Occupational Safety Training for Gas Stove Manufacturing

1. Overview of Gas Stoves

a. What is a gas stove?

• A gas stove is a type of stove that uses a gas burner for cooking. Gas stoves are widely used in homes, restaurants, eateries, and hotels because they have many advantages such as fast heating, ease of use, and easy cleaning.
• A gas stove can operate by using gas from a gas cylinder or piped gas. A gas stove usually has 1 to 5 burners depending on its size and intended use. Many modern gas stoves are equipped with safety features such as automatic gas shut-off sensors when the stove is not in use or when a burner is not working properly.
• Gas stoves are manufactured by many famous brands worldwide and come in many different designs and materials to suit everyone’s usage needs and design styles.
• Businesses in the gas stove industry in Vietnam are mainly concentrated in industrial areas in Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, and neighboring provinces.
• According to statistics from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the domestic production of gas stoves in 2021 was estimated at 4.2 million products, an increase of 15.1% compared to 2020. Domestic gas stove products currently account for 80% of the domestic market share, with the rest being imported products.

b. Types of gas stove manufacturing machinery

Currently, there are many different types of gas stove manufacturing machinery used in the production process. Here are some common types of machinery used to manufacture gas stoves:
