Crush injury
Paramedics should be on site before a crush injury is released as you require an injection to deal with the build up of toxins in the crushed limb.
Depending on time frames involved a trivial injury can be fatal when the toxins are released if the shot hasn't been administered first

If you ever get an opportunity I would highly recommend going on a lantra +f first aid course
I've been on normal first aid courses but the +f course is meant for forestry and far more relevant to industry in general
Including heavy bleeding and major burns
Sod all the other tickets we have to go through I think this really should be taken by everyone.

Dead right - really good first aid course (particularly if well delivered)!
I did one +F course at a place near Widnes and it was terrible - the tutor spent the entire day talking about himself and we came away learning nothing, it was a joke in reality (but gave us the necessary tickets...)
However, we did another more recently with a guy called Marcus from Realism Training in North Wales and it was the best course of any type anyone could remember - very realistic role-plays etc (loads of blood!!!).

2 of my mates went down to Somerset for a 3 day +f simulation course
Day in the class room and 2 days wondering around the woods finding actors in various scenarios.
The one I did was entirely class room based no scenarios but still showed what to do when it went tits up and everyone went home bought a tourniquet, burn gel and celox bandages

usually polycarbonate - shotgun proof - had a load of it off a mate who had a scrap yard .... he got the shelters for free but had to take them all - poly an' all .... much to my pleasure ... had all the poly for next to nowt and used it in my old workshop windows, that the kids continually bricked .... 'til the poly got installed - and bounced 'em staight back at 'em .... still got a few sheets 4' x 4' roughly - 6mm thick ... made a new door for jake with one, when it slammed and shattered the nearly new glass one ... damned if I was buying a.n.other oneOne got pinched down here ally frame clear plastic windows and roof and was used as their horse shelter

Little bit of a **** up locally today ......talking to Darren Budd last night .. he was coming down here today to Ebbwvale for Alleleys to a new generating site on Rassau ... Talking to Pam after, on the dog, for her day's report on kiddy management ... an' she says The Rock's shut this weekend - A465 to where Daz is going ... so messaged him back - he'd hit the sack, but saw it 'fore he left ... came to Aber, fortunately with just a 40ft flat to collect some gear and sure enough - road closed 'til 6 am Monday ... so hung a left for Pontypool and came up from Crumlin - not so bad empty and ended up t'other side of the road closure.
However ..... his mate is on his way from Southhampton, under escort, running at 250 tonnes with 175t of tranny on, out of Sarfampton docks and routed by Plod and Highways England to guess where -- Abergavenny and The Rock which is about 5 miles of 1:12 .. to where there's a 500 tonne crane sat at £10k/hr who'd come down overnight and avoided the closure at 6am this morning.
Plod and Daz's mate with the 'heavy' get to Aber to find the 465 closed bearing in mind that this is the planned route, carefully agreed with all services - gas, leccy, etc. weeks ago.
Plod apparently remonstrated with whoever's in charge and there's no way they're coming up the 465 ...... so plod now has to deviate from the script ..
spun the 'heavy' around who's now been joined by a n other truck as a pusher for 'The Rock' climb and off they all trundle, back out onto the A40 heading for the A449 for Newport, where they have to go all the way round Newport 'cos yon 'Heavy' won't go through Brynglas tunnels on the M4, heading for Cardiff to pick up the A470 and then head for Merthyr, the other side of the closure.
the 470's a fair haul in that direction and at the end of it at the bottom end of Merffa, is the infamous Dowlais Pitch ... not as long a pull as 'The Rock' - but steeper.
They eventually get to Rassau 4 hrs later than planned - the 500 tonner has the clock ticking at £10k/hr ... the Heavy has killed an extra 500 quidsworth of derv on the detour, plus the pusher's fuel and Daz has had to just sit there all morning, 'cos they won't let him load, 'cos there's no where for him to stand to be loaded ..... so dropped his 40 and came home solo in the afternoon
What a **** up -- Highways England are the issuing authority for the route plan and the idiots who closed it .... apparently the site - Siemens're doing the job -- intend contra charging HE for a serious amount of wonga .......... an' Daz'll get a n other solo trip down to get his trailer loaded - at some point
bet plod was bouncing
