The 22 oz. vinyl construction provides superior resistance to chemical exposure and contamination from fire scenes compared to standard nylon bags. This heavy-duty material prevents cross-contamination when storing turnout gear exposed to carcinogens, hazardous materials, or bodily fluids. The vinyl is also easier to decontaminate between uses, making it ideal for fire departments and EMS agencies following NFPA contamination control protocols. The R&B Tuff Bottom adds extra durability when placing the bag on rough surfaces at emergency scenes.

At 24" L x 12" W x 12" H, this bag is specifically designed to hold contamination control supplies—not a full turnout ensemble. It stores items like disposal bags, gloves, wipes, and tools needed to safely collect and secure exposed gear. For transporting complete turnout sets, R&B Fabrications offers larger gear bags. This Health Safety Kit Bag is meant to accompany your apparatus and provide immediate access to contamination mitigation supplies at fire scenes.

Self-repairing YKK #10 zippers automatically realign if the zipper pull separates from the track—a common failure point when responders are working quickly under stress or wearing gloves. Standard zippers can jam or separate permanently when contaminated with soot, debris, or fluids. The heavy-duty #10 gauge handles repeated opening/closing cycles in harsh conditions, and the self-repair mechanism ensures the bag remains securely sealed during transport, preventing contamination spread in the apparatus bay or station.

Yes, this bag is designed with NFPA contamination control best practices in mind. NFPA 1851 and NFPA 1500 emphasize isolating contaminated gear from clean environments. The 22 oz. vinyl material, secure zipper closure, and high-visibility "Health Safety Kit" labeling support proper contamination protocols by providing a dedicated, identifiable container for decon supplies. While the bag itself isn't NFPA-certified, it's built to help fire departments implement compliant contamination reduction workflows on-scene and during transport.

R&B Fabrications' USA manufacturing (MPN 193Gray) ensures compliance with domestic procurement requirements like the Berry Amendment for federal and military contracts. The 46 oz. bag meets TAA and BAA standards, offers faster lead times for bulk agency orders, and provides direct manufacturer support for customization requests. Domestic production also guarantees consistent quality control and material sourcing—critical when your department relies on this bag for contamination control and firefighter health protection programs.
