Staff Allergy
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2017 11:56 am
Hi,
I just want to know what duty of care a director has to staff members.
I have developed a peanut allergy and spoke to my director about it a week ago.
Today while i was working a child had musli with peanuts for breakfast and breathed on me.
I warned my director and she said to let know how i go.
An hour later my lips started to go numb and tingle and my throat was closing up.
My director got angry at me and then phoned around for a casual to replace me. She then asked if i was able to stay until 2pm (was 11am at the time) in which i said no and she got even more angry.
As i was having a reaction i was wondering should my director have let me leave the premise to drive myself to hospital?
I proceeded to wait for my mum in the car.
But doesnt she have a duty of care for here staff and should not have let me leave.
