First Aid Training Courses

+F First Aid

This is a half day course, during which learners will recognise common risks to forestry workers and learn how to administer First Aid accordingly, including dealing with catastrophic bleeding, crush injuries, tick bites, heat stroke and hypothermia. It is not only useful for people working in forestry, but a wide range of outdoor roles.

The +F course from Lantra has been developed to comply with the Forestry Commission +F as per the First Aid at Work – Forestry Commission Policy and in consultation with Forestry Industry Safety Accord (FISA)

You need to hold an in-date first aid certificate to do the +F stand alone course. If you don’t have one, consider the Emergency First Aid at Work + F or First Aid at Work +F courses (details below).

First Aid at Work

The course covers CPR and use of a defibrillator, causes of unconsciousness and recovery position, choking, bleeding and shock (like EFAW), then goes on to cover injuries to bones, muscles and joints, burns and scalds, and illnesses including asthma, diabetes and epilepsy. Please let us know if you’d like the full list of topics
