can you actually get plasters to stay on for more than 2 seconds? i think they are the most pointless thing in a first aid kit to be honest. I think you only need a bandage to conform to HSE aid kits unless i am mistaken but mine is always in the car unless i am forced to carry extra useless gear with me to please some office worker:sneaky2:

Get the black insulating tape wrapped round the plaster and it will stay on then.

To be honest i have only used plasters once or twice because of some interfering busy body insisting i put one on to stop the cut getting dirty, hah what a joke that was. I think i wasnt even up to the first branch on the next tree and it was already flapping in the wind. I prefer to leave it as it is and let the air at it, always heals quicker that way imo.

Fabric tape plaster or rock climbing tape is my plaster!

There's no point in cheap plasters agreed!

But sometimes you get one on a finger that needs a bit of tape to stop blood, I'm not one for letting the blood just trickle down my arm, forget hygiene it's just looks unprofessional front a clients eye.

 

H&S can loose you contracts especially in the commercial world....

if i am up in the tree i wont even bother with it till i get the job done and come down, unless i have done myself some serious damage then its only a scratch as far as i am concerned and nothing to be fussed over. Silky cuts bleed a hell of a lot and usually look worse than they are so unless i cant move something or feel something then its business as usual with extra colour:lol:
