Not every logging rig has room for a hard case. Cab space is tight, gear competes for every cubic foot, and a kit that won’t stow gets left behind — which means it isn’t there when a saw kicks back. The NAR Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit — Soft Case delivers the same OSHA-exceeding capability as its hard-case sibling in a slim nylon bag that fits behind a seat, in a door pocket, or in an equipment compartment.
A compliance kit that doesn’t fit in the truck is a compliance kit that stays in the truck. Where does yours ride?
Rugged zippered nylon construction with 550-cord pulls is built for active logging conditions — truck cabs, equipment compartments, field storage — while staying compact enough for spaces a hard case can’t use. Like the hard case, the kit centers on the C-A-T tourniquet, the CoTCCC-recommended standard for extremity hemorrhage control, and includes a Just-In-Time Bleeding Control card so any crew member — trained or not — can act on a catastrophic bleed.
Why This Kit
Soft nylon bag with 550-cord pulls fits behind seats and in equipment compartments — the OSHA-exceeding load that actually travels with the crew.
Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet and Responder ETD — double compressed gauze for the deep wound packing chainsaw and crush injuries demand.
A Just-In-Time Bleeding Control card and a labeled contents inventory let any crew member act and account for supplies, regardless of medical background.
BurnTec dressing, eye wash, and polycarbonate eye shields address the fuel-burn and debris hazards specific to saw and equipment work.

Backcountry and right-of-way crews who carry the kit on foot to the cut.
Build It Out

Type IV ANSI hard case with lid organizer for the landing or shop.
Resupply tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, and pressure dressings.
Standardize one CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet across the operation.
The Bag, Up Close

When to Deploy Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit - Soft Case
- Per-vehicle OSHA compliance in the logging cab: The compact nylon bag stows behind a seat or in a door pocket — the OSHA-exceeding kit that actually travels with the operator to the cut, not left in the shop.
- Chainsaw laceration immediate response: The C-A-T® tourniquet and double compressed gauze address the dominant logging injury — extremity laceration and amputation — from the cab of the skidder or feller buncher.
- Remote right-of-way and trail crew carry: Crews working on foot carry the soft case to the work site, providing OSHA-exceeding coverage at the actual point of injury.
- Burn and eye injury treatment: BurnTec dressing and polycarbonate eye shields treat fuel burns and debris exposure — injuries specific to saw operations and equipment maintenance.
- Paired with hard case for complete logging site coverage: Stage the soft case in each truck and the hard case at the landing or shop — full site coverage without redundancy.
How Logging First Aid & Trauma Kit - Soft Case Compares
Logging Kit Soft Case vs. Hard Case: Same OSHA-exceeding contents, different packaging. The Hard Case is for landing, shop, or stationary staging where impact protection and clear inspection are priorities. The soft case is for vehicle and mobile carry where the compact format matters more than hard-shell protection.
Soft Case vs. PABC (Public Access Bleeding Control) kit: The PABC kit family is designed for lay-responder public access. The Logging Soft Case includes OSHA 1910.266-aligned contents specifically selected for the logging industry injury pattern and regulatory requirement.
Logging Soft Case vs. EDC Ankle Trauma Kit: The EDC Ankle Trauma Kit is an individual personal carry kit. The Logging Soft Case is a workplace compliance kit for the logging industry — more comprehensive contents for a multi-person work environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Logging Soft Case meet OSHA 1910.266?
A: Yes. The kit exceeds OSHA Standard 1910.266 Appendix A for logging industry first-aid kits. The C-A-T® tourniquet and Just-In-Time Bleeding Control card go beyond the OSHA minimum requirement.
Q: What SKUs are available for the soft case?
A: Basic (SKU 80-1188) and w/Bleeding Control Dressing (SKU 80-1189). The BCD version adds a hemostatic dressing for wound packing. Both configurations exceed OSHA 1910.266 App A.
Q: Is the C-A-T® in this kit CoTCCC-recommended?
A: Yes. The Combat Application Tourniquet (C-A-T®) included in the Logging Soft Case is CoTCCC-recommended as the standard extremity tourniquet for life-threatening extremity hemorrhage.
Q: How often should the soft case be inspected?
A: Inspect monthly and after any deployment. OSHA 1910.266 requires employers to maintain first-aid kits — use the included inspection card to document each inspection.
Q: Can multiple units be ordered for fleet compliance?
A: Yes. Contact MED-TAC International for quantity pricing and procurement for logging fleet compliance programs. NAR logging kits are available in quantity for commercial and government buyers.
