HSE estimates that each year between 1,500 and 3,000 people in Great Britain develop occupational asthma. This rises to 7,000 cases a year if you include asthma made worse by work (work-related asthma).
The cost to society is estimated to be up to £1.1 billion over 10 years. Asthma can ruin lives. Some sufferers become so disabled they cannot work again.
