Forestry First Aid “+F” bolt-on

Forestry First Aid (+F) — Focused First Aid for Woodland & Remote Work

Forestry and arboricultural work brings risks that standard first-aid courses don’t fully cover. Chainsaws, heavy machinery, remote locations and delayed emergency access all demand additional skills. Our Forestry First Aid (+F) module adds those essentials — delivered at your site, anywhere in the country, by trainers with real clinical and outdoor experience.

Designed as a bolt-on to EFAW or FAW, the +F module meets current Forestry Commission expectations for those working in woodland, tree work and rural environments.

What the +F Module Covers

This focused add-on provides training in:

  • Catastrophic bleeding control — including tourniquets and haemostatic dressings

  • Crush injuries, amputations and major limb trauma

  • Environmental injuries — hypothermia, heat illness and exposure

  • Bites, stings and tick-borne illness awareness (e.g. Lyme disease)

  • Managing casualties in remote or hard-to-access locations

Content can be adapted to suit your work environment and risk profile.
