If Yes, then...

Although there is not a specific policy related to Anaphylaxis management in the workplace, in Victoria the new "The Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004" came into effect on July 2005.

This “act is built on five key principles:

• All people – workers and the general public – should have the highest level of protection against risks to health and safety;
• Those who manage or control things that create health and safety risks in the workplace are responsible for eliminating those risks. Where they can’t be eliminated, they are responsible for reducing those risks so far as is reasonably practicable;
• Employers should be proactive in promoting health and safety in the workplace;
• Information and ideas about risks and how to control them should be shared between employees and employers; and
• Employees are entitled – and should be encouraged – to be represented in relation to health and safety issues.”
