Responding to Compression Injury in Forestry

Teams may encounter someone with a compression injury with little warning, so practical first aid training can help staff respond with greater confidence. This subject aligns closely with the practical skills taught on ABC Training Services’ First Aid at Work Course + F course for people who may need to act in an emergency. The First Aid at Work + F course adds forestry-focused emergency subjects to comprehensive workplace first aid, including severe bleeding, crush injury, temperature-related illness, bites and stings alongside wider First Aid at Work topics. Training is designed to build practical confidence so learners can assess the situation, give appropriate first aid and support a casualty until further help takes over.
