The most common occupational respiratory problem is asthma, it can be caused if an employer does not provide adequate protection from dust, gas, fumes etc.

Symptoms of asthma include:

• Shortness of breath

• Wheezing

• Tight chest

• Coughing

You may be able to identify occupational asthma by looking out for various indicators. These include:

• A disrupted sleep due to increased symptoms over the course of the working week

• Your symptoms are heightened when you are at work, or after you finish work

• Symptoms improve when not working – this may be identified when you are on a holiday or over the weekends.
