Forestry First Aid

Westacre security now offer bespoke Forestry First Aid courses as part of our training portfolio. These courses are aimed at those working within the arboricultural and forestry sectors as well as anyone required to operate a chainsaw, timber hauliers, ecologists or remote workers.

The training is delivered in line with the relevant agency and their First Aid Policies - Forestry Services and Forestry England if the workplace is in England or Forestry & Land Scotland if the workplace is in Scotland.

Any of our courses can be tailored to include forestry (+F), but the most common is the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work Forestry (EFAW-F). We are also able to offer a short 2-hour forestry ‘bolt-on’ for anyone who holds an in-date EFAW or FAW qualification to bring you up to the +F standard. Understanding your forestry first aid training needs is best achieved by carrying out a First Aid Needs Assessment - please get in touch for advice.
