Respiratory hazards

Respiratory hazards are substances or conditions that can harm your lungs or breathing. These include dust, fumes, gases, or vapors from chemicals, construction materials, or smoke. Breathing in these pollutants can cause immediate issues like coughing or shortness of breath, or long-term health problems such as asthma, bronchitis, or lung diseases. It’s important to use proper protective equipment and work in well-ventilated areas to reduce the risk. Recognizing these hazards helps prevent respiratory problems and maintain healthy breathing.
