These are usually undertaken to fulfill the demands of the work or activity undertaken.

* '''[[Battlefield medicine|Battlefield first aid]]''' takes into account the specific needs of treating wounded [[combatants]] and [[non-combatants]] during [[armed conflict]].
* Conflict First Aid focuses on support for stability and recovery of personal, social, group or system well-being and to address circumstantial safety needs.
* '''[[Hyperbaric medicine|Hyperbaric]] first aid''' may be practiced by [[underwater diving]] professionals, who need to treat conditions such as [[decompression sickness]].
*'''[[Oxygen therapy|Oxygen]] first aid''' is the providing of oxygen to casualties with conditions resulting in [[hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]]. It is also a standard first aid procedure for underwater diving incidents where gas bubble formation in the tissues is possible.
*'''[[Wilderness first aid]]''' is the provision of first aid under conditions where the arrival of [[emergency responders]] or the evacuation of an injured person may be delayed due to constraints of terrain, weather, and available persons or equipment. It may be necessary to care for an injured person for several hours or days.
*'''[[Mental health first aid]]''' is taught independently of physical first aid. How to support someone experiencing a mental health problem or in a crisis situation. Also how to identify the first signs of someone developing mental ill health and guide people towards appropriate help.
