The WorkSafe Emergency First Aid at Work for Forestry course is a short programme of learning designed to meet the requirements of The Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and also cover specific additional subjects relevant to the forestry industry. Course length is 7hrs.
The core syllabus is taken from the HSE Emergency First Aid at Work guidance and stipulates that on completion candidates should be able to undertake the following actions:
- understand the role of the first aider, including reference to:
- the use of available equipment
- the need for recording incidents and actions
- the importance of basic hygiene in first-aid procedures
- assess the situation and circumstances in order to act safely, promptly and effectively in an emergency
- administer first aid to a casualty who is unconscious and/or in seizure
- administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including use of an Automated External Defibrillator
- administer first aid to a casualty who is wounded or bleeding and/or in shock
- administer first aid to a casualty who is choking
- provide appropriate first aid for minor injuries
Additional subjects which are included in the EFAW for Forestry course are:
- Catastrophic Bleeding
- Falling from Height
- Crush Injury
- Suspension Trauma
- Lyme Disease
The course content focuses on emergency care and includes CPR and other emergency first aid skills that will provide a person ‘first on the scene’ with the basic knowledge to provide life saving actions. Candidates will learn the skills in the sequence they will be used in a life threatening emergency and also following the same priorities of care as all professional emergency responders. This results in a sequenced learning that aids future skill retention.
We pride ourselves on delivering affordable, professional first aid courses of a high standard, as demonstrated by our participants’ reviews below:
