Product Information

Food handlers in professional kitchens are required by law to follow personal hygiene procedures before, during and after all food preparation processes. This is to maximise food safety standards and reduce the risk of contamination or the spread of infection to the people consuming the food. Good personal hygiene among food handlers, including blue plasters, will directly affect consumers, whether it’s a takeaway pizza, grab-and-go sandwich, or luxury meal in a restaurant.

By not using blue plasters, it means there is a greater chance for you to end up contaminating your food if they accidentally slip off. If this happens, there is also a chance that you could get prosecuted, meaning for your sake, and the sake of your business is it important to ensure adequate health and safety policies are in place, including having blue plasters in your first aid kit at work. A cut is one of the most common injuries you can get- especially within the food hygiene and preparation realm- therefore, being able to correctly protect yourself and your customers is vital. If the skin around a blister is red or feels hot, or if the blister is filled with green or yellow pus, you should seek medical advice before applying a plaster.It is therefore important to ensure blue plasters are worn in the workplacet, and that you maintain great cleaning standards all year round – especiallyas health and safety inspectors can turn up unannounced. Blisters are just like any other wound and require protection from dirt and bacteria to prevent infection. Blister plasters are breathable and moisture-retentive and help to keep blisters clean, ensuring an efficient healing process. The legislation, as stated in the Food Safety Act 1990 and endorsed by the Food Standards Agency, goes as follows: Fabric plasters Fabric plasters are durable, breathable and can easily stretch toconformwith body parts. While their strong adhesive allows them to provide a high level of protection over a long period of time, they are likely to fall off when wet and won’t keep a wound dry. You can choose plasters in fun colours and patterns too, especially if you’re looking for kids’ plasters. Getting hurt can seem a lot less upsetting if it means getting a plaster in a favourite colour. Children’s plasters don’t just offer fun patterns, though. They’re also usually washproof and gentle on delicate skin, so they’re practical too.
