First Aid for Abroist and Forestry...

[Smith126]

Hello all,

 

I have heard rumours that there are 'First Aid at work' course around that specialize in Aboriculture and or forestry situations, ie. crush injuries, trauma, lasherations, impacts etc...I could google them, but I wanted to ask you guys if you know of any in the Surry/Hampshire Sussex areas...which you would recommend.

 

I'm one of the first aiders for our team, but its due to expire next month, and last time i did it, it was full office jokeys, and pregnant mums and woman wanting to child minders and wanting to know how to treat a cough, and do cpr to a baby...

 

Cheers

Give Katie at Fox Medics a shout, she runs courses specifically aimed at arborists. I had a chat with her at the Arb show and she hinted that she would be willing to travel to facilitate said course.

Just go carefull with the extra price I am in the process of becoming a first aid at work and defibrillator instructor and assessor. Having done a bit of research people are charging extra for are based or f qual (forestry) when actually you can tailor a course to your specific needs but keeping within the set training guidelines. Once I have more info I will add to here.

I know this is an old thread, but still the same question.....

 

Does anyone run, or know of providers of EFAW+F (Industry specific basic first aid) courses in the Bath / Bristol area?

 

The nearest I currently know of are Blake training near Bridgwater, and the Treekit one earlier in this thread in Dorset

 

Would be for just one or two people, so getting a course put on specially is probably not an option.

 

Thanks
