NAR Trauma and First Aid Kit - Class A

North American Rescue — Workplace TFAK

A portable, workplace-ready first aid kit that exceeds the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class A standard — and then goes further. Beyond routine first aid it integrates a C-A-T® Tourniquet, a HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack, and your choice of hemostatic gauze, giving a bystander real hemorrhage-control capability in one zippered nylon bag carried to the patient's side. 14.75 × 8 × 4″, 2.94 lb.

The ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 update reflected a hard truth: a workplace first aid kit has to handle more than cuts and sprains — it has to be ready for major traumatic bleeding. A compliant kit alone still leaves the highest-lethality injury unaddressed.

What does a workplace kit need that the old standard left out?

The Class A TFAK answers it by exceeding the standard, not just meeting it. On top of the routine first-aid inventory the standard requires, it adds the tools that address the leading causes of preventable trauma death: a C-A-T® Tourniquet (CoTCCC-recommended) for extremity hemorrhage and a HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack (CoTCCC-recommended) for penetrating chest injury. Three hemostatic options let a facility match the kit to its team's training: NAR® Compressed Gauze (baseline), QuikClot® Bleeding Control Dressing, or Celox™ First Aid Gauze. Everything rides in a zippered nylon bag (14.75 × 8 × 4″, under 3 lb) built to be grabbed and carried to the patient. Included Just-In-Time Bleeding Control instructions mean even an untrained bystander can deliver effective hemorrhage control while waiting on EMS — the point of a public-access workplace kit. HSA/FSA eligible.

Compliant. And Ready For The Real Thing.

When to Deploy NAR Trauma and First Aid Kit - Class A

• OSHA/ANSI workplace compliance: The Class A TFAK meets and exceeds ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class A requirements — the standard for small workplaces (up to ~25 employees) under OSHA first aid regulation.
• Trauma-augmented workplace kit: Unlike standard ANSI kits that stop at bandages and antiseptics, the Class A TFAK adds a C-A-T® tourniquet and chest seal — equipping the workplace for the injuries that cause preventable workplace death.
• Small business and office deployment: The portable 14.75 × 8 × 4-inch nylon bag lets first-aid-designated staff carry the kit to the patient anywhere in the building.
• Construction site medical station: Construction contractors with OSHA first aid requirements deploy the Class A TFAK at active work sites — the trauma components address the laceration, crush, and amputation injuries common to construction environments.
• School and education facility: School administrators pair the TFAK with AED stations for a complete first-response platform that handles both cardiac arrest and trauma — including active-threat injuries.

How NAR Trauma and First Aid Kit - Class A Compares

Class A vs. Class B TFAK: Class A covers small workplaces (fewer than 25 employees) with a lighter supply set. Class B serves larger workplaces and includes more comprehensive supplies across all ANSI categories plus additional trauma augmentation. See both at tactical-medicine.com.

NAR TFAK vs. generic ANSI kit: Generic ANSI kits meet the minimum standard — bandages, antiseptics, basic first aid. The NAR TFAK adds a C-A-T® tourniquet, HyFin® Vent Chest Seal, and hemostatic gauze, turning a compliance requirement into a genuine life-safety platform.

NAR Class A vs. in-house assembled kit: Assembling a kit from pharmacy stock risks items that don't meet ANSI specification, missing categories, and inconsistent quality. The NAR TFAK ships ANSI-verified and trauma-augmented — a single purchase that satisfies compliance and genuine readiness simultaneously.
