EFAW+F Scottish Borders Galashiels

Our Emergency First Aid with Forestry Training Course (EFAW+F) is designed specifically for those working in remote and outdoor environments. The course covers critical Forestry Commission first aid topics, including severe bleeding such as chainsaw injuries with tourniquet and trauma dressing use, crush injuries and suspension trauma, hypothermia management, and handling Lyme disease. Participants also learn how to get help without mobile signals using personal locator beacons like Spot and Inreach Explorer devices. The training is delivered by experienced outdoor professionals who have real-life experience working in the same challenging environments as your staff, ensuring practical, hands-on learning that can be directly applied in the field.

We offer both open and tailored first aid courses across Scotland and Northern England. The training is flexible to suit individual or team requirements, with courses available at your site or chosen venue. Our pricing policy is straightforward, covering all expenses and course documentation to make the selection process simple. Whether you are a small group of staff or arranging a tailored session for your organization, our courses provide practical, realistic, and professional training for forestry and outdoor work environments. Each course is structured to meet the specific challenges faced in remote locations, emphasizing safety, quick response, and effective casualty management.
