Those working in areas where coal dust can pose a serious threat to their health need to follow proper hygiene procedures.Workers should wash with soap and water in case the coal dust contacts the skin. Clothing polluted with coal dust needs to be removed soon as possible, and provisions should be made for removal of the chemical from clothing in a safe manner.
People working with the laundry should be kept informed about the hazardous properties of coal dust. Any worker who handles coal dust should carefully wash hands, forearms, and face with soap and water before consuming food and drinks, smoking or using toilet facilities. Same goes for those who wish to apply cosmetics, or take any medication.
For health reasons, coal workers should be restrained from eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, or taking medication in areas where coal dust is handled, processed, or stored.
Employers should strive to prevent occupational injury and disease through pre-emptive measures. Coal dust containers should be stored away from oxidizing agents in areas where these will not be physically damaged. In case of a spill or a leak, workers who do not wear protective clothing should not be allowed to enter the contaminated area.
