CS Health urges workers to ‘Look after your lungs’

Coal Services NSW has launched a respiratory health campaign urging coal miners to stay vigilant about protecting their lungs.

The campaign was developed in support of the NSW Coal Industry Respiratory Health Standard, released in August 2024. The campaign aims to raise awareness about respiratory health and equip workers with the knowledge to protect their lungs effectively.

Key components of the campaign include promoting essential practices such as avoiding smoking and vaping, wearing properly fitted respiratory protection, understanding dust sources, following safe work practices to minimise dust exposure, and taking steps to enhance overall lung health.

To support this initiative, CS Health has developed a range of educational materials, including videos, posters, and fact sheets, which are available on the Coal Services website.
