Managing Allergens in the Workplace
The Anaphylaxis Campaign helpline team identified a gap in the available resources for managing severe allergies in the workplace.
For those with allergies entering the workplace for the first time, starting a new job, or working in an environment where steps are not currently being taken to minimise the risk of a reaction, there can be significant stress and anxiety. We have developed a guide for employees and employers to help people with severe allergies at work, including an adult allergy action plan.
