Allergy Objective
The Allergy Objective is a project by Quack Aquatics, aimed at educating and empowering not just aquatic facilities, but any business in an anaphylactic high risk environment.
A high risk environment is anywhere that may promote situations that could cause an anaphylactic attack. Typically these environments are sporting facilities, restaurants, tourist parks, child care facilities, beaches etc.
1 in 5 Australians are affected by anaphylaxis
The Safe Work Australia Code of Practice states that workplaces must adequately consider their first aid needs. This includes whether or not first aid kits should include an epinephrine auto-injector for the treatment of anaphylaxis or severe allergies.
