This PD training is suitable for Bush Kinder educators, teachers, outdoor education workers or anyone working outdoors and includes both theory and practical aspects.  Attendees will be given a snake and spider safety manual at the end as well as a better understanding of these potentially dangerous animals.

Our Snake safety sessions allow the attendees to get up close to the most venomous snakes and spiders in Australia in complete safety through a two hour in depth session. All venomous snakes are safely contained during the session while attendees may interact with harmless reptiles such as lizards and pythons.

Snake and spider awareness programs reinforce safety and awareness with up to date knowledge and practical advice to ensure that all attendees leave with an understanding of how to calmly and effectively deal with a potential life threatening situation if ever one arises.

Topics covered in this PD are:

• • Safety awareness and preventative measures
  • Spider and snake envenomation
  • First aid treatment of snake and spider bites
  • Emergency response procedures

• • Local snake and spider identification and behaviour
  • Identifying snake and spider habitat
  • Making your workplace “snake safe”
  • WHS (OH&S)

This professional training is run by Black Snake Productions who are highly trained and experienced in snake and spider identification and emergency procedures for bites.
