Abstract
The article is aimed at examining the economic and social impacts of respiratory diseases on organizations. The focus is on identifying preventive measures in organizations whose implementation is intended to prevent the spread of these diseases in individual workplaces. The objective of the article is a comprehensive literary survey with a specific emphasis on the economic and social ramifications of respiratory diseases on organizations and possible measures that can eliminate or at least mitigate these impacts. As part of the methodology, a four-stage search of academic texts for the actual research is conducted based on the research question. The findings are complemented by the results of a survey carried out in selected organisations, the conclusions of which document the importance of preventive measures against respiratory diseases in the workplace. The conclusions of this study are considered for the future as one of the bases for the development of a customized prevention model for organizations in order to use artificial intelligence in the field of preventive measures against the spread of respiratory diseases.
