Trauma- und Erste-Hilfe-Kit - Klasse B

What is the difference between the Class A and Class B NAR Trauma Kits?

The Class B kit is designed for larger workplaces (typically 51–150 employees) and contains significantly more supplies: 50 fabric bandages vs. 16, 50 antiseptic towelettes vs. 10, 4 pairs of gloves vs. 2, 2 cold packs vs. 1, and a 4 oz eye wash vs. 1 oz. The Class B also has deeper dimensions (7.5 in. vs. 4 in.) and weighs 4.87 lb vs. 2.94 lb. Both exceed ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021.

Is the Class B kit OSHA compliant?

Yes. OSHA references the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 standard for workplace first aid kits, and this kit exceeds the Class B requirements. The 231+ components satisfy the ANSI minimum while the addition of a C-A-T® Tourniquet, HyFin® Vent Chest Seal, and hemostatic dressings go beyond what OSHA and ANSI require — preparing facilities for traumatic hemorrhage beyond standard industrial injuries.

Which hemostatic gauze variant should I choose?

The Compressed Gauze variant provides effective mechanical wound packing and is the most cost-effective option. The Bleeding Control Dressing (QuikClot) adds kaolin-based hemostatic acceleration, ideal for severe arterial bleeds. The Celox First Aid Gauze uses chitosan, which is effective on patients taking anticoagulants or aspirin — a relevant consideration for office and healthcare environments with older workforce demographics.

Is the C-A-T® Tourniquet in this kit CoTCCC-recommended?

Yes. The C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®) in Orange included in this kit is CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage control. It is the most widely fielded limb tourniquet in the world and Official Tourniquet of the U.S. Army.

How many employees does the Class B kit serve?

The ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class B standard is designed for larger workplace environments, generally those with 51–150 workers or high-risk industries with elevated injury probability. The Class B kit has deeper inventory than Class A to support longer periods between resupply and treatment of multiple minor injuries in a single incident.

Does the NAR Trauma & First Aid Kit - Class B meet OSHA requirements?

The Class B TFAK exceeds the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class B standard, which is the primary reference for OSHA first-aid supply compliance in general industry (29 CFR 1910.151) and construction (29 CFR 1926.50). The kit includes higher consumable counts than the standard minimum and adds trauma-specific items not required by ANSI.

What is the difference between the three hemostatic variants?

The Compressed Gauze variant (80-0948) includes NAR Compressed Gauze for wound packing — the baseline option. The BCD variant (80-1047) replaces compressed gauze with QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing, a kaolin-based hemostatic. The Celox variant (80-1478) uses Celox chitosan-based hemostatic gauze. Select based on your team's training and medical director guidance.

Is the C-A-T tourniquet in the Class B kit CoTCCC-recommended?

Yes. The kit includes a C-A-T (Combat Application Tourniquet) Generation 7, which is CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage control. The HyFin Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack is also CoTCCC-recommended for penetrating chest trauma.

What is the NSN or procurement path for the TFAK Class B?
