Forestry First Aid

First responder rescue someone trapped beneath forestry machinery

Each workplace across the country has different hazards and forestry blocks are no exception. Generally, forestry crews are working a long way from help and if an accident or medical emergency occurs, staff will need to manage patients for extended periods of time until the emergency services arrive.

We’ve developed a course that takes the key aspects of forestry-based emergencies and applies this learning to a hands-on, scenario heavy but fun training day.  Course content will include:

  • accident site management
  • thorough patient assessments
  • head, spine and crush injuries
  • bleeds
  • vehicle accidents
  • fractures and dislocations
  • medical emergencies
  • hypothermia
  • CPR and defibrillation

Expect forestry-specific scenarios where participants can learn and practice emergency processes that they can take back into the field.

Certification

On completion of the course, attendees will receive an electronic (pdf) Forestry First Aid, which is valid for two years for workplace purposes.

What to bring

Lunch, snacks and a drink bottle. Suitable footwear and a jacket are good options.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to our Forestry First Aid course, however, there may be requirements if you are interested in being assessed for any Unit Standards.
