My workplace exposure checklist – A list of points to discuss with your doctor
Working in certain industries, such as construction, mining and quarrying, manufacturing and tunnelling, can increase your risk of breathing in hazardous dusts, (including silica dust), fumes, gases, or vapours. It is important to discuss your workplace and exposures with your doctor. Even if you are not experiencing any symptoms, your doctor should be aware of where you work, as it can take a long time for illness to develop.
This checklist is a guide to help you prepare for your appointment and share this important information with your doctor.
