After completing the occupational safety training course and passing the exam, workers will be issued an occupational safety card (commonly referred to as a Group 3 safety certificate).

The Group 3 safety card clearly displays information such as full name, date of birth, job, and specific working environment, as well as training duration, official 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 an employment contract, the employer must sign, stamp, and validate the Group 3 safety card after the employee completes the course and passes the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary, without an employment contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes the course and passes the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Stationery Manufacturing

Hazards affecting workers in stationery manufacturing may include:

• Fire and Explosion Risk: During stationery manufacturing, machines use high electrical power, which can easily cause fire or explosion. Additionally, many flammable materials such as paper, cardboard, printing ink, and solvents used in the manufacturing process may also pose fire and explosion risks.
• Occupational Accident Risk: Stationery manufacturing workers may work with various machinery and equipment, including cutting, stamping, pressing, planing, drilling, welding, stapling tools, and electronic devices. Improper use or lack of attention to safety when operating these devices can lead to accidents such as cuts, hand injuries, crushing, stabbing, burns, electric shocks, etc.
• Chemical Hazard: Stationery manufacturing uses many toxic chemicals such as printing ink, adhesives, and solvents. Without proper protective equipment, workers may be exposed to these harmful substances through inhalation or direct skin contact, causing health problems such as skin itching, irritation, allergic reactions, headaches, fatigue, and breathing difficulties.
• Electrical Hazard: If electrical equipment in the factory is not regularly maintained or is poorly insulated and waterproofed, it can pose a risk of electric shock to workers during manufacturing.
• Dust Exposure Risk: Stationery manufacturing workers may work in environments with high dust from raw materials like paper and cardboard. Inhaling this dust may cause health problems such as shortness of breath, coughing, sore throat, and pneumonia.

4. Common Occupational Accidents for Workers in Stationery Manufacturing

Common occupational accidents for workers in stationery manufacturing include:

• Cuts and Injuries: When operating cutting tools and machinery during manufacturing, workers may suffer cuts or injuries.
• Eye-Related Injuries: Exposure to strong light or chemicals may affect workers’ eyes.
• Poisoning: Chemical products used in stationery manufacturing can cause poisoning if not handled properly.
• Temperature and Pressure Hazards: During manufacturing, temperature and pressure may cause accidents if not properly monitored and controlled.
• Mental Health Issues: Stationery manufacturing work often requires long periods of sitting and performing repetitive tasks, which may lead to mental health problems for workers.

5. Safety Measures When Participating in Stationery Manufacturing

Safety measures when participating in stationery manufacturing include:

• Use of Protective Equipment: Protective gear such as face shields, masks, gloves, chemical-resistant coats, and safety shoes helps reduce exposure to harmful substances, dust, and debris.
• Occupational Safety Training: Train employees on manufacturing processes and necessary safety measures, including how to use machinery, protective equipment, and respond to emergencies.
• Regular Machinery Maintenance: Periodically maintain machines and inspect equipment to ensure safe operation.
• Proper Use of Chemicals: Handle chemicals according to instructions and store them safely.
• Noise Reduction: To minimize noise-related accidents, factories should implement measures such as noise-canceling headphones, reducing noise from machinery, or limiting exposure time to high-noise areas.
• Waste Classification and Disposal: Proper waste handling reduces its impact on human health and the environment.
• Hygiene Checks: Maintain clean manufacturing areas and ensure personal hygiene of employees to minimize the risk of infections.
• Periodically conduct workplace environmental monitoring in factories to collect and analyze hazardous factors affecting workers, then adjust and reduce risks to prevent occupational diseases.
