1. Overview of Stainless Steel
a. What is Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel (also known as inox) is an alloy of iron with main components including iron (Fe) and other metals such as Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Molybdenum (Mo), Titanium (Ti), Vanadium (V), Silicon (Si), etc. It is called stainless because it is highly resistant to rust and chemical corrosion compared to ordinary steels.
Stainless steel is widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, household appliances, kitchenware, mortar and pestle manufacturing, medical equipment, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
b. Types of Machinery for Stainless Steel Manufacturing
There are many types of machinery used in stainless steel manufacturing, depending on each manufacturing stage. However, some main machines include:
- Stainless steel rolling machines: Used to roll stainless steel into sheets of specific thickness and size.
- Stainless steel cutting machines: Used to cut stainless steel into various sizes according to manufacturing needs.
- Stainless steel welding machines: Used to weld stainless steel sheets into finished products.
- Stainless steel processing machines: Include milling machines, lathes, grinders, drills, bending machines, and stamping machines to process stainless steel parts into finished products such as household items, industrial accessories, and interior decorations.
- Stainless steel polishing machines: Used to polish stainless steel, creating a smooth and shiny surface on the products.

b. Training Duration
Initial Safety Training
- Total training time is at least 24 hours, including testing time.
- 8 hours of theory on safety, hygiene policies and laws
- 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
- 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
- 2 hours of practice on specialized training content
- 2 hours of final theory exam
The safety training center will distribute the time into multiple sessions depending on the workers’ schedule. Usually, there are 6 training sessions over 3 days, provided the manufacturing company arranges continuous study time.
Periodic Safety Training
- Before the occupational safety card expires, workers who want a renewal must undergo periodic occupational safety training, with the periodic training duration at least 50% of the initial training duration.
Explanation: The total duration of periodic occupational safety training is at least 12 hours, including testing time. After completing the course and passing the exam, the worker will receive a renewed occupational safety card.

d. Occupational Safety Card
After completing the occupational safety training and passing the exam, workers will be issued an occupational safety card (commonly called occupational safety certificate for Group 3).
The Group 3 safety card displays personal information such as name, date of birth, job, and work environment. It also includes training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.
According to Clause 2 of Article 24 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:
- If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign and stamp the safety card for the Group 3 worker after completing training from an occupational safety training unit and passing the exam.
- If the worker is freelance or seasonal, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign and stamp the safety card after the worker completes the training and passes the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers During Stainless Steel Manufacturing
During the process of stainless steel manufacturing and processing, there are several potential hazards that may affect the health and safety of workers. Below are some hazards that need to be recognized:
- Risk of Fire and Explosion: During stainless steel manufacturing and processing, chemicals such as acetylene, propane, methane gas, and oxygen are used in welding, cutting, and processing. Improper use of these substances can cause fire and explosion, threatening the life and health of workers.
- Risk of Occupational Accidents: During stainless steel processing and manufacturing, equipment and machinery may cause accidents such as cuts, crushing, collisions, or entrapment. Working at heights or on slippery surfaces may also lead to accidents.
- Electrical Hazards: If electrical equipment in the factory is not regularly maintained, properly insulated, or waterproofed, it can pose the risk of electric shock to workers during manufacturing.
- Risk of Pollution: During stainless steel manufacturing and processing, chemicals and toxic gases may be generated, causing air pollution and harming workers’ health.
- Risk of Skin Injuries: Stainless steel manufacturing and processing can cause skin injuries, including cuts, burns, or dermatitis. Contact with chemicals or improper use of tools and equipment can also cause skin damage.
4. Common Occupational Accidents For Workers During Stainless Steel Manufacturing
Common occupational accidents that may occur for workers during stainless steel manufacturing include:
- Cutting and Injury Accidents: During cutting, packaging, and transporting stainless steel, tools such as knives, scissors, cutting machines, grinding machines, bending machines, rolling machines, stamping machines, and pressing machines are used. The risk of cuts and injuries is high if safety rules are not followed.
- Chemical Pollution: Chemicals such as acids, alkalis, solvents, additives, and dyes may be used to treat, bleach, polish, or dye stainless steel products. Improper use or lack of protective measures may harm workers’ health.
- Electrical Accidents: During manufacturing and use of stainless steel, workers may come into contact with electrical wires and equipment. Failure to follow electrical safety rules can result in a high risk of electric shock.
- Heavy Metal Poisoning: Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury may be present in stainless steel materials and products. Workers exposed to these substances without proper protection may suffer from heavy metal poisoning.
- Chemical Accidents: Chemicals used in stainless steel manufacturing and processing may explode, catch fire, or release toxic gases if not used correctly.
- Other Occupational Accidents: Besides the above, workers in stainless steel factories may face other risks, such as falling objects, elevator accidents, back injuries from lifting heavy loads, and traffic accidents during material transportation.
