By fatality rate, logging is the most dangerous occupation in the United States — many times the national average across all industries. The injuries are not minor: chainsaw lacerations, crush injuries from falling timber, and traumatic amputations — high-severity, high-blood-loss events that happen in remote terrain, often miles and many minutes from the nearest EMS response. OSHA Standard 1910.266 App A mandates specific first-aid contents for logging worksites. The NAR Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit — Hard Case exceeds that mandate and adds genuine trauma capability on top of it.
If a saw kicks back and opens a femoral bleed forty minutes from the trailhead, does your worksite kit have a tourniquet — or just band-aids and a checklist?
This kit centers on the C-A-T tourniquet — the CoTCCC-recommended standard for extremity hemorrhage control — alongside an Emergency Trauma Dressing, compressed gauze, and a BurnTec burn dressing for equipment-fire and fuel-burn injuries. The rugged dual-latched hard case meets Type IV ANSI container requirements: it survives truck beds, equipment cabs, weather, and vibration. A modular lid organizer and labeled treatment pouches let a minimally trained crew member find the right item fast under stress.
Why This Kit
Built past the logging-industry first-aid mandate — not a checkbox kit. Satisfies the compliance requirement and then adds the trauma tools the standard does not.
Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet and the Responder ETD — the bleeding-control tools that decide whether an amputation or deep laceration is survivable before EMS arrives.
Three versions: Basic, with QuikClot Z-Fold Bleeding Control Dressing, or with Celox hemostatic gauze — match the wound-packing capability to crew training and risk.
Dual-latched Type IV ANSI container with a labeled lid organizer and removable nylon pouches — survives the storage abuse a logging site dishes out and stays organized for fast retrieval.

Who Fields It
OSHA-mandated worksites where the standard kit needs to also handle catastrophic saw and timber trauma.
Land clearing, utility right-of-way, and backcountry work crews with long EMS response times.
Operations facing crush, amputation, and burn risk that demand more than a compliance-only box.
Build It Out
Match the case format to the storage location and standardize hemorrhage control across the crew.
Same OSHA-exceeding load in a compact nylon bag for tight cab storage.
Resupply tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, and pressure dressings.
Standardize one CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet across every kit and vehicle.
The Case, Up Close
Exceeds OSHA 1910.266, carries a CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet, and rides out the worst a logging site can throw at a hard case.

When to Deploy Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit - Hard Case
- Landing and skid-site OSHA compliance: Meets and exceeds OSHA Standard 1910.266 App A first-aid requirements for logging operations — the hard case provides a durable, inspectable kit for fixed landing or shop staging.
- Chainsaw laceration and amputation response: The C-A-T® tourniquet and compressed gauze in the kit address the chainsaw injury pattern — high-volume, high-velocity extremity wounds that are the leading cause of logging fatality.
- Remote logging operation medical support: In a logging operation where the nearest EMS response is 30+ minutes away, the hard case provides the bridge care capability that keeps a patient alive to definitive care.
- Burn and eye injury treatment: BurnTec dressings and polycarbonate eye shields address fuel burns and debris exposure — injury patterns specific to saw and equipment operations.
- Crush and blunt trauma from equipment accidents: SAM splints and pressure dressings address crush and fracture injuries from equipment rollovers, falls, and load-handling accidents.
How Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit - Hard Case Compares
Logging Kit Hard Case vs. Soft Case: The Soft Case provides the same OSHA-exceeding contents in a compact nylon bag for vehicle carry. The hard case is a Type IV ANSI hard-shell for landing, shop, or stationary staging where protection from environmental damage and clear inspection are priorities.
Logging Kit vs. NAR Trauma and First Aid Kit Class A: The Class A kit is a general-purpose trauma and first-aid kit. The Logging Kit is specifically formulated for OSHA 1910.266 App A compliance and the logging industry injury pattern — chainsaw lacerations, crush, burn, and eye injuries.
Logging Kit vs. Maritime Watertight Kit: The Maritime Watertight Kit is designed for water exposure and maritime environments. The Logging Kit addresses the specific injury and compliance requirements of the forestry industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit - Hard Case meet OSHA 1910.266?
A: Yes. The kit is designed to exceed OSHA Standard 1910.266 Appendix A — the mandatory first-aid kit standard for the logging industry. It goes beyond the OSHA minimum by adding the C-A-T® tourniquet and additional trauma capability.
Q: Is the C-A-T® tourniquet CoTCCC-recommended?
A: Yes. The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T®) Gen 7 included in this kit is CoTCCC-recommended as the standard extremity tourniquet for life-threatening hemorrhage control.
Q: What SKUs are available for the hard case version?
A: The Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit Hard Case is available in a Basic version (SKU 80-1186) and a version with Bleeding Control Dressing (SKU 80-1187) that adds a hemostatic dressing for wound packing. Both configurations exceed OSHA 1910.266 App A.
Q: How often should the Logging Kit be inspected?
A: Inspect monthly and after any use. Replace expended and expired items immediately. OSHA 1910.266 requires employers to ensure first-aid kits are maintained — the contents inspection card supports compliance documentation.
