Occupational Safety Training for Iron Glue Manufacturing

1. Overview of Iron Glue

a. What is Iron Glue?

• Iron glue is a type of glue used to bond metal surfaces together, creating a strong and durable connection. It is commonly used in mechanical engineering, construction, household appliance manufacturing, automotive, machinery, electronics, and many other industries.
• Iron glue can be produced from various chemical compounds depending on its intended use and the properties of the metal surfaces being bonded.
• Currently, the iron glue manufacturing industry in Vietnam is developing with many businesses. This industry plays an important role in producing products for construction, mechanical engineering, electronics, and other sectors.
• However, like many other industries, iron glue manufacturing in Vietnam faces challenges, including inadequately trained labor, limited raw material supply, intense price competition, and issues related to occupational safety and environmental protection.

2. Overview of Labor Safety Training for Iron Glue Production

In this article, we focus on Group 3 because Group 3 directly participates in production and faces the highest occupational safety risks. Refer to other groups here.

a. What is Group 3 Labor Safety Training?

• Group 3 labor safety training consists of sessions that equip workers with awareness on preventing occupational accidents.
• The training helps workers recognize and avoid hazards, reducing the risk of workplace accidents during work.

b. Training Duration

Initial Safety Training

• Total training duration is at least 24 hours, including examination time.
• 8 hours theoretical on policies and occupational safety laws
• 8 hours theoretical on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
• 4 hours theoretical on specialized training content
• 2 hours practical on specialized content
• 2 hours final theory examination

The training center schedules sessions according to workers’ availability. Typically, there are 6 sessions over 3 days if the company can arrange continuous training time.

Periodic Safety Training

• Before the labor safety card expires, workers must undergo periodic labor safety training if they want a card renewal. The periodic training duration must be at least 50% of the initial training duration.

Explanation: the total duration of periodic labor safety training is at least 12 hours, including examination. Upon completion and passing the test, workers will receive a renewed labor safety card.

c. Training Content

d. Labor Safety Card

After completing the training and passing the test, workers will receive a labor safety card (commonly called Group 3 labor safety certificate).

The Group 3 card clearly shows the worker’s name, date of birth, specific job and working environment, training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming training completion.

According to Clause 2 of Article 24 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:

• If the worker has an employment contract with the employer, the employer must sign, stamp, and validate the card for the Group 3 trainee after completing training and passing the test.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary without a contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the card after completing training and passing the test.

3. Identifying Hazards in Iron Glue Production

Potential hazards in iron glue production include:

• Iron glue contains chemicals such as fillers, thickeners, gloss enhancers, strength agents, surfactants, solvents, etc. Long-term exposure can cause skin irritation, headaches, dizziness, respiratory and digestive issues.
• Volatile solvents in glue can pose fire and explosion risks if improperly handled or stored.
• Using machinery and equipment can be hazardous due to pressure risks. Heavy and bulky materials increase the chance of accidents during transport and handling.
• Production processes may generate high noise levels, affecting worker health if ear protection is not used.

4. Common Occupational Accidents in Iron Glue Production

Common occupational accidents include:

• Fire and explosion: Glue is produced by mixing chemicals, creating risks if mishandled or exposed to sunlight or high heat.
• Chemical poisoning: Chemicals such as toluene, xylene, formaldehyde can be toxic if improperly used or if protective equipment is insufficient.
• Cuts and crushing: High-tech machinery like cutters, presses, and mixers can cause severe hand injuries if used incorrectly or safety protocols are not followed.
• Electric shock: Some machinery uses high voltage; improper use or insufficient protection may cause electric shock.
• High temperature: Production may involve high heat and pressure, posing hazards without proper handling or heat dissipation systems.
• Hazardous gases: Production may emit carbon dioxide, formaldehyde vapors, and dust, which are dangerous if not properly controlled.

5. Safety Measures When Participating in Iron Glue Production

Safety measures when participating in iron glue production include:

• Employees participating in iron glue production must be fully equipped with protective gear such as helmets, safety goggles, gloves, waterproof jackets, and anti-slip shoes.
• All employees involved in iron glue production must be trained in occupational safety and the proper use of protective equipment. In addition, they should be trained in the correct use of production equipment and handling incidents.
• The iron glue production factory must be regularly cleaned to ensure no waste or dust is dispersed into the air. Employees should also be trained on proper handling of chemicals and maintaining workplace hygiene.
• Working conditions must be adequate, especially regarding temperature, humidity, and lighting. When working with machinery, sufficient lighting is necessary for employees to see details clearly and operate correctly.
• Machinery must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure proper and safe operation. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced promptly.
• Materials must be properly classified and stored to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of employees involved in production.
• Employees should minimize exposure to hazardous substances during iron glue production, especially when handling chemicals.
• Periodically conduct occupational environment monitoring in factories, collect and analyze harmful factors for workers, and adjust to reduce hazards to prevent occupational diseases.
