Exposure Risks for Blast Furnace Operators
Blast furnace operators face several significant exposure risks. They are frequently exposed to high levels of heat and industrial dust from the blast furnace. The process also generates fumes containing carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and other hazardous gases, which can cause respiratory issues and cardiovascular problems over time. Prolonged exposure to these conditions can lead to chronic respiratory diseases and increased risk of lung cancer. To mitigate these risks, operators should use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as heat-resistant clothing and respirators, and adhere to strict safety protocols and ventilation requirements.
