Operational Emergency Kits

These kits are designed for the staff members responsible for managing emergencies inside a facility, campus, or workplace. Unlike general emergency supplies, operational kits support specific roles such as shelter-in-place teams, search and rescue, floor wardens, and mass casualty or bleed control responders.

Used in schools, workplaces, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and government buildings, these kits provide the tools needed to carry out emergency procedures during the critical minutes before first responders arrive.

Why Operational Kits Are Different from Standard Emergency Kits

Most emergency kits are designed for general survival. Operational kits are designed for incident management.

During a real emergency, confusion, lack of communication, and poor accountability create risk. These kits are built to support emergency procedures such as:

  • Staff accountability and victim tracking
  • Room-to-room search and rescue
  • Coordinated evacuation and floor control
  • Temporary shelter-in-place operations
  • Immediate hemorrhage control and triage

They are intended for use by floor wardens, safety teams, incident command staff, nurses, security personnel, and trained employees who have assigned emergency responsibilities.

Designed to Support Emergency Action Plans (EAP), ICS, and OSHA Guidance

These kits align with common emergency planning frameworks used by organizations, including:

  • OSHA Emergency Action Plans (EAP)
  • Incident Command System (ICS) principles
  • School and campus safety plans
  • Workplace evacuation procedures
  • Bleed Control and Stop The Bleed® programs

They help translate written emergency plans into practical, usable equipment on site.

Common Use Cases for Operational Emergency Kits

Organizations typically deploy these kits when they need to be prepared for:

  • Active threat or lockdown situations
  • Natural disasters requiring shelter-in-place
  • Missing persons or post-incident search operations
  • Mass casualty incidents
  • Large-scale evacuations
  • Medical emergencies involving severe bleeding
