1. Overview of Pressure Equipment
a. What is Pressure Equipment?
Pressure equipment is a type of equipment designed to contain or generate high or low pressure in industrial processes. These pressure devices can include various types, such as tanks, pipes, valves, combustion chambers, boilers, containers, and many other machinery and mechanisms capable of producing pressure.
Pressure equipment is commonly used in many industries, such as chemical, oil and gas, electronics, energy, and food production. They are used to carry out processes such as distillation, chemical reactions, cooking, cooling, or heat conversion.
Due to their nature, pressure equipment must be designed, manufactured, and operated safely to prevent dangerous accidents, such as explosions, leaks, or other incidents that could harm people and the environment. Therefore, many countries have strict regulations and standards regarding the design, inspection, and maintenance of pressure equipment to ensure safety.

d. Labor Safety Card
After completing the labor safety training and passing the test, workers will be issued a labor safety card (commonly called labor safety certificate group 3).
The group 3 safety card shows information such as name, date of birth, job and specific working environment, training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.
According to regulations on card issuance stated in Clause 2 Article 24 Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are 2 cases:
- If the employer and worker have a labor contract, the employer must sign, stamp, and seal the group 3 safety card after the worker completes the course from a labor safety training unit and passes the test.
- If the worker is freelance or temporary, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and seal the card after the worker completes the training and passes the test.

3. Hazards when operating pressure equipment
Operating pressure equipment can face many hazards if safety rules and periodic inspections are not followed. Below are some common hazards related to operating pressure equipment:
- Explosion or equipment destruction: Pressure equipment that is not properly constructed, inspected, and maintained may face risks of explosion or destruction. This can lead to serious injuries and environmental consequences.
- Leaks: Pressure equipment leaking gas, steam, or pressurized liquids can cause accidents, environmental pollution, or fire and explosion. Leaks can also result in product loss and waste of resources.
- Excessive temperature and pressure: If the pressure or temperature exceeds the safe limits of the equipment, explosions or other incidents may occur. This is especially true for boilers and pressure vessels.
- Chemical risks: In the chemical industry, incidents in operating pressure equipment can cause unwanted chemical reactions or the release of hazardous substances.
- Mechanical hazards: Pressure equipment may contain mechanical parts such as valves, combustion chambers, and actuators. If these parts fail or malfunction, accidents may occur.
- Toxic exposure risk: Hazardous substances may be used or produced in pressure equipment. Without proper safety measures, workers may be exposed to toxins.
- Working in hazardous environments: Work environments around pressure equipment may be exposed to heat radiation, sparks, or other physical and chemical hazards.
To cope with these hazards, managers and operators of pressure equipment need to comply with safety regulations, ensure periodic inspections and maintenance of equipment, provide safety training to staff, and follow specific operating instructions for each type of pressure equipment.
