Prevention of occupational asthma in apprentices in high-risk sectors

Abstract

To adopt behaviours oriented towards the prevention of occupational asthma and rhinitis, it is important to know the health risks associated with different training and work environments. The IRSST has published a fact sheet that presents these two respiratory diseases in a general way, as well as six other fact sheets that present the risk factors more specifically and propose means of protection adapted to six occupational environments.
