Many occupations involve an environment that may provoke lung diseases. This should be kept in mind whenever lung disease is diagnosed for detection of an occupational factor requires steps toward prevention, and compensation may be due the patient. Counselling the patient on the administrative steps to be taken often requires the advice of the occupational physician, the consultant physician or specialised services in order to maintain the rights of the patient.
