IOSH highlights dangers of occupational asthma

Occupational asthma is the UK’s fasting growing workplace disease and affects between 1,500 and 3,000 people each year. The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is reminding employers of the need to protect their workers from this growing problem.
