Targets and initiatives

It is estimated that 15% of COPD may be caused by work.  HSE are planning to raise awareness of the disease and improve good practice in industries where there is or may be risk. 

HSE will work with a wide range of stakeholders including industry, trade unions and trade associations to tackle COPD and make the workplace safer.
