Measures can be taken to prevent occupational respiratory and lung disease.
Workers should avoid smoking because it can increase the risk of developing an occupational respiratory or lung disease.Workers that are at risk of breathing harmful particles should use a respirator. This device is worn over the mouth and nose and cleans the air before it is breathed into the body. Respirators should be fitted properly and the worker should learn how to use it correctly. It is important to clean the respirator after each use.
Workers that have been exposed to harmful substances should consult with a supervisor to establish procedures that decrease or eliminate the risk of exposure to these substances. Proper ventilation should be provided where a risk exists. Ventilation systems can remove harmful substances from the air. Work practices and changes should be put into place to reduce all exposure.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute makes the following recommendations to avoid inhaling harmful substances that cause disease:
Avoid smoking to decrease the likelihood of getting an occupational lung disease
Educate workers about the risks of occupational lung disease
Wear protective gear such as masks to avoid inhaling irritants or particles
Businesses can hire occupational health experts to examine the work environment for possible risks that may be present
Get a lung function evaluation in a physician’s office
