The Sterogrip blue elasticated tubular bandage provides limb and joint support in a blue detectable colour for food and catering environments. The blue colour ensures visual detection if the bandage enters a food preparation area, meeting HACCP food safety requirements for catering first aid provision.
Compliance Summary: Blue detectable bandages are required in food handling and catering environments under HACCP food safety protocols. The blue colour provides immediate visual identification against food products.
Why does a bandage need to be blue in a kitchen?
Blue is the least common natural food colour. A blue bandage that falls into food during preparation is immediately visible against virtually all food products. HACCP food safety protocols require blue detectable dressings and bandages in food handling environments to prevent contamination.
Can I use standard bandages in a food environment?
Standard white or skin-coloured bandages are difficult to detect if they fall into food. HACCP protocols require blue detectable dressings and bandages in food preparation areas. Use blue bandages, plasters, and dressings in all kitchen and food handling environments.
