At the speed of the Space Shuttle, it would take about 700,000 years to get into the vivinity of the nearest black hole. So that would give you time to plan ahead.
So, you see, it's not a problem for our astronauts.

Considering the nearest black hole is far beyond the reaches of current space travel (or space travel in the foreseeable future) no precautions whatsoever. however, if for some reason an astronaut were to be travelling in the proximity of a black hole they would be advised to steer well clear.

I think the day will never come when this may be a problem for an astronaut.

Black holes are all in the center of the Galaxy. They are so far off that it may never affect earth. The black hold furnishes the gravity so that all the solar systems orbiting in the galaxy.

If an astronaut sees that he is being drawn into a black hole, he has a procedure to follow.
He bends over and puts his head between his legs and kisses his butt "good bye".
Ask a silly question..........

avoid 'empty' areas where the surroundings are pitch black since light is also sucked in and all cosmic matter stands no chance of escaping but its kinda impossible to spot one and get away in time..............
