🐝 Insect stings typically improve within a few days without the need for medical attention, but how do you remove anything that has been left behind on the skin, or alleviate the symptoms that follow?

🐝 With summer in full swing and insect stings being one of the most common injuries at this time of year, we decided to make a list of what to do and what not to do if you or someone you know get stung.

✔️ Do
💳 Brush or scrape the stinger sideways with your fingernail or the edge of a bank card.
💧 Wash the area with soap and water.
🧊 Put an ice pack wrapped in a cloth, or a clean cloth soaked in cold water, on the bite or sting for at least 20 minutes, if it's swollen.
⬆️ Keep the area raised if you can.
💊 Take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if the sting is painful.
💊 Use antihistamines to relieve any itching.
🧴Use a hydrocortisone cream to reduce itching and swelling.

❌ Don’t
🦠 Do not scratch the bite or sting, as it could get infected.
❌ Do not use home remedies to treat the bite or sting.
☠️ Do not use tweezers to pull out a stinger as you could squeeze poison out of it.

🧑‍🏫 Our first aid courses, cover how to treat a sting and more. Enrol to learn how you can provide first aid in multiple situations, contact our team today:

When choosing our First Aid at Work (FAW) training course, there are two main options: the traditional 3-day in-classroom course and the blended learning approach. Both give the same certification, but how you get there can look quite different:

🧑‍🏫 3-Day Classroom FAW
✅ Fully in-person over three days
✅ Real-time interaction with instructors and peers
🚗 Less flexibility, more time away from work
🌍 Higher travel/environmental impact

🛜 Blended FAW
✅ Theory online at your own pace
✅ 1 - 2 days of hands-on, in-person training
✅ More cost-effective & time-efficient for employers
✅ Lower carbon footprint

Whether you prefer face-to-face learning or the flexibility of online study, both routes lead to the same qualified outcome. It’s all about what works best for you or your team.

🌞 With the summer upon us, we have decided to discuss the most common summer injuries and how they can occur.

1. Cuts and scrapes 🏃
As always there is a risk of slips, trips and falls particularly in children as they run and play. These can lead to minor injuries like scrapes and cuts, which can be treated at home by cleaning and dressing the wound.

2. Burns 🔥
Whether from the sun or accidently catching yourself on the BBQ, there is a higher risk of burns in the summertime. Take precautions such as wearing sun cream and ensuring children know not to play around with anything hot.

3. Insect bites and stings 🐝
Stings and bites are incredibly common in the summer months with the appearance of bees, wasps and mosquitos, mixed with everyone wanting to spend more time outside to enjoy the sun. Make sure to use antihistamines and clean the area, after removing the stinger.

4. Heat exhaustion/dehydration 🌡️
Exposure to extreme heat can lead to exhaustion. Hydrate regularly and take breaks in cool environments to avoid heat-related illnesses.

5. Broken bones 🩻
With more people trying new activities and participating in sports, there is a higher likelihood of more serious injuries occurring, such as broken bones. If you suspect someone has sustained this injury, use a splint to support it and seek medical assistance.

🤕 The PRICE method is used during the first 48–72 hours to treat soft tissue injuries, such as sprains. It involves five key steps: Protect, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. The aim is to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and prevent further injury during the early stages of healing.

✔ Protect:
You need to protect the injury from further harm. This can be done through the use of equipment, such as bandages, crutches, or a sling.

🛏 Rest:
Resting and allowing your sprain time to recover, will allow it to heal quicker.

🧊 Ice:
Apply an ice pack with a damp tea towel or triangular bandage between the skin and ice, to reduce pain and swelling.

Do not leave the ice pack for more than 20 minutes and do not repeat until the skin has returned to normal temperature (generally every 2-3 hours).

🩹 Compression:
Apply a firm bandage to the injury to reduce swelling.

Do not tighten enough to restrict blood flow.

✔ Elevation:
Keep your injury elevated, which will also help reduce swelling in your joint.
