d. Occupational safety card

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

The Group 3 safety card includes personal information such as full name, date of birth, job position, and specific working environment, as well as training duration, red seal, and signature confirming course completion.

According to regulations on issuing safety cards outlined in 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, stamp, and validate the safety card for the trained Group 3 worker after the training course and passing the test.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal and does not have a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes the training and passes the test.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Freezer Manufacturing

The process of manufacturing freezers can involve several hazards that may affect workers, including:

• Risk of collisions or injuries from falling heavy objects: During the movement and assembly of freezer components, employees may suffer accidents from falling heavy objects.
• Electrical hazards: Machinery used in freezer production consumes a large amount of electricity. Failure to comply with electrical safety regulations can cause fires, explosions, or electric shocks to employees.
• Chemical hazards: Solvents, chemicals, and dyes used in freezer manufacturing can pose health risks if not handled properly or if personal protective equipment is not used.
• Other occupational accidents: Incidents such as cuts, burns, or slips may occur while using tools and equipment during freezer production.
• Environmental pollution: Production processes, coating, and surface treatments in freezer manufacturing may release toxic gases, dust, and other pollutants, affecting workers’ health and the surrounding environment.

4. Common Occupational Accidents in Freezer Manufacturing

During freezer production, common occupational accidents include:

• Getting trapped: Workers may become trapped in equipment such as presses, cutting machines, drilling machines, milling machines, etc.
• Injuries from collisions: Workers can be injured by collisions with machinery or objects during production, or by falling heavy items.
• Burns or frostbite: Exposure to extremely high or low temperatures during production stages can cause burns, frostbite, or other thermal injuries.
• Scratches or cuts: Working with sharp tools may result in scratches or cuts on hands and arms.
• Chemical poisoning: Chemicals such as refrigerants, solvents, adhesives, etc., used in freezer production can cause chemical poisoning for workers.

5. Safety Measures for Participating in Freezer Manufacturing

Safety measures for participating in freezer production include:

• Ensure food safety and hygiene: Since freezers are used to store food, production must comply with food safety regulations, including using safe chemicals, maintaining machine hygiene, avoiding toxic substances, and following proper product packaging procedures.
• Wear personal protective equipment: Workers should wear helmets, masks, gloves, safety shoes, protective clothing, and safety goggles when working in dusty, noisy, or low-temperature environments.
• Safety skills training: Production staff should be trained in safety skills, including proper use of machinery, packaging, and handling common issues to ensure safety during production.
• Regularly inspect equipment: Staff should periodically check machinery, tools, and equipment to detect potential issues early and perform timely repairs.
• Follow production procedures: Staff must adhere to proper production processes, use machinery correctly, avoid overloading equipment, and carefully inspect products before packaging and shipment.
• Periodically conduct workplace environment monitoring in factories to collect and analyze harmful factors for workers, thereby reducing hazards and preventing occupational diseases.
