Good morning all,
Would someone who has a peanut allergy be considered under the Equality
Act 2010?
I have an employee who states they have a severe peanut allergy,
recently sent an email to everyone in the department asking them if they
eat nuts or foods which contain nuts or nut dust to keep a 7 meter
distance from her. This is causing a lot of consternation with people
working on the same floor.
While I wish to be sympathetic, the department is very a busy highly
stressful one with people grazing at their desks all the time.
I would appreciate your thoughts and management experience of such
cases.
Many thanks
Grant
