PLASTER RECORDS
Plaster Control Procedure
As per the Personal Hygiene Procedure:
-
All cuts and grazes on exposed skin shall be covered by a contrasting business-issued plaster
-
Business-issued plasters are Blue, waterproof and metal-detectable.
-
Please note other plasters, including skin-coloured plasters are not permitted in the Food Production Facility.
-
The issuance of a plaster is to be recorded and monitored in the Blue Plasters record by the Duty Manager. The details recorded should include the name of the person issuing the plaster, the recipient of the plaster, the time & date and if the plaster has been accounted for at the end of the shift.
-
Plasters require monitoring so they are traceable in the event of loss during food handling duties.
-
If a visitor, employee or entrant has a plaster prior to entry this should be declared so it can be monitored and accounted for on exit.
-
If plasters are not adequately controlled, they could become lost and contaminate products, lead to complaints or even enforcement action being taken.
