Occupational Safety Training in Toilet Manufacturing Factory

1. Overview of Toilet

a. What is a Toilet?

• A toilet is a sanitary device used to contain and dispose of solid and liquid waste in a bathroom. A toilet consists of two main parts: a water tank and a waste treatment bowl. When a user finishes using the toilet, waste is pushed down into the bowl through the drain hole and is flushed out through the drain pipes using water. Modern toilets come in many different styles, colors, materials, and functions, from conventional toilets to water-saving toilets, automatic toilets, or high-end toilets with many smart features.
• The toilet manufacturing industry in Vietnam is developing with many different large and small businesses and brands. Vietnam has many toilet manufacturing units with quality products that are diverse in design, style, and price.
• However, the toilet manufacturing industry in Vietnam still faces many challenges such as a lack of investment, limited technology, inadequate product quality management, and fierce competition from foreign brands.
