Forestry First Aid + F
The Forestry First Aid + F course is ideal for those who work or intend to work in forestry, agricultural or remote environment, such as tree surgeons and farmers.
Designed to accompany the Emergency First aid at work or First Aid at Work courses, 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 specific environment. Topics covered are: extreme hot and cold temperatures, managing catastrophic bleeding, crush injuries and lyme disease.

“Thank you for your continued support in setting up our First Aid courses, (often at short-notice). Thank you also for the most recent training for our newest Team members, who found the material both informative, supportive and relevant to their roles. Providing such educational courses within a relaxed environment and specialised to their roles has certainly provided them the life-saving skills and confidence to deal with such emergencies-that arborists can experience in their day to day activities”
