Healthy workplaces can play an important role in supporting lung health and wellbeing.
Healthy Lungs for Life for workplaces helps organisations raise awareness of respiratory health through educational resources, workplace activities and practical information that encourages healthier environments and lifestyles.
Many people spend a large part of their lives at work. Air quality, ventilation, exposure to dusts or fumes, physical activity and smoke-free environments can all influence lung health over time. Through prevention, awareness and small practical changes, workplaces can help support healthier lungs for employees and wider communities.
The programme encourages organisations to make lung health part of wider workplace wellbeing and corporate social responsibility initiatives, while helping employees better understand how their working environment may affect breathing and long-term health.
Healthy Lungs for Life for workplaces supports organisations that want to promote healthier working environments and increase awareness of lung health among employees.
Workplaces can take part in different ways, depending on their setting, size and interests. This may include sharing educational materials, organising awareness activities, supporting smoke-free and active workplace initiatives, or encouraging conversations around air quality and wellbeing.
The programme is designed to be flexible and adaptable across a wide range of workplace settings and industries.
Healthy Lungs for Life is interested in working with organisations and employers that want to support workplace wellbeing and lung health awareness.
This may include workplace engagement activities, educational events, awareness campaigns or wellbeing initiatives linked to respiratory health and prevention.
Additional information about occupational lung conditions and workplace respiratory health is available through the European Lung Foundation information hub.
