EFAW-F for Forestry Level 3 (VTQ)™
The EFAW-F for Forestry Level 3 (VTQ)™ course provides essential emergency first aid training specifically for people working in forestry, arboriculture, landscaping, grounds maintenance and other higher-risk outdoor environments.
Building on the principles of Emergency First Aid at Work, this specialist course considers the additional challenges associated with forestry and outdoor work, where serious injuries may occur in remote or difficult-to-access locations and professional emergency assistance may take longer to reach the casualty.
The course develops the practical skills and confidence needed to assess an emergency, provide immediate first aid and manage a casualty until further medical assistance is available.
Who is this course suitable for?
This course is particularly relevant to:
- Forestry workers and contractors
- Arborists and tree surgeons
- Landscaping and grounds maintenance teams
- Estate, woodland and countryside workers
- Conservation and environmental workers
- Agricultural and rural businesses
- Workers using chainsaws and other cutting equipment
- Employees working alone or in remote outdoor locations
- Organisations requiring forestry-specific emergency first aid training
