Managing the Hidden Risk of Work related Asthma 1

Despite there being an estimated 300 (or more) substances in the workplace that cause or exacerbate asthma – and up to 11 million employees per year exposed to these substances – occupational asthma continues to be an underrecognized and underreported condition. Here, Dr. Ronda McCarthy (national medical director of medical surveillance services) and Dr. Deepa Rajakrishnan (director of medical operations), provide critical information on the risks and costs (both direct and indirect) of work-related asthma and help employers understand how – with the help of an occupational health partner like Concentra® – many cases of occupational asthma can actually be prevented.
