Managing respiratory risks can feel like the most challenging area of safety. As well as technical considerations, the long latency of work-related respiratory illnesses often means that problems aren’t detected until years later.
There are an estimated 19,000 new cases of breathing or lung problems each year that individuals thought were caused or made worse by work1 and approximately 12,000 workers die annually from lung diseases linked to past exposure at work2. It is essential for employers to understand the effects this type of exposure can cause and take steps to protect their workforce against it.
