Advanced Safety for Remote Environments
The curriculum integrates the standard Emergency First Aid at Work units with specialised topics essential for arborists, forestry workers, and land managers.

Candidates will master the use of tourniquets and haemostatic dressings to manage catastrophic bleeding, alongside protocols for treating crush injuries, hypothermia, and Lyme disease. All training follows the latest Resuscitation Council (UK) guidelines, providing a robust framework for incident management in the challenging terrains of the North York Moors or the Yorkshire Dales.
Upon successful completion, learners receive a certificate valid for three years, ensuring your business remains compliant with HSE statutory duties. This intermediate-level course is a critical requirement for anyone working under Forestry Commission contracts or in commercial woodland management.

Who this course is for & why it matters
This training is designed for healthcare professionals, early years practitioners, and individuals working in settings where severe allergic reactions are a documented risk. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to manage specific health risks present in their environment, including the administration of life-saving medication.

This qualification is meticulously mapped against current Resuscitation Council UK guidelines, ensuring that your team receives training that is both clinically accurate and easy to apply in high-pressure situations.
The curriculum for this half-day session focuses on the rapid recognition of anaphylactic shock and the practical administration of Adrenaline Auto-Injectors (AAIs). Under the guidance of our expert instructors, you will gain hands-on experience with various trainer devices, including EpiPen, Jext, and Emerade.

By aligning with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommendations for workplace first aid, we ensure your organisation remains compliant while prioritising the safety of staff, students, or customers.
In a region as diverse as North Yorkshire—from bustling hospitality venues to rural schools—the ability to provide immediate care is vital. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers have a duty of care to ensure staff are adequately trained to handle foreseeable risks, including severe allergies. This training bridges the critical gap between the onset of symptoms and the arrival of emergency services, empowering your workforce with the confidence to save a life. You can explore our full range of life-saving programmes on our first aid courses page.

Level 3 Award in Forestry First Aid (RQF)
Working in the great British outdoors requires more than just standard first aid knowledge; it demands specialist skills to manage life-threatening incidents in remote environments. At Livius Training, we provide the FAA Level 3 Award in Forestry First Aid (RQF), a qualification developed in conjunction with NUCO Training and First Aid Awards. Delivered at our dedicated training centre in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire, this intensive one-day course is specifically designed to meet the requirements of the Forestry Commission First Aid at Work Policy.
The syllabus builds upon the foundations of emergency first aid, addressing the specific, high-risk hazards faced by those working in forestry, arboriculture, and remote land-based roles. Because help is often further away in the Yorkshire woodlands, this qualification focuses heavily on time-critical interventions. You will learn the professional application of tourniquets and haemostatic dressings to manage catastrophic haemorrhage—a vital skill when working with heavy machinery or chainsaws. The training also covers the management of crush injuries, hypothermia, and the identification of Lyme disease, ensuring you are prepared for the unique challenges of the outdoor environment.
Holding this certification ensures your compliance with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 within a forestry context.

The curriculum is strictly aligned with the latest clinical guidelines from the Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care (FPHC) and the European Resuscitation Council. During your time with Livius Training, you will gain hands-on experience with critical life-saving equipment, including the application of manufactured tourniquets and the effective use of haemostatic dressings. Following recent updates to the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, the HSE now recommends that employers in high-risk sectors—such as construction, forestry, or security—assess the requirement for this specialised equipment and the vital training needed to use it safely.
