Asthma at work

Two men having a tea breakEvery year in the UK, up to 3,000 people develop asthma because they are exposed to dangerous substances at work. This is called occupational asthma.

750,000 people with asthma find that things at work make their asthma worse.

Learn more about occupational asthma, its causes, how to prevent it, what employers need to do, how it is diagnosed and where you can go for more help. We also offer advice for people with asthma about careers and avoiding triggers at work for people who already have asthma. And we cover the Workplace Charter, a list of recommendations to reduce the impact of asthma in the workplace.
