Here is the kit list I mentioned during the net:
NNPG Workplace Kit
A workplace prep kit will vary quite a bit from workplace to workplace. It must be adjusted to fit the physical layout of the structure, any restrictions placed on what an employee can have at the workplace, and what the employee’s EDC – Every Day Carry items are. If some of the EDC items are not suitable for on-body carry, they can be added to the kit bag.
Also, whether or not it is likely to be able to get to one’s vehicle and the supplies carried within. If it is not likely, a separate Get Home Bag kept in the building may be necessary for after getting out of the building when you cannot use your vehicle.
Some of the list address getting out of a building and away from it. Other items are for staying in place if required. The following list is based on a male working in an urban area, in a modern multistory building, and the following EDC list. Women will need to modify the kit(s) accordingly.
