A mum of a Glasgow teen who suffered a fatal asthma attack at work wants to see inhalers added to first aid kits at all work establishments. 

Lauren Reid, a 19-year-old chef from Dennistoun, tragically died in February 2020 after a flare-up led to a cardiac arrest.

Now her mum Elaine Cunningham hopes to prevent the tragedy from repeating itself. 

She has launched a campaign to implement wider emergency access to Salbutamol without prescription, the Sunday Mail reports. 

Elaine told the paper: "I don’t want any other parent to feel the way I do.”

The mum previously told the Glasgow Times Lauren had suffered from asthma since she was born.

She said: "Lauren had her inhaler with her everywhere, until the one day she went without them and this happened. It's so hard not to blame yourself."

Glasgow Times:

The 19-year-old was working a shift at Gin71 in Glasgow when she experienced the attack.

Elaine has launched a campaign named 'Lauren's Law' to ensure emergency access to inhaler kits in commercial food premises. 

A website set up to support the plea added "recognised ‘triggers’ such as flour, fumes, heat, dust, odours, and a lack of fresh air" are common in catering industries. 

Lauren's Law has also been given support from Unichef, the national chef's union.

It added: "We know that Laurens death should not be forgotten and, in her honour, we need to ensure that needless deaths in the workplace should never happen.

"Lauren died doing the job she loved, help us to ensure that in the 21st century we do all we can to prevent incidents such as this."
