The use of workplace training (11%) and guidance (17%) to prevent respiratory ill health was uncommon. 980 (5.9%) had changed their job because it had affected their breathing. Increasing age (OR 1.02 per year age increase), completion language (English (OR 0.66), French (OR 0.39)), workplace (bakery (OR 1.64), mine (OR 1.91), sports centre (OR 3.03) and farm (OR 1.77)) and workplace training (OR 0.71) were significantly associated with this outcome. These workers also had more work-related symptoms (p&lt;0.001) and complained of more wheeze (p&lt;0.001) and nasal symptoms (p&lt;0.001). 919 (5.6%) workers with a more likely diagnosis of occupational asthma were more female, had less workplace guidance and training and had co-workers with health complaints.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This tool has reached real-world working populations and these findings identify the need for further awareness raising, education and social media interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/oemed-2025-110401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]],"date-time":"2026-06-10T17:20:18Z","timestamp":1781112018000},"page":"217-222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Using social media to highlight inhaled occupational exposures as a cause of lung disease"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5941-090X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Fishwick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Workplace Health, Health and Safety Laboratory, Buxton, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"De Matteis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imperial College London, London, UK"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Pediatric Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1205-1898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martie","family":"van Tongeren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Lung Foundation, Sheffield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4550-1437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dick J J","family":"Heederik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IRAS Division Environmental Epidemiology, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saskia","family":"Weldam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMC Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewelina","family":"Szmytke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lung Cancer Europe (LuCE), Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Denning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Lung Foundation, Sheffield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew David","family":"Curran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health and Safety Executive, Bootle, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pippa","family":"Powell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European Lung Foundation, Sheffield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026072205351191000_83.4.217.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(16)30424-6","article-title":"Occupational lung diseases: from old and novel exposures to effective preventive strategies","volume":"5","author":"Cullinan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet Respir Med"},{"key":"2026072205351191000_83.4.217.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqx167","article-title":"Missed opportunities to identify occupational asthma in acute secondary care","volume":"68","author":"Ellis","year":"2018","journal-title":"Occup Med"},{"key":"2026072205351191000_83.4.217.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjresp-2021-000938","article-title":"Barriers to identifying occupational asthma among primary healthcare professionals: a qualitative study","volume":"8","author":"Walters","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMJ Open Respir Res"},{"key":"2026072205351191000_83.4.217.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kql097"},{"key":"2026072205351191000_83.4.217.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rmed.2015.01.003"},{"key":"2026072205351191000_83.4.217.6","unstructured":"European lung foundation homepage.
