Abstract
The purpose was to master the basic situation of dust workers in terms of qualifications, training or not, seniority and other aspects of knowledge about protection, and to clear the focus of the crowd, effective ways and methods in health education. We designed a questionnaire which was about “protective knowledge and behavior of dust workers” ourselves and carry it on the dust workers in Tangshan city. A database was established with Excel. SPSS11.5 statistical analysis software was used to analyze for the influence on protecting knowledge and behavioral between different groups. Dust workers’ using rate about the choosing an effective way of protection is generally low in Tangshan city. Those of not being educated and poor educational background have poor protection behavior. The knowing rate of perception and using rate of protective behaviors were statistically significant in the different factories.
