Product Information

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. A choice of materials for plasters also helps you find the right plaster for the right application. A fabric plaster offers a durable and flexible option, although it’s not waterproof, so it’s not great for keeping a wound dry. Waterproof or washproof plasters are an alternative if you need something for swimming or perhaps for using on your hands. Not having to worry about your plaster coming off when you wash your hands or do the washing up is always convenient. If you have sensitive skin, you might also like plasters designed with that in mind. They’re gentler and avoid using the glue and other materials that might irritate your skin. 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. The blue plaster makes it obvious to both customers and to yourself that you are trying to avoid spreading bacteria into the cooking. By not wearing a plaster and thus having exposed wounds on your food preparation area, this can lead to a clear observation of a lowering of food hygiene standards. Wounds tend to gather more bacteria, this can be damaging for the health and safety of your company, as well as your reputation if you were to spread a strand of food poisoning. 3. Protect Yourself

All businesses in the UK have to provide their staff access to first aid supplies in line with their workplace hazards. Regarding catering and food processing businesses, the Health and Safety Executive requires all business owners to use blue colour plaster and dressing products, which offer high visibility against food to avoid cross-contamination. Plasters are an adhesive strip of sterile material for covering light cuts and wounds. The purpose of a plaster is to prevent further damage or infection to the wound. Blister plasters While a normal fabric or washproof plaster can further irritate a blister, blister plasters have a gel padding which helps to alleviate pressure from a blister and protect it from irritation. They form a barrier around the blister, preventing dirt and bacteria from contaminating it.Plasters are one of the most important items found in a first aid kit. They hold a wide variety of uses and are essential when dealing with many kinds of injuries. There are a wide range of plasters available, each with different benefits, so it can be difficult to discern which plaster is right to use. Sterochef blue plasters contain a 100% aluminium foil (20µm) strip that’s laminated to one side of the non-woven absorbent pad. This means that they are electro-magnetically detectable, so when food is scanned before distribution, any plaster contaminating a batch or food item will show up during quality control procedures. This ensures there is no risk of sending out unsafe food and triggering a costly batch recall. The plaster itself will allow you to protect yourself from getting an infected cut, scrape or scratch. Covering your injury or ailment with a blue plaster will help with covering your injury from outside influences and allows your wound to stay clean and have time to heal.

When in a professional cooking environment, the blue colour has been signalled as being able to be effective in being visible within your kitchen. This makes it obvious that you have a cut, as well as making it clear that you are following basic health and safety precautions. Why do you use blue plasters in cooking specifically? Food handlers use blue plasters almost universally. This is because blue is the colour most unlikely to match the colour of the food being prepared, so it will stand out and is the easiest to spot, even at a distance. Regular, flesh-coloured plasters found in most first aid kits are too similar a colour to most foods, so they could easily be missed.
