Plasters

Plasters are an essential part of every workplace first aid kit, helping you cover cuts and minor wounds quickly and hygienically. This range includes blue visually detectable plasters ideal for food handling areas, as well as waterproof and hypoallergenic options for sensitive skin. Designed for commercial kitchens, cafes, bars, hotels and food production sites, these plasters support HACCP compliance and staff safety. Assorted sizes and shapes make it easy to protect fingers, knuckles and other awkward areas while maintaining a secure seal during busy service.

• Blue visually detectable plasters suitable for food preparation and catering environments.
• Waterproof adhesive plasters that stay in place during frequent handwashing and cleaning.
• Hypoallergenic options designed to minimise skin irritation for staff with sensitivities.
• Assorted sizes and shapes to cover fingers, knuckles and general small wounds effectively.
• Convenient bulk packs of 100 plasters to keep first aid stations and kits fully stocked.
• Easy-peel backing and strong adhesive for fast application in high-pressure situations.

How to choose the right Plasters

• Consider your work environment, choosing blue detectable plasters for any food handling or catering operation to support HACCP requirements.
• Match the level of water exposure, selecting waterproof plasters where frequent handwashing or wet cleaning is part of daily routines.
• Check for hypoallergenic materials if staff have sensitive skin or a history of reactions to standard adhesives.
• Choose assorted packs with multiple sizes and shapes to cover fingers, knuckles and larger minor wounds across your team.
• Review pack quantities and stocking levels so first aid kits, wall stations and mobile kits are always fully supplied.
• Ensure plasters are compatible with your existing first aid kits and dispensers for quick access during service.

Care and maintenance

• Store plasters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve adhesive strength.
• Regularly check expiry dates on boxes and rotate stock so older plasters are used first and out-of-date items are removed.
• Keep first aid kits organised, replacing used plasters immediately after incidents to maintain readiness.
• Ensure staff clean and dry the skin before application to improve adhesion and reduce infection risk.
• Train team members to change plasters frequently, especially after washing hands or when the dressing becomes soiled.
• Dispose of used plasters in appropriate waste bins to maintain hygiene in kitchens, bars and service areas.
