Emergency First Aid + Forestry

Forestry First Aid: Essential for High-Risk Outdoor Industries in association with First Aid Awards LTD (FAA)

Description

Forestry first aid training isn’t just for loggers—it’s a critical skill for professionals working in remote or hazardous environments across multiple industries. When medical help isn’t immediately available, quick action can save lives.

Industries That Benefit from Forestry First Aid Training:

🔹 Forestry & Logging – Chainsaw injuries, falling trees, and equipment accidents.
🔹 Wildland Firefighting – Burns, smoke inhalation, and heat-related illnesses.
🔹 Conservation & Environmental Work – Remote fieldwork, wildlife encounters, and extreme weather.
🔹 Arboriculture & Landscaping – Heights, sharp tools, and heavy machinery hazards.
🔹 Outdoor Recreation & Tourism – Guiding, hiking, and adventure sports in remote areas.
🔹 Oil, Gas & Mining – Remote worksites with hazardous equipment and limited medical access.
🔹 Agriculture & Rural Work – Heavy machinery accidents and exposure to extreme weather.

Knowing how to respond to injuries, perform CPR, and handle emergency evacuations can make all the difference. Safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a responsibility.
