Occupational Safety Training for Phone Case Manufacturing

1. Overview of Phone Cases

a. What is a Phone Case?

Phone cases (also known as smartphone/tablet cases) are protective accessories used to cover mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. The main function of a phone case is to protect the device from impacts, scratches, and other damages during daily use. Additionally, phone cases may have other features such as dust resistance, water resistance (in some cases), and aesthetic enhancement with diverse designs and patterns.

b. Machinery for Phone Case Production

• Plastic Injection Molding Machines:
  • Used to mold plastics (such as polycarbonate, polyurethane) into phone case parts according to molds.
• Laser Cutting Machines:
  • Used to cut plastic sheets into precise shapes and sizes for different types of phones or tablets.
• UV Printing Machines:
  • Used to print images, patterns, or logos on the surface of phone cases using UV printing technology, allowing very fine and sharp details.
• Heat Press Machines:
  • Used to apply protective layers, such as silicone coatings, onto phone cases by using heat and pressure.
• CNC Machining Centers:
  • Used to process aluminum, steel, or other metal materials to create durable and aesthetic phone case frames.

2. Overview of Occupational Safety Training for Phone Case Production

Within this article, we focus on issues related to Group 3 because Group 3 is the group directly involved in the production process and faces the highest occupational safety risks. For more on other groups, see here.

a. What is Group 3 Occupational Safety Training?

• Group 3 occupational safety training consists of sessions to equip workers with awareness on preventing workplace accidents.
• The safety training course helps workers recognize and avoid hazards, reducing risks of occupational accidents while working.

b. Training Duration

Initial safety training duration

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including test time.
• 8 hours of theory on safety and occupational hygiene policies and legal system
• 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
• 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practical training on specialized content
• 2 hours for final theoretical test at course end

The safety training center will arrange the time into multiple sessions depending on scheduling for workers. Usually, there are 6 training 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 must attend periodic occupational safety training, with the periodic training duration being at least 50% of the initial training duration.

Explanation: The total periodic occupational safety training time is at least 12 hours, including test time. After completing the periodic training and passing the test, workers will be reissued or extended their occupational safety card.

c. Training Content

d. Occupational Safety Card

After completing the occupational safety training course and passing the test, workers will be issued the occupational safety card (commonly called the occupational safety certificate for Group 3).

This card clearly shows information such as name, date of birth, specific job and working environment, as well as training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

According to regulations on card issuance stated in Clause 2 of Article 24 Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:

• If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign, stamp, and countersign the safety card for Group 3 employees after they complete training at the occupational safety training unit and pass the test.
• If the worker is freelance, seasonal, or without a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and countersign the safety card after the worker completes training and passes the test.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers During Phone Case Production

When producing phone cases, there are several potential hazards that may affect workers. Below are some key points to recognize and address in the working environment:

• Risk of impact and injury: Due to the nature of the production process, there is a high risk of collisions, falls, and possible accidents. This is especially true for tasks involving machinery, such as cutting and machining, where fingers and hands may get caught or injured.
• Chemical hazards: The use of chemicals in production such as solvents, adhesives, or surface coatings can pose serious health risks to workers if not handled properly or if safety measures are lacking.
• Health risks from dust and fumes: Processes like cutting, machining, and plastic molding can generate dust and fumes, causing respiratory and health issues for workers if there is no effective ventilation and exhaust system.
• Risks related to temperature and voltage: Production machinery can generate high temperatures and high voltage, creating risks of burns, electric shocks, and other serious accidents if proper safety measures are not in place to protect workers.
• Ergonomic risks: Prolonged work in uncomfortable postures may cause back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal problems.

To minimize these hazards, phone case manufacturing factories need to implement labor protection and safety measures such as training employees on occupational safety, providing personal protective equipment, improving work processes, and using safety devices like dust extraction systems, chemical management, and temperature control.

4. Safety Measures When Participating in Phone Case Production

• Occupational safety training: Training employees on potential hazards, accident prevention measures, and how to use personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial. Ensure all staff know how to safely operate machinery, equipment, and handle chemicals.
• Use of personal protective equipment (PPE): Provide and require the full use of PPE such as safety goggles, masks, gloves, hand protection, and safety shoes to protect skin, eyes, and respiratory systems from chemical and dust hazards.
• Chemical control: Use and store chemicals according to safety regulations, including providing detailed information about their properties and safe handling. Ensure no direct skin contact or inhalation of toxic gases.
• Dust and fume management: Provide effective dust extraction systems to prevent dust accumulation in the work environment. Ensure cleaning and maintenance procedures keep the workplace clean and safe.
• Temperature and voltage monitoring: Control machine temperatures to avoid burns and ensure electrical safety when working with high-voltage equipment.
• Use of safety equipment: Ensure machinery and equipment are regularly maintained to guarantee safe and effective operation. Limit the use of damaged or unsafe equipment.
• Ergonomic management: Provide support tools to ensure workers maintain comfortable postures, reducing risks of back pain and musculoskeletal injuries.

• Periodically conduct occupational environment monitoring in factories to collect and analyze harmful factors affecting workers, thereby adjusting to reduce hazards and prevent occupational diseases.
