| Normal 0 false false false EN-US KO X-NONE When a person is diagnosed as having occupational asthma, it can result in serious socio-economic consequences not only for the workers but also for the employer and the healthcare system. The employee has to be taken off job immediately to prevent any further damage to his health. And, the probability of being re-employed is lower for those suffering from OA as compared to those suffering from normal asthma. The employer not only pays compensation to the employee, but will also have to spend a considerable amount of time and energy and funds for hiring and training new personnel. <ref>http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003443.htm</ref><ref>[http://www.erj.ersjournals.com/cgi/content/abstract/7/5/969/ Medicolegal and compensation aspects of occupational asthma.] Dewitte JD, Chan-Yeung M, Malo J-L.</ref>
