a. What are poultry eggs?

• Poultry eggs are the eggs of birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, quails, guinea fowls, pigeons, etc. They are nutritious foods and very popular in the human diet. Different types of poultry eggs vary in size, color, taste, and flavor depending on each species of poultry.
• The poultry egg manufacturing industry is one of the important agricultural sectors in Vietnam, contributing to the food needs of the majority of the population. As of 2021, Vietnam was the sixth-largest poultry farming country in the world with a total of about 500 million poultry, of which more than 300 million were chickens.
• Poultry egg manufacturing in Vietnam is diverse with many types of eggs such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, pigeon eggs, goose eggs, etc. Poultry egg manufacturing has created many jobs for rural people and also contributed to an important source of income for farmers.

Egg manufacturing can bring many hazards affecting the health of workers, including:

• During the manufacturing process, workers are often exposed to harmful substances such as ammonia gas, pollen dust, soil dust, bacteria, viruses, etc. These substances can cause health problems such as respiratory inflammation, allergies, eye inflammation, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, etc.
• The use of machinery and equipment in the egg manufacturing process can cause occupational accidents such as cuts, crushing, breakage, scratches, etc. In addition, working in harsh environmental conditions such as high humidity and high temperature can also cause occupational accidents such as heat shock and stroke.
• Due to direct contact with eggs, workers are at risk of contracting diseases from bacteria and viruses that cause poultry diseases such as avian influenza, pasteurellosis, enteritis, pneumonia, etc. In addition, contact with poultry manure can also pose a risk of infection from pathogenic microorganisms.
• Egg manufacturing requires compliance with standard procedures and product quality, which can create mental stress for workers.
• If electrical equipment in the factory is not regularly maintained, lacks proper insulation, or waterproofing, it will pose electrical shock hazards to workers during the manufacturing process.

4. Common types of occupational accidents for workers in egg manufacturing

Occupational accidents that often occur during the egg manufacturing process include:

• Falls, slips: Due to wet, slippery working environments, especially when the egg house floor is frequently cleaned, leading to risks of falling and slipping.
• Being pecked or bitten: This risk often occurs with workers handling roosters, hens in mating, or stressed poultry that may suddenly attack nearby people.
• Back, shoulder, and arm pain: Caused by frequent bending down, picking up eggs, putting eggs into boxes, or placing egg boxes on the ground.
• Respiratory diseases: Due to workers’ exposure to dust and poultry manure during work, leading to respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
• Hearing damage: Due to the noise of machinery operating in the factory and the noise of poultry, affecting workers’ hearing.

5. Safety measures in egg manufacturing

Safety measures in egg manufacturing include:

• Using protective equipment: Workers need to wear masks, gloves, safety glasses, and appropriate clothing to protect eyes, hands, and body from harmful effects of liquids, dust, and toxic gases.
