2. Overview of Occupational Safety Training for Engineers

a. What is Occupational Safety Training for Engineers?

• Occupational safety training for engineers consists of classes that provide awareness on how to prevent workplace accidents for employees. Accordingly, engineers belong to group 2.
• The occupational safety training course helps employees recognize and prevent hazards, reducing risks of workplace accidents during work.

b. Training Duration

i. Initial group 2 occupational safety training duration

• Total training time is at least 48 hours, including exam time.
• 8 hours of theory on occupational safety and hygiene laws and policy system
• 23 hours of theory on occupational safety and hygiene professional tasks
• 4 hours of practice on occupational safety and hygiene professional tasks
• 1 hour of test on occupational safety and hygiene professional tasks
• 6 hours of theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practice on specialized training content
• 2 hours of theory test at the end of the training
• 2 hours of practical test at the end of the training

The occupational safety training center will arrange the schedule into multiple sessions depending on the time availability of employees. Typically, there will be 12 training sessions for group 2, and the course will last 6 days, provided the manufacturing enterprise arranges continuous study time.

ii. Periodic group 2 occupational safety training duration

Before the occupational safety training certificate expires, employees who wish to renew must undergo periodic occupational safety training, with the periodic training duration being at least 50% of the initial training duration.

This means the total periodic group 2 training duration is at least 24 hours, including exam time. After completing the periodic training and passing the test, employees will be reissued and renewed with the group 2 occupational safety training certificate.

d. Group 2 Occupational Safety Training Certificate

• After completing the group 2 occupational safety training course and passing the test, employees will be issued a group 2 occupational safety training certificate (also known as a occupational safety training certificate group 2)
• Accordingly, the occupational safety training certificate will clearly state information such as: full name, gender, date of birth, nationality, citizen ID card or identity card number, position, and working unit. It will also include training time, red seal, and the signature confirming completion of the training course from the general director of Công Ty TNHH Huan Luyen An Toan va Quan Trac Moi Truong Nam Viet.

3. Hazards Engineers Commonly Face

Engineers in many fields may be exposed to hazards that can affect their health. Below are some common hazards that engineers may face:

• Occupational safety risks: Engineers often work in construction sites, factories, or laboratories. Risks such as occupational accidents, fire and explosion hazards, collisions, dangers from machinery and tools, toxic chemicals, and hazardous materials can endanger engineers’ health.
• Chemical exposure: Engineers in chemistry, environmental technology, and many other industries may be exposed to toxic chemicals. Working with these substances may cause harm to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes, leading to bleeding, skin irritation, or other serious health problems.
• Radiation exposure: Engineers working in nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, or radiation-related environments may be exposed to radiation. Long-term radiation exposure can cause serious health problems, including cancer and organ damage.
• Noise and vibration: In industries such as mechanical engineering, aviation, construction, and manufacturing, engineers may be exposed to high noise levels and strong vibrations from machinery and equipment. Long-term noise and vibration exposure can cause hearing damage, stress, and affect overall health.

4. Safety measures for Engineers

To prevent health hazards, engineers need to apply the following safety measures:

• Uniforms and protective equipment: Engineers should always comply with wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, including helmets, safety glasses, gloves, protective clothing, safety shoes, and masks depending on the job requirements.
• Training and mastering safety procedures: Engineers need to be trained on procedures and safety measures related to their field of work. They should master the regulations, safety procedures, and know how to properly use protective equipment and tools.
• Inspection and maintenance of equipment: Engineers need to regularly inspect, maintain, and repair work equipment and tools to ensure they operate properly and safely. If any faults or problems are detected, they must be reported and repaired promptly.
• Waste and chemical management: Engineers must comply with rules on waste and chemical management. They should know how to properly handle, store, and dispose of waste and chemicals to avoid environmental pollution and health impacts.
• Noise and vibration control: Engineers need to use hearing protection devices, such as noise-canceling headphones, to protect hearing from high noise levels. They should also comply with rules and regulations related to noise and vibration control in the workplace.
• Work environment control: Engineers should implement work environment control measures, including minimizing exposure to hazardous substances and ensuring ventilation.
• Periodically organize occupational environment monitoring in factories and enterprises, collect and analyze harmful factors for workers, thereby adjusting to reduce hazards to prevent occupational diseases for them.

5. Salary and benefits of Engineers

The salary and benefits of engineers may vary depending on many factors, including experience, education level, field of work, location, and company size. Below is an overview of engineers’ salary and benefits:

• Salary: Engineers’ salaries can be very diverse. On average, engineers’ salaries are usually higher than the average of other industries. Salary depends on job level, work experience, and area of expertise. For example, new graduates may have lower salaries compared to experienced engineers with professional certifications.
• Benefits: In addition to basic salary, engineers are often entitled to additional benefits. These may include health insurance, accident insurance, life insurance, vacation schemes, bonus programs, study allowances, and professional development training programs. Some companies may also provide other allowances such as transportation allowance, housing allowance, and family benefits.
• Promotion and career development opportunities: Engineers may have opportunities for promotion and career development in their specialized field. Certifications, degrees, and professional skills are highly valued and can lead to promotion and salary increases. In addition, new projects and clients may also open up career development opportunities and expand engineers’ professional networks.
