Description
The Forestry England Personal First Aid Kit is compliant with the requirements as advised by the HSE and Forestry England. The kit is designed to minimise risk and the time taken to receive emergency treatment. The Forestry England Personal First Aid Kit should be carried on the person at all times whilst using a chainsaw. Make sure you have received suitable training on using its contents. It should contain at least one or more Haemostatic Dressings, a Combat Type Tourniquet and a Whistle. A worksite first aid kit should also be located at a central location.
Employers and the self-employed need to assess the first aid requirements of their work. Make sure there are enough trained first aiders and facilities to help casualties of illness or injury immediately, and that an ambulance or other professional help can be summoned without delay
Mandated chainsaw activity requirements include a tourniquet, haemostatic bandage, and safety whistle. First aid kits for forestry workers will otherwise be dependent upon activities being undertaken and the risks identified.
