Preventing Occupational Lung Disease in Manufacturing: Effective Fume Control Solutions

Occupational lung diseases, particularly from welding fume exposure, pose serious health risks to workers in manufacturing. Every year, in Great Britain alone, over 190,000 workers face potential health hazards such as cancer, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Essential control measures include comprehensive guidance on hazard assessment, measurement tools, and effective training. Join us in the fight against occupational lung disease and promote safer work environments. Explore our resources and case studies at www.breathefreely.org.uk.
