Our overall recommendations for the effective prevention and management of workrelated asthma are
- Avoidance of exposure to causative agents or, if this is not possible then to reduce exposure
- Screening and monitoring (surveillance) of endangered workers (workers at high-risk sites or with a high degree of individual susceptibility)
- Comprehensive assessment of disease in suspected cases (diagnostics)
- Pharmacological treatment of people with obstructive ventilation patterns, nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness (NSBHR) or work-related asthma symptoms
