First Aid Kits

This refill pack is designed to bring a Reliance Medical Masterchef Catering BS8599-1 large first aid kit back to its full, compliant specification. Rather than replacing the entire kit, the refill restocks the consumable contents in line with the BS8599-1:2019 standard — the current benchmark for workplace first aid provision in the UK.

In a working catering kitchen, first aid supplies get used. Plasters, gloves, and dressings are drawn on regularly during a busy service, and a kit that isn't kept fully stocked offers little practical protection. Using a matched refill pack ensures the contents are correct for the kit design and that nothing is substituted with non-compliant items that could compromise a workplace inspection or an insurance assessment.

All contents are blue, which is the recognised colour convention for food service environments. Blue items are visually distinct and easier to spot if they accidentally enter food preparation areas — a straightforward hygiene safeguard that also supports due diligence. Practical operational benefits of this refill include:

• Blue colour-coded contents for food safety compliance and easy visual checks
• Comprehensive consumable restock covering dressings, gloves, plasters, and bandages
• Meets BS8599-1:2019, keeping the kit compliant for workplace inspections
• Nitrile gloves included, suitable for staff with latex sensitivities
• Guidance leaflet included to support first-aiders unfamiliar with the kit

The large kit specification this refill supports is generally recommended for low-risk workplaces with up to 100 employees, or higher-risk environments such as active kitchens with up to 25 staff. If your team size or risk profile sits outside that range, it is worth confirming you have the right kit size before restocking.

If you are unsure whether this refill matches your existing kit or want guidance on first aid provision requirements for your specific kitchen environment, the team is happy to help.

This is a fully stocked, HSE-compliant first aid kit intended for workplaces with up to 20 employees. It meets the Health and Safety Executive guidelines set out under the 1997 Approved Code of Practice, making it a straightforward choice for businesses looking to satisfy their legal duty of care without having to source and assemble contents independently.

The kit is housed in a compact Aura3 box manufactured by Reliance Medical. The box is made from 100% recycled and fully recyclable polypropylene, fitted with green safety clips, an integrated carry handle, and a secure airtight lid that keeps contents protected from dust and moisture. A wall mounting bracket is included, which suits catering environments where floor and worktop space is limited and a fixed, visible location is preferable for staff access during an incident.

Contents are suited to low-risk settings and cover the injuries most commonly encountered in commercial kitchens, offices, and similar workplaces:

• Assorted washproof plasters for minor cuts and abrasions
• Sterile eye pad dressings for splash or foreign body incidents
• Triangular bandages and safety pins for immobilisation and support
• Medium and large sterile wound dressings
• Cleansing wipes and disposable nitrile or vinyl gloves
• First aid guidance leaflet

It is worth noting that this kit is calibrated for low-risk environments. Kitchens with higher headcounts, more complex hazard profiles, or those requiring burn-specific provisions may need a supplementary kit or a higher-capacity option alongside this one.

If you are unsure whether this kit covers your specific workplace requirements or need guidance on how many kits a larger site should hold, the team is happy to help you work through it.

This first aid kit is put together specifically for catering workplaces and meets the Health and Safety Executive's requirements for low-risk environments with up to ten employees. The all-blue contents are a practical and important detail in a food preparation setting — blue dressings and plasters are far easier to spot against food than standard skin-tone alternatives, which is both a hygiene safeguard and a legal consideration for many food businesses.

The kit is housed in the compact Aura3 box, made from recycled and recyclable polypropylene. The case includes a secure airtight lid to keep contents clean and moisture-free — a real consideration in busy kitchen environments where steam, grease and humidity are constant factors. A built-in wall-mounting bracket means the kit can be fixed at a prominent, accessible point in the kitchen, and the integrated carry handle makes it easy to take to an incident if needed.

Inside, the kit covers the injuries most commonly seen in commercial kitchens — cuts, minor burns, and eye contamination. Contents include blue plasters in assorted sizes, triangular bandages, eye pad dressings, HSE-standard wound dressings, cleansing wipes, gloves, safety pins and a first-aid guidance leaflet.

• All-blue contents for food safety compliance in catering environments
• Meets HSE ACOP requirements for low-risk workplaces up to 10 persons
• Airtight, moisture-resistant case suitable for kitchen conditions
• Wall-mountable for clear visibility and fast access
• Covers cuts, burns and eye injuries — the most common kitchen incidents

For larger kitchen teams or higher-risk environments, a higher-capacity kit will be more appropriate to meet HSE guidance. If you're unsure which kit is right for your site and staff headcount, the team is happy to help you work through what's required.

