Forestry First Aid
One-Day Practical Training for Workplace Emergencies
This short, yet informative course provides learners with the knowledge and practical competencies needed for the treatment of injuries and diseases that could occur whilst working in a forestry/agricultural and outdoor specific environment. Topics covered are: extreme hot and cold temperatures, managing catastrophic bleeding, crush injuries and Lyme disease.
The course goes beyond first aid. It develops the confidence, leadership and practical decision-making needed to manage the wider emergency, protect those involved and coordinate an effective response until the emergency services arrive.
Training is practical, realistic and tailored to your workplace, hazards and emergency arrangements.
The forestry first aid course is ideal for those who work (or intend to work) in a forestry, agricultural or remote environment, such as tree surgeons and farmers.
This course follows the Level 3 Emergency First Aid At Work framework with the added Level 3 Award in Forestry First Aid +F (RQF) qualification which meets the standards outlined in the Forestry Commission First Aid at Work Policy.
We have then tailored this course to add specific risks, hazards and treatment for those that work in outdoor or remote environments.
Preparing People to Take Control
In a major workplace emergency, having trained first aiders is only part of the response.
Someone must take control, coordinate people, manage hazards, communicate clearly and ensure the right actions happen in the right order.
We use realistic workplace scenarios to help learners practise these skills under pressure. Training can be adapted around your site, emergency plans, equipment and foreseeable incidents.
The result is a team that is better prepared to respond calmly, safely and effectively when an emergency occurs.
