Occupational Safety Training in Mechanical Industry

1. Overview of the mechanical industry

a. What is the mechanical industry?

• The mechanical engineering industry is a technical field related to the design, manufacturing of metal parts, and the operation of machinery.
• It is the industry that creates various types of machinery and equipment or useful items, serving the design work in the fields of machinery and manufacturing equipment. It also serves in the fields of heating and cooling systems, and household items.
• The industry plays a role in practical manufacturing activities. This is where Mechanical Manufacturing engineers participate in operating the entire manufacturing process. At the same time, they optimize the manufacturing process to ensure the highest possible efficiency and economy.

b. Some typical manufacturing machines in the mechanical industry

Today, modern machinery serving the mechanical industry is very common, replacing traditional working methods. The more technology a machine integrates, the more it helps to improve work efficiency. Ensuring the best product quality. Current mechanical factories cannot lack these types of machines:

• CNC Lathe
  • A CNC lathe is one of the types of precision mechanical processing machines found in most mechanical workshops today, including many different types such as front lathes, rear lathes, medium-sized CNC lathes, mini lathes, and large-sized CNC lathes.
  • The main task of these CNC lathes is to machine cylindrical or conical surfaces such as shafts, wheels, holes, retaining rings, threads, perform grooving, and remove material from the cylindrical blank, and machine rotating parts as well as complex-shaped parts.

• CNC Milling Machine
  • A CNC milling machine is a very powerful support tool for the mechanical processing process in mechanical workshops of all sizes, from small to large.
  • Thanks to the application of modern CNC technology, controlled automatically by a smart computer, the mechanical CNC milling machine can perform various types of component cutting quickly, easily, and with high precision, ensuring aesthetics.

• CNC Grinding Machine
  • A CNC grinding machine is an automatic grinding machine that uses an automatic control system, operating based on a pre-programmed program in the computer system.
  • The automatic grinding machine allows users to easily process and grind materials quickly and accurately, achieving high aesthetics and sophistication. This type of mechanical tool is very effective at grinding materials such as hard steel and alloys, granite, and glass.

• Mechanical Cutting Machine
  • A cutting machine is one of the most important types of mechanical processing machines in mechanical workshops, especially for steel processing workshops. There are many types of mechanical cutting machines widely applied today, such as laser cutters, plasma cutters, and CNC cutters.

b. Training duration

• Initial safety training duration
  • The total training duration is at least 24 hours, including test time.
  • 8 hours of theoretical study on the policy and legal system for occupational safety and health
  • 8 hours of theoretical study on basic knowledge of occupational safety and health
  • 4 hours of theoretical study on specialized training content
  • 2 hours of practical study on specialized training content
  • 2 hours of theoretical test at the end of the training course

The safety training center will distribute the time into several training sessions depending on the time arrangement for employees. But typically, there will be 6 training sessions, and the course will last for 3 days, provided that the manufacturing business can arrange continuous study time.

• Periodic safety training duration
  • Before the occupational safety card expires, if the worker wants to renew it, they must undergo a periodic occupational safety training course, with the periodic safety training duration being at least 50% of the initial safety training duration.

Explanation: the total periodic occupational safety training duration is at least 12 hours, including test time. After completing the periodic training course and passing the test, the worker will be reissued or have their occupational safety card renewed.

c. Content of the training course

d. Occupational safety training certificate

After completing the occupational safety training course and passing the test, the worker will be issued an occupational safety certificate for group 3.

The occupational safety card will clearly show information such as: full name, date of birth, specific job, and working environment. It also includes the training duration, a red seal, and a signature confirming the completion of the training course.

According to the regulations on issuing safety cards specified in Clause 2 of Article 24 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:

• In the case where the employer and the employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign, seal, and affix a seal on the joint of the safety card for the trained person in group 3 after they have undergone the training course from an occupational safety training unit and passed the test.
• In the case of freelance or seasonal workers who do not have a labor contract, the training unit must sign, seal, and affix a seal on the joint of the safety card for the worker after they have undergone the training course from an occupational safety training unit and passed the test.

3. Identifying dangers in the mechanical industry

The dangers in the mechanical industry mainly come from the moving parts of machines and working tools. Hand tools and processed parts can cause injuries to workers during work such as: pinching, cutting, chopping, rolling, puncturing, impact, and crushing. The severity of the injury depends on the energy of the operations of the person or machine. Here we will list the dangers for you to identify and work safely in the mechanical industry.

• Exposed electrical wires, poorly connected wiring. Or machinery with electrical leaks can cause electric shock to workers
• Workers not wearing personal protective equipment, or using poor quality protective equipment when working with mechanical machinery.
• Moving parts of the machine are not shielded, creating a risk of hands being pulled into the machine during work
• Long pants and shirts, long hair not tied up neatly have the risk of being pulled into the machine
• Metal fragments when cut have a risk of flying into the eyes, or body
• Improperly operating machines causing mechanical collisions, hitting workers
• Touching hot metal blanks causing burns

4. Common types of accidents in the mechanical industry

The mechanical industry is one of the professions with a high level of danger and risk. Below is a list of common types of accidents to help you understand and have a way to prevent them, and work safely in the mechanical industry.

• Hand getting caught in the gear of a running machine.
• A moving part of a machine breaking and flying off, hitting a person, due to damaged mechanical machinery and equipment leading to inaccurate operation.
• Falling into a running machine due to the operator being sleepy
• Getting hands cut when working with grinding and cutting machines