The CoolTherm Burn Relief Dressing is a sterile hydrogel dressing designed for immediate first aid treatment of minor burns. At 10x10cm, it is a practical general-purpose size that covers most minor burn injuries to the hands, arms, legs or torso — areas particularly exposed in a busy kitchen environment. Each dressing is sold individually and is intended for single use.

The dressing works by absorbing and dissipating heat from the affected area. The sterile hydrogel helps cool the skin, reduce pain and limit further tissue damage in the critical moments immediately after a burn occurs. The soft, conformable non-woven layer provides a barrier against contamination while the dressing is in place, which is important in kitchen and food preparation environments where hygiene is a constant concern.

From a practical standpoint, these dressings are well suited to commercial kitchen first aid kits where burn injuries — however minor — are an occupational risk. Key points worth noting:

• Hydrogel construction helps cool the burn and ease pain quickly
• Non-woven layer conforms to the wound area without adhering
• Sterile and CE-approved under the EU Medical Device Directive
• Approximately five-year shelf life makes stock rotation straightforward
• Compact size suitable for wall-mounted or portable first aid kits

These dressings are appropriate for sites of any size as a standard first aid provision. Kitchens handling a high volume of staff or operating multiple cooking stations may want to maintain a larger stock. If you are reviewing your kitchen's overall first aid provision and are unsure what quantities or kit configuration suits your site, our team is happy to help you think it through.

BurnSoothe is a sterile hydrogel burn relief gel from Reliance Medical, intended for immediate first aid treatment of minor burns and scalds where the skin remains unbroken. It works by drawing heat away from the affected area, which helps interrupt the burning process and limit tissue damage in the critical moments after an injury occurs.

In a commercial kitchen, burns and scalds from hot surfaces, steam, and hot liquids are among the most common injuries staff encounter. Having an effective, easy-to-apply treatment to hand means the injury can be addressed immediately, without needing to locate ice or run water for a prolonged period. The gel is applied directly from the bottle onto the affected area and forms a cooling barrier over the skin that also provides pain relief, reduces the risk of contamination, and helps keep the site hydrated while healing begins.

Practical reasons this is commonly stocked in catering first aid kits:

• Clear, sterile hydrogel — non-adherent and will not stick to skin or dressings
• Alcohol-free and non-toxic, suitable for use on all age groups
• Controlled nozzle application reduces waste and keeps the process clean
• 125ml bottle provides multiple applications from a single unit
• Suitable for all minor burns where the skin is unbroken

The 125ml format is a practical size for a wall-mounted or counter first aid kit in a busy kitchen environment. It is worth reviewing your first aid kit provision regularly to ensure burn treatment is included alongside other catering-specific hazards. If you are unsure what first aid supplies are appropriate for your kitchen size or staff numbers, our team is happy to help you think it through.

This double eyewash station from Reliance Medical is a wall-mounted first aid unit designed to provide rapid eye irrigation in the event of a workplace exposure incident. It houses two eyewash bottles within a compact green cabinet with a translucent door, allowing staff to check stock levels at a glance without opening the unit.

In a commercial kitchen environment, where splashes from cleaning chemicals, hot liquids, or food preparation are an occupational reality, having an accessible eyewash point close to the work area can make a practical difference to how quickly treatment begins. The station is intended to complement — not replace — a full emergency eyewash facility where required by risk assessment, but for many kitchen and food service settings it provides a practical, cost-effective first response point that meets the guidance issued by the Health and Safety Executive.

• Compact wall-mounted cabinet keeps the unit accessible without occupying counter or floor space
• Translucent door allows quick visual stock checks without handling the unit
• Suitable for kitchens, food production areas, and general workplace use
• Meets HSE workplace first aid guidelines for eye injury response
• Lightweight unit at 2kg — straightforward to mount at an appropriate height near hazard areas

Installation is straightforward — the cabinet wall-mounts at a height accessible to all staff, ideally within easy reach of areas where chemical or splash exposure is most likely. No plumbing or electrical connection is required. The main ongoing consideration is checking and replacing eyewash bottles before their expiry date; the translucent door makes this part of a routine walk-round check.

This unit is well suited to smaller kitchens, food preparation areas, front-of-house service points, or any workplace where a compact, self-contained eyewash point is needed. For larger sites or areas with a higher assessed risk, a plumbed eyewash station or a unit with greater bottle capacity may be more appropriate — if you are unsure what your risk assessment requires, it is worth checking before specifying.

If you have questions about workplace first aid provision or what level of eyewash facility suits your site, we are happy to help you work through the options.

This blue washproof tape is a standard first aid consumable used in commercial catering and food service environments. It is designed to secure dressing pads and wound coverings in place, providing a firm, water-resistant hold during food preparation and service work.

The blue colouring is particularly relevant in catering settings, where blue is the standard colour-coded choice for first aid supplies. Blue materials are more easily identifiable against most food products, supporting contamination control procedures and making it straightforward to spot should any part of a dressing become dislodged during service.

• Washproof construction holds securely in damp or humid working conditions
• Blue colouring supports food safety and contamination control protocols
• Suitable for use with standard dressing pads as part of a workplace first aid kit
• Compact roll format stores neatly within a first aid kit or wall-mounted cabinet

This tape is a straightforward, low-cost consumable suited to any food service or catering business maintaining a compliant workplace first aid kit. It is worth checking your kit regularly to ensure tape and dressings are within date and available in sufficient quantity for your team size.

If you have questions about first aid kit compliance requirements for catering businesses, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

An emergency foil blanket is a standard item in any well-stocked commercial first aid kit. This adult-size blanket from Reliance Medical is a lightweight, single-use thermal wrap designed to retain body heat and provide protection from wind and rain in an emergency situation. At 55g, it adds negligible weight to a first aid kit but provides meaningful protection when it matters.

The heat-reflective metallic surface is the functional core of this product — it reflects radiated body heat back towards the patient, helping to prevent or slow the onset of hypothermia while awaiting further medical assistance. It is not a treatment in itself, but a recognised first-response measure used widely across catering, hospitality, events, and outdoor service environments where staff may be exposed to cold conditions or where customers may become unwell.

From a practical standpoint, these blankets are disposable and single-use, which keeps hygiene considerations straightforward — there is no laundering or refolding required after use. They are compact enough to store in a wall-mounted first aid kit, a site vehicle, or a portable kit carried by front-of-house or outdoor event staff.

• Retains over 90% of body heat through reflective metallic surface
• Protects against wind and rain as well as cold
• Disposable and single-use — no cleaning or reuse required
• Lightweight at 55g — suitable for portable and wall-mounted kits

These are well suited to hospitality venues, event catering operations, outdoor markets, and any site where staff or guests may be exposed to cold weather. If you are reviewing your first aid provisions more broadly or are unsure how many to stock relative to your site size or team numbers, we are happy to help you think it through.

This is a 500ml sterile saline eyewash bottle intended for immediate first aid response to eye injuries or contamination in the workplace. Sterile saline solution is the recommended rinsing agent for eye irrigation, and having a dedicated bottle within easy reach is a straightforward, practical measure for any commercial kitchen or food production environment.

In a busy kitchen, eye injuries can occur quickly — from splashes of hot liquid, cleaning chemicals, or airborne particles. Rapid access to an eyewash station in those first few seconds genuinely matters. This bottle is wall mountable, keeping it visible, accessible, and away from general clutter at the point of need rather than buried in a first aid kit drawer.

• Sterile saline solution suitable for immediate eye irrigation
• Wall mountable for fixed, accessible placement near hazard areas
• Aligns with HSE first aid recommendations for workplace eye care
• Compact size fits comfortably within a first aid station or wall bracket
• Single-use design supports hygiene and avoids cross-contamination

For most commercial kitchens, a single bottle positioned near the cooking line or chemical storage area is a sensible starting point. Higher-risk environments — such as sites handling strong cleaning agents or working with hot oil at volume — may benefit from multiple mounting points to reduce response time across a larger kitchen floor.

If you are putting together or reviewing your kitchen's first aid provision and want a straightforward steer on what's required, our team is happy to help.

This body fluid clean-up kit from Reliance Medical is a practical first aid consumable designed for the safe containment and disposal of body fluid spillages, including blood, vomit, and urine. It is supplied in a compact black and yellow integral Aura box and contains enough materials for two separate applications.

In a commercial kitchen or food service environment, a body fluid incident needs to be dealt with quickly, safely, and in a way that meets basic hygiene and health and safety requirements. Having a dedicated kit to hand means staff do not need to improvise, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and keeping the area out of service for as short a time as possible.

• Contains materials for two complete clean-up applications
• Covers common spillage types: blood, vomit, and urine
• Compact, wall-mountable box suitable for kitchens, front-of-house, and welfare areas
• Supports compliance with basic workplace hygiene and first aid obligations
• Single-use application materials minimise cross-contamination risk

This kit is well suited to smaller catering operations, food service counters, and welfare facilities where incidents are infrequent but the means to respond safely must always be available. Busier sites, or those with higher footfall such as large event catering, hospitals, or care catering operations, may benefit from stocking multiple kits or a higher-capacity option.

If you are unsure how many kits your site requires or want guidance on first aid consumable stock levels, the team is happy to help you work that through.

These alcohol free wound cleansing wipes from Reliance Medical are individually wrapped in single-use sachets, designed for external use on and around minor wounds. Each wipe is suitable for cleaning cuts, grazes, and similar injuries without the stinging or tissue irritation that alcohol-based alternatives can cause — a practical consideration in a busy kitchen environment where staff may need prompt, straightforward first aid.

For commercial kitchens, having a reliable stock of individually wrapped wipes in the first aid kit is a standard requirement. The single-use sachet format keeps each wipe sterile until needed and avoids cross-contamination, which matters in a food-safe environment. The pack of 100 provides a sensible supply for most sites without excessive storage demands.

• Alcohol free formula — gentler on skin and suitable for use on sensitive or broken tissue
• Individually wrapped sachets maintain sterility until point of use
• Compact packaging fits neatly within standard first aid kits
• Suitable for cleaning in and around wounds before dressing

These wipes are well suited to any commercial kitchen, café, or food service operation maintaining a compliant first aid kit. If you're stocking or restocking a first aid station and want to confirm the right consumables for your site, the team is happy to help.

This is a sterile eye dressing designed for first aid use following an eye injury. It consists of a conforming wound pad with an attached elasticated loop bandage, intended to cover and protect the affected eye prior to professional medical attention.

In a commercial kitchen or workplace setting, eye injuries can occur quickly and without warning — from splashes, debris, or contact with foreign objects. Having a properly specified eye dressing to hand means a first aider can apply immediate, appropriate protection without improvising. The loop bandage design means no pins, tape, or tied ends are needed, which reduces the risk of causing further discomfort or movement to the injury during application.

Practical advantages for a workplace first aid kit include:

• Sterile and individually packaged, ready for immediate use
• Elasticated loop secures the dressing without additional fixings
• HSE compliant, suitable for inclusion in statutory first aid kits
• Lightweight and compact, takes up minimal space in a kit
• Fast to apply, which matters in a high-pressure environment

This dressing is suited to any workplace where an eye dressing is required to meet HSE first aid kit regulations — including catering operations, food production sites, and hospitality venues. It is a single-use consumable and should be replaced after use or if the sterile packaging is compromised.

If you are building or restocking a workplace first aid kit and are unsure which items are required for your site size or risk level, the team is happy to help you put together the right kit.

Dependaplast blue food area plasters are a standard first-aid requirement in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and catering operations. The bright blue colour is chosen specifically because it shows up clearly against the vast majority of food products, making a dislodged plaster easy to identify and remove before food reaches service or packing.

Each plaster incorporates a thin aluminium strip behind the dressing pad, making it detectable by standard metal detection equipment. For operations running HACCP-compliant food safety procedures, this provides an additional layer of protection alongside visual checks. The 75x50mm size gives reasonable coverage for finger and hand injuries, which are among the most common in busy prep environments.

From a practical standpoint, these plasters are well suited to the rigours of kitchen work:

• Washproof backing holds firm through regular hand-washing and wet prep tasks
• Flexible, breathable material stays comfortable during long shifts
• Low-allergy adhesive reduces the risk of skin irritation with repeated use
• Bright blue colour aids rapid visual contamination checks at any stage of prep
• Metal-detectable construction supports existing detection systems in production kitchens

These are a straightforward addition to any commercial kitchen first-aid kit and are commonly stocked by catering operations as a matter of course. For higher-volume sites or operations requiring a broader range of plaster sizes, it is worth considering a multi-size assortment alongside this pack.

If you are putting together a full first-aid kit for a new kitchen or reviewing your food safety consumables, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Dependaplast Advanced fabric plasters are a practical first aid consumable well suited to commercial kitchen environments, where staff work with water, steam, and frequent hand washing throughout service. The assorted pack covers a range of common wound sizes, making it a sensible choice for a standard kitchen first aid kit.

The plasters are made from a thin, elastic fabric that stretches in multiple directions, which means they hold securely over knuckles, finger joints, and other areas that flex during normal kitchen work. A hydrophilic polymer coating makes the fabric water-repellent and washproof, so they remain in place through handwashing and incidental moisture exposure — a practical requirement in any food preparation environment.

The zinc oxide adhesive provides a firm hold without leaving residue on removal, which matters when staff need to change plasters quickly during a shift. Key practical points include:

• Elastic fabric moves with joints and skin folds without lifting
• Washproof coating maintains adhesion through repeated handwashing
• Clean removal leaves no adhesive marks on skin
• Assorted sizes suit a range of minor cuts and abrasions
• 100-pack quantity supports ongoing kitchen first aid stock

These plasters are a standard consumable rather than a specialist product, but it is worth ensuring your first aid kit meets current HSE requirements for your kitchen size and staffing levels. If you are stocking or restocking a full first aid kit and are unsure what else is required, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Dependaplast blue food-area plasters are a practical first-aid consumable designed specifically for use in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and catering environments. The distinctive blue colour is chosen because it contrasts clearly against the vast majority of food items, making any displaced plaster straightforward to identify during prep or service. Each plaster also incorporates a thin aluminium strip behind the dressing pad, which means they are detectable by standard in-line metal detection equipment — an important feature for sites operating under food safety management systems such as HACCP.

The plasters are made from a soft, flexible, washproof material that holds reliably through hand-washing and general kitchen work. The low-allergy adhesive makes them suitable for staff who may have sensitive skin, and the breathable backing helps keep the covered area comfortable during a full shift. The box of 100 contains an assorted range of sizes, covering the most common wound types encountered in a working kitchen environment.

• Blue colouration for visual detection against food items
• Metal-detectable strip supports HACCP and food safety compliance
• Washproof and flexible for use during active kitchen work
• Low-allergy adhesive suitable for sensitive skin
• Assorted sizes to cover a range of minor injuries

These are a standard requirement for first-aid kits in food-handling environments and are well suited to any commercial catering operation that needs to demonstrate due diligence around contamination control. If you have questions about first-aid kit requirements for your site, we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Dependaplast fingertip plasters are a purpose-made first aid consumable for food-handling environments. The bright blue colouring is deliberate — blue is rarely found naturally in food, which makes a displaced plaster straightforward to spot against most ingredients, surfaces, and packaging materials during preparation or service.

Each plaster incorporates a thin aluminium strip behind the dressing pad, making it detectable by standard metal detection equipment used in food production and catering facilities. This adds a second layer of contamination control alongside the visual identification, which is particularly relevant in settings where food safety audits or HACCP procedures are in place.

The flexible, washproof construction holds up well in active kitchen conditions — repeated hand-washing, contact with moisture, and the physical demands of prep work. A low-allergy adhesive makes them suitable for staff with sensitive skin, and the breathable backing keeps the covered area comfortable during a full shift.

• Bright blue colour for rapid visual detection in food environments
• Metal-detectable strip supports HACCP and food safety compliance
• Washproof and flexible — stays secure through active kitchen use
• Low-allergy adhesive suitable for sensitive skin
• Fingertip shape provides reliable coverage on a commonly injured area

These are well suited to commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, bakeries, and any catering operation where contamination risk management is taken seriously. Supplied in a box of 50, they are a practical stock item for any compliant kitchen first aid kit.

If you are reviewing your first aid supplies more broadly or want to confirm the right products for your site's requirements, the team is happy to help.

Dependaplast blue food area plasters are designed specifically for use in commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, and catering environments where contamination control is a practical and regulatory concern. The bright blue colour is chosen because it contrasts clearly against the vast majority of food products, making a displaced plaster straightforward to spot during prep, packing, or line checks.

Each plaster incorporates a thin aluminium strip behind the dressing pad, making it detectable by standard metal detection equipment used in food production and catering operations. This supports due diligence procedures and reduces the risk of a contamination incident going unnoticed. The plasters are washproof and built to stay in place through the hand washing, surface contact, and general handling that comes with a busy kitchen shift.

• Blue colour chosen specifically for visibility against food
• Metal-detectable strip supports food safety due diligence
• Washproof construction suitable for wet kitchen environments
• Low-allergy adhesive suitable for regular, prolonged wear
• Breathable backing helps keep skin comfortable during long shifts

These are a practical first-aid kit staple for any site handling open food — from restaurant and hotel kitchens to catering production units and staff canteens. A box of 100 provides a reasonable working stock for most operations, though higher-footfall sites with large brigade teams may want to keep additional boxes to hand.

If you are putting together a broader first-aid provision for your kitchen or have questions about food safety compliance requirements, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Dependaplast Blue Food Area Plasters are anchor-style plasters produced specifically for use in food-handling and catering environments. The distinctive blue colour is chosen because it contrasts clearly against the majority of food types, making any displaced plaster straightforward to identify during prep, packing, or service. Each plaster incorporates a thin aluminium strip behind the dressing pad, making it detectable by standard metal detection equipment — an important feature for any kitchen operating under formal food safety procedures or HACCP requirements.

In a busy kitchen environment, plasters need to stay put through repeated handwashing, contact with moisture, and extended wear during a full shift. These are made from a flexible, washproof material with a breathable backing that helps keep the skin comfortable throughout service. The low-allergy adhesive makes them a reasonable choice for staff with sensitive skin.

Practical benefits for food-safe first-aid provision include:

• Blue colour provides clear visual contrast against most foods and surfaces
• Metal-detectable construction supports HACCP and food safety compliance
• Washproof and flexible — stays in place through a working shift
• Low-allergy adhesive suitable for regular daily wear
• Supplied in a 50-pack, practical for stocking a commercial first-aid kit

These plasters are well suited to commercial kitchens, food production areas, bakeries, and catering operations where contamination control is taken seriously. A single box of 50 is a sensible starting point for a small kitchen first-aid kit; higher-volume sites or multi-kitchen operations may want to consider keeping several boxes in stock to avoid running short during busy periods.

If you're reviewing your kitchen's first-aid and hygiene provisions more broadly, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.

Conforming bandages are a standard component of any well-stocked workplace first aid kit. The Reliform bandage from Reliance Medical is a soft, lightweight open-weave bandage designed to secure wound dressings in place or provide light compression support for minor sprains and strains. Each bandage extends considerably beyond its resting length, which allows it to wrap neatly around irregular body contours such as elbows, knees, and wrists without restricting movement or causing discomfort.

In a commercial kitchen environment, minor cuts, burns, and sprains are among the most common workplace incidents. Having a reliable stock of conforming bandages means a wound can be dressed quickly and correctly, keeping staff compliant with food safety requirements and returning to work with a properly secured dressing that will stay in place throughout a busy shift. The bandage can be secured with a safety pin or surgical tape once applied.

• Individually wrapped to maintain hygiene until point of use
• Soft, lightweight construction comfortable for extended wear
• Conforms well to joints and uneven body contours
• Suitable for securing dressings or providing light sprain support
• Supplied in a pack of ten, practical for restocking first aid kits

Each bandage comes individually wrapped, which is important in catering and food production settings where hygiene standards around first aid supplies are taken seriously. The pack of ten provides a sensible restocking quantity for a busy site.

If you have questions about first aid kit requirements for your site or want to make sure you have the right supplies in place, our team is happy to help.

Fingerstalls are a practical hygiene and first aid requirement in any commercial kitchen. When a member of staff has a dressed or bandaged finger, work often needs to continue — a fingerstall provides a secure, waterproof covering that keeps the dressing clean and dry while preventing any contact between the wound or covering and food or surfaces.

These blue fingerstalls from Reliance Medical are made from a firm, flexible plastic that slips over the finger and is held in place by an elasticated loop. The fit is secure enough to remain in place through washing, food preparation, and handling wet ingredients — which matters in a kitchen environment where a loose fingerstall creates its own contamination risk.

The blue colouring is deliberate. In line with food safety best practice, blue is used because it is not a colour that occurs naturally in most foods, making any dislodged stall immediately visible against food, surfaces, or drains. Each stall is also individually wrapped, which supports hygiene standards and keeps the pack clean in storage.

• Blue colouring aids detection if a stall is dislodged during food prep
• Elasticated loop provides a secure fit during wet and active kitchen tasks
• Individually wrapped stalls maintain cleanliness in the pack
• Assorted sizes in each pack to suit most fingers across a team
• Suitable for use alongside standard first aid dressings and bandages

These are well suited to any catering operation as part of a broader first aid and food hygiene protocol. If you need guidance on stocking first aid supplies appropriate to your kitchen size or team, our team is happy to advise.
