Occupational Asthma is a lung condition that is triggered or aggravated by exposure to harmful substances in the workplace. Substances such as chemicals, dust, and fumes can cause asthma attacks or other respiratory issues over time.
Occupational asthma is caused by inhaling irritants at work, such as dust, fumes, and chemicals. People who work in industries like construction, painting, and food manufacturing may be at risk of developing asthma due to exposure to these harmful substances.
The symptoms of occupational asthma are similar to general asthma but are specifically triggered by work-related exposures. Common symptoms include:
To make a claim, you must demonstrate that your asthma is caused by exposure to harmful substances in the workplace. Evidence of exposure, along with medical records confirming the diagnosis, is necessary for a successful claim.
