Pneumoconiosis (silicosis) is one of the most common occupational lung diseases in Egypt. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge and self-reported practices of Iron Mines workers about pneumoconiosis. A descriptive exploratory research design was utilized in this study. Setting: the study was conducted at El Gedida Iron Mine area at Bahariya Oasis, Giza Governorate. A sample of 240 workers representing 50% of all workers in the mine was chosen at systematic random. The investigator developed a four-part tool to collect data for this study. Part I: demographic characteristic of the workers, Part II: Medical history, Part III: Workers' knowledge regarding pneumoconiosis and Part IV: Workers' self-reported practices about prevention of pneumoconiosis. Results indicated that, more than two thirds (70.8%) of workers had partially satisfactory scores regarding their knowledge and the majority (89.6%) regarding self-reported practices about pneumoconiosis.17.9% and 5.4% of workers had unsatisfactory total scores regarding knowledge and self-reported healthy practices about pneumoconiosis respectively. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between total knowledge scores and total self-reported healthy practices scores of workers about pneumoconiosis
