional help arrives.
What makes our kits different
Most workplace first aid kits in Ukraine were stocked in peacetime. They’re outdated, undersized, and not built for war. Ours are different.
Mission Kharkiv’s field-tested trauma kits include:
- Emergency bandages;
- Hemostatic agents;
- Tourniquets;
- Chest seals;;
- Tools to clean, close, and stabilize wounds from missile shrapnel
- Compact, field-ready design built for non-medical personnel.
Our kits are built with real-life scenarios in mind. They’ve been tested, refined, and improved based on direct feedback from workers and medics in the field.
Training: From Fear to Readiness
Having a kit is step one. Knowing how to use it – that’s what saves lives.
Mission Kharkiv has already trained thousands of workers in basic trauma response. Our sessions teach how to:
- Identify and prioritize injuries;
- Control massive bleeding;
- Stabilize crush and shrapnel wounds;
- Communicate effectively with emergency services;
- Maintain calm under extreme pressure.
We work closely with Ukraine’s emergency responders to ensure that every trained worker becomes a force multiplier – not a helpless bystander.
