As a result, 69.2% of them were aware of 10 core prevention and control knowledge, with the highest being partially aware of environmental engineering control (88.0%) and the lowest being partially aware of respiratory protection (45.1%); The proportion of those who know Information 1 is the highest, reaching 93.6%, while the proportion of those who know Information 9 is the lowest, reaching 30.1%. 1.4% are aware of all core information. Comparison of the probability of knowing core information among different years of work experience, professional title, education level, age, and the frequency of training related knowledge within 3 years (P<0.05).
