Highlights
Outing Highlights
Practical, forestry‑specific emergency skills
Course modules concentrate on the high‑risk events most relevant to forestry work—severe bleeding (including chainsaw injuries and tourniquet use), trauma dressings and clotting agents—so the training maps directly to real incidents you may face in the woods.
Delivered by industry‑seasoned outdoor professionals
Trainers are full‑time outdoor professionals with on‑the‑job experience in remote casualty management; as a UK FISA member and preferred provider for the Forestry Commission and Scottish Woodlands the course content is kept current with industry near‑misses and incidents.
Hands‑on learning in small cohorts
The course is designed for practical, outside‑the‑classroom training and is organised for small groups to allow tailored advice and realistic casualty‑management practice in conditions similar to your working environment.
