Abstract This industrial standard was approved on 11 May 1973 and entered into force on 1 Feb. 1975. It refers to various aspects of the working environment (coal dust, benzopyrene, heat etc.) at different workposts in coking plants and the preventive measures to be taken in each particular case (air exchange rates, type of ventilation, humidification, continuous monitoring of pollution level, monitoring and warning devices). In-depth data on these problems is presented in tabular form. Other tables indicate: flashpoint critical conditions for coal and coke dust, explosibility limits of various gases and fumes encountered in coking plants, maximum allowable concentrations and average and accidental (short-term) concentrations of toxic substances; various types of protective enclosures for electrical equipment, depending on ambient conditions.
