Key message Negligence of health safety is common cause for occupational hazards such as charcoal maker's pneumoconiosis. This case report highlights such a case where the condition developed because of not wearing a dust mask due to the heat during production. As the condition is mostly asymptomatic, preventive measures must be encouraged.
