If you work in the food or catering industry, ensure that your workplace’s first aid kit has blue plasters, as they’re a requirement to comply with UK Food Hygiene Regulations. Regular, flesh-coloured plasters found in most first aid kits are too similar a colour to most foods, so they could easily be missed.Sterochef blue plasters contain a 100% aluminium foil (20µm) strip that’s laminated to one side of the non-woven absorbent pad. This ease of detection is further enforced by the presence of a thin metal strip within the plaster which enables food to be scanned remotely by metal detectors.
