1. Overview of Watering Trucks
a. What is a Watering Truck?
A watering truck, also called a watering vehicle, is a specialized vehicle designed to transport and spray water over areas that require irrigation. It is an important means for maintaining landscapes, cooling environments, and supplying water to areas needing special care.
Watering trucks are usually equipped with modern water spraying systems, which can be remotely controlled and adjustable in pressure and spray pattern depending on specific usage purposes.
b. Operating Principle of Watering Trucks
The operating principle of a watering truck depends on the specific design of each vehicle. However, the general operation of most watering trucks can be described as follows:
- Water Pump: Watering trucks are typically equipped with one or more water pumps. The pump draws water from a source (usually a tank or reservoir on the truck) and increases the water pressure to deliver it higher or farther depending on the intended use.
- Water Piping System: Water is pumped through pipes from the pump to the points to be watered. These pipes are usually flexible and adjustable to suit the terrain and size of the area.
- Spray System: Watering trucks often have spray systems mounted on the vehicle structure. Nozzles can be designed to produce jets, streams, or specific spray patterns depending on the purpose.
- Control System: Watering trucks are usually equipped with control systems to manage water pressure, spray direction, and flow rate. Some modern watering trucks can be remotely controlled or programmed to operate automatically on specific schedules.
- Water Source: Water is supplied from a source, which may be a storage tank on the truck or an external source such as a reservoir or public water supply.
c. Industries Using Watering Trucks
Watering trucks are widely used in various industries to meet specific needs. The main sectors using watering trucks include:
- Landscape and Park Maintenance: Watering trucks are used to water grass, flowers, and plants in parks, gardens, and other public landscaped areas.
- Agriculture: In agriculture, watering trucks can be used to irrigate crops in fields and gardens.
- Urban Management: Cities often use watering trucks to water roadside grass, cool roads, and control dust.
- Firefighting: Some watering trucks are used as firefighting vehicles to deliver water to fire sites.
- Air Pollution Control: Watering trucks can also be used to clean the air by spraying water to reduce dust and air pollution.
- Construction: In construction projects, watering trucks help cool the ground, reduce dust, and control moisture.
- Military and Security: Watering trucks may be used in military and security operations for crowd control, cooling, or cleaning contaminated areas.
2. Overview of Safety Training for Operating Watering Trucks
a. What is Occupational Safety Training?
- Occupational safety training for operating watering trucks consists of lessons that equip workers with awareness of workplace accident prevention. Workers directly involved with watering trucks belong to Group 3.
- The training course helps workers recognize and avoid hazards, reducing the risk of occupational accidents during work.

b. Training Duration
Initial Safety Training Duration
- Total training hours must be at least 24 hours, including testing time.
- 8 hours of theory on occupational safety policies and laws
- 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety knowledge
- 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
- 2 hours of practical training on specialized content
- 2 hours of final theory test
The safety training center schedules multiple sessions depending on workers’ availability. Usually, there are 6 sessions over 3 days, provided the company arranges continuous learning time.
Periodic Safety Training Duration
- Before the occupational safety card expires, workers who want to renew it must undergo periodic occupational safety training, with training hours 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 training and passing the test, workers will have their occupational safety cards renewed.

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

3. Hazards When Operating a Watering Truck
Operating a watering truck must be done carefully to avoid potential hazards. Here are some typical risks:
- Traffic accidents: Watering trucks usually move at low speeds and frequently stop to water. However, failure to follow traffic rules or lack of attention by the driver can lead to collisions or traffic accidents.
- Fire risk: Using pumps and water systems may pose a fire hazard, especially if mechanical parts are faulty or water leaks occur near high-temperature components.
- Unsafe water sources: Using unsafe or contaminated water can harm the environment and human health.
- Chemical exposure: If the truck is used to spray chemicals (such as fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides), there is a risk of environmental pollution and negative health impacts.
- Ineffective cooling: In some cases, watering trucks are used for cooling roads or other areas. Poor design or operation can lead to water waste and insufficient cooling.
- Driver and operator safety: Drivers and operators must follow safety measures, especially when working near spray systems, water pools, or during maintenance.
4. Measures to Prevent Workplace Accidents When Operating a Watering Truck
To control workplace accidents while operating watering trucks, operators and managers must implement key safety measures. Here are some specific measures:
- Training and Education:
- All operators must be trained on safety procedures, equipment use, and emergency measures.
- Guide operators to comply with traffic rules when on public roads.
- Regular Inspection and Maintenance:
- Perform periodic inspections and maintenance, especially for water pumps, spray systems, and safety equipment.
- Check the condition of water pumps, pipes, and other components to ensure proper and safe operation.
- Safety Equipment:
- Ensure all drivers and nearby workers wear proper personal protective equipment, including helmets, safety glasses, gloves, and safety shoes.
- Use warning devices and lights to increase visibility of the truck in low-light conditions.
- Weather Management:
- Avoid operating the truck in adverse weather such as heavy rain, strong winds, storms, or snow.
- Schedule operations to prevent dangerous weather conditions.
- Compliance with Traffic Safety Rules:
- Follow traffic rules when moving on public roads.
- Use warning lights and signs to indicate truck location and direction.
- Water Quality Control:
- Ensure water is safe and free from harmful contaminants for both human health and the environment.
- Maintenance of Spray Systems:
- Inspect and maintain spray systems to prevent leaks and ensure safe operation.
- Emergency Planning:
- Identify and train a rescue team to respond to emergencies in case of accidents.
- Periodic inspection of watering trucks helps detect safety issues such as mechanical failures or wear early, reducing the risk of workplace accidents.
