As part of our Life Alongside COVID-19 campaign, the Asthma Society has developed resources and guidelines to support people with asthma and COPD as they readjust to working life during the COVID-19 pandemic
Back2Work Checklists:
We have created two Back2Work Checklists to ensure all people with asthma and COPD are supported in the workplace.
- Our Back2Work Checklist for employees, which is designed to support people with asthma and COPD returning to work during the COVID-19 pandemic, will help you manage your condition and also remind you of how to keep safe in the workplace in light of COVID-19. Click here to download this checklist.
- Our Back2Work Checklist for employers will help employers put a plan in place to ensure staff members who have asthma or COPD, remain safe in the workplace. Click here to download this checklist.
