b. Training Duration

Initial safety training duration:

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including testing.
• 8 hours of theory on policies and occupational safety laws
• 8 hours of basic occupational safety and hygiene theory
• 4 hours of specialized training theory
• 2 hours of practical training on specialized content
• 2 hours of theoretical exam at the end of the course

The training center will distribute the hours across multiple sessions depending on worker schedules. Typically, there are 6 sessions over 3 days if the company can arrange continuous training time.

Periodic safety training duration:

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers must undergo periodic safety training, with a duration of at least 50% of the initial training time.

Explanation: The total duration of periodic occupational safety training is at least 12 hours, including testing. Upon completing the periodic training and passing the exam, workers are reissued or renewed the occupational safety card.

3. Identifying hazards affecting workers during measurement device production

Producing measurement devices also has potential hazards as follows:

• Voltage: Measurement devices may use power sources or batteries to operate, so workers must handle electrical currents and the risk of electric shock.
• Toxic substances: During production, harmful chemicals such as cleaners, dyes, or solvents may be used. If not used and stored properly, these substances can harm workers’ health.
• Noise: Measurement devices are often manufactured in factories and workshops, which may lead to high noise levels and harm workers’ hearing.
• Temperature: Some measurement devices, such as thermometers, may be produced at high temperatures. This can lead to the risk of burns or heat-related injuries.
• Impact: During transportation and production, measurement devices may be subjected to impacts or breakage, posing a risk of injury to workers.

4. Common occupational accidents for workers in measurement device production

Common occupational accidents during measurement device production include:

• Electrical accidents: The voltage in measurement devices is often high; improper use can endanger workers. Employees must ensure that electrical devices are used correctly and maintained regularly.
• Accidents due to improper device usage: Some measurement devices can be dangerous if not used properly. Production staff must be trained on how to use measurement devices safely.
• Accidents due to chemical use: Many measurement devices are used in environments containing hazardous chemicals. Production staff must be trained on how to operate devices safely in such environments to protect themselves and colleagues.
• Accidents due to faulty devices: Measurement devices must be regularly maintained to ensure they operate properly and safely. Using faulty devices can endanger workers.

5. Safety measures when participating in measurement device production

Safety measures when participating in measurement device production include:
