Emergency First Aid plus Forestry Training in the Highlands – Complete Guide
Specialist Forestry First Aid for Tree Surgeons and Deer Managers in the Scottish Highlands
Forestry operations in the Scottish Highlands often take place in remote, rugged terrain where emergency response times can be significantly delayed. For tree surgeons, deer managers and estate workers operating near Inverness, Fort William, Aviemore and surrounding Highland estates, specialist training is essential.
Our Emergency First Aid plus Forestry training in the Highlands is designed specifically for professionals working in woodland, upland and estate environments.
This course combines:
• Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)
• Forestry-specific trauma response
• Chainsaw injury management
• Remote casualty care
• Hypothermia treatment
⸻
Why Forestry Workers in the Highlands Need Specialist Training
The Highlands present unique risks, including:
• Chainsaw injuries in remote woodland
• Falls from height during arborist work
• Severe bleeding incidents
• Crush injuries from timber handling
• Hypothermia in exposed conditions
• Limited mobile signal and delayed emergency services
Standard workplace first aid training does not fully prepare forestry professionals for these scenarios.
Our Emergency First Aid plus Forestry course ensures you are prepared to manage life-threatening incidents until professional help arrives.
