First Aid for Forestry Workers

These courses are statutory first aid qualifications in accordance with the current (Feb 12) Forestry Commission First Aid Policy, (+F) when this is based on individual risk assessment. This course is highly practical, appropriate and specific to your working environment and outdoor activities.
The course is suitable for forestry workers, tree surgeons, National Park employees and rangers as well as those working in remote areas including steel erectors (pylons) and utility companies. This specialist training course will allow you to deal with life threatening scenarios and outdoor casualty management and includes crush injuries, head and spinal injury management, catastrophic bleeding, chainsaw incidents and suspension trauma. On successful completion of this course all candidates will receive either the EFAW or FAW certificate with the additional +F content included.
