For animal-related occupations, especially animal farming, the increasing industrialisation of activities was recognised as an issue due to the increase in size of industrialised farms and numbers of animals, facilitating the spread of diseases. Intensive breeding and technological changes in agriculture are also putting workers at risk of being exposed to organic dust. The increased resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics was another risk mentioned in the literature and tackled in several Member States; this development puts care professionals as well as workers in the agricultural sector at risk because of intensive breeding and widespread use of antibiotics. It was reported that the high number of animals kept in husbandry may lead to bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
