FORESTRY (EFAW+F & FAW+F) TRAINING COURSES 

The Emergency First Aid at Work + Forestry course is designed for those working in forestry or outdoor environments. This course covers essential first aid skills for workplace emergencies and includes additional modules specific to forestry-related incidents, such as severe bleeding, crush injuries, and hypothermia. Ideal for forestry workers, tree surgeons, and anyone working in rural settings, it ensures you are prepared to respond confidently to both general and forestry-specific emergencies. 
 
We're based near Kendal, close to the Lancashire/Cumbria border, but can deliver our Forestry (EFAW+F & FAW+F) training courses nationwide.

WHY THIS COURSE? 

Emergency First Aid at Work + Forestry and First Aid at Work + Forestry are now the industry standards for forestry workers, going beyond conventional first aid to address the unique risks of remote locations. In these environments, emergency response times are far longer, requiring workers to manage life-threatening injuries until help arrives. 
 
This training isn’t just about compliance—it’s about understanding the challenges of limited communication, difficult terrain, and industry-specific injuries. Unlike standard first aid courses designed for urban settings, + Forestry courses prepare you for real-world emergencies where immediate medical assistance isn’t an option. 
 
The Forestry Commission mandates Emergency First Aid with Forestry for all workers on its land, a requirement now widely adopted by major forestry and land management companies.
