Occupational respiratory lung disease remains common and complex with up to 6,000 new cases being diagnosed each year (including occupational asthma). It continues to be a subject with a high public profile. While the classic diseases of dusty occupations have not yet disappeared, they may be on the decline.

In contrast, mortality rates due to the chronic nonmalignant pulmonary conditions including those characterised by airflow limitation are increasing in the industrialised countries of the world. They are also responsible for high rates of morbidity and extended periods of disablement.

This course is suited to Occupational Health Physicians or anyone providing occupational health services.
