About Course

Asthma is a common long-term condition that affects the airways. With the right treatment and a few practical steps, most people with asthma can work normally. This course covers common triggers at work, how asthma treatment works, what colleagues and first aiders should do in an asthma attack, and when work itself might be the cause.
