Formaldehyde drops 70 per cent under incoming WELs. Cotton dust, dye chemicals, and machine entrapment require structured controls.
Textiles manufacturing encompasses spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing, and finishing operations that produce fabrics and garments. Workers face exposure to cotton dust causing byssinosis, formaldehyde from resin finishing treatments, dye chemicals during dyeing and printing, and fibre dust during cutting and sewing operations. Machine entrapment in looms, spinning frames, and finishing rollers is a serious hazard. The incoming WEL for formaldehyde drops from 1 to 0.3 ppm, affecting textile finishing operations that use formaldehyde-based resins for wrinkle resistance and permanent press treatments. Noise from weaving and knitting machines commonly exceeds 90 dB(A).
