2. Overview of occupational safety training for electric kettle manufacturing

In this article, we focus on issues concerning Group 3, as they are directly involved in the manufacturing process and face the highest occupational safety risks. For more information on other groups, see here.

a. What is Group 3 occupational safety training?

• Group 3 occupational safety training consists of sessions that raise awareness about how workers can prevent workplace accidents.
• The training helps workers identify and avoid hazards, reducing the risk of workplace accidents during work.

b. Training duration

Initial occupational safety training

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including testing time.
• 8 hours of theory on safety and labor hygiene policies and laws
• 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
• 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practical training on specialized content
• 2 hours of final theory test at the end of the course

The training center will arrange multiple sessions depending on workers’ schedules. Usually, there are 6 sessions over 3 days, provided the manufacturer allows continuous learning time.

Periodic occupational safety training

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers who want reissuance must undergo periodic occupational safety training, with training duration at least 50% of the initial training duration.

Explanation: Total periodic occupational safety training time is at least 12 hours, including testing. After completing the training and passing the test, workers will have their occupational safety card reissued and extended.

c. Training content

d. Occupational safety card

After completing occupational safety training and passing the test, workers will be issued an occupational safety card (commonly called Group 3 occupational safety certificate).

The Group 3 safety card shows information such as: full name, date of birth, job, and specific work environment. It also indicates training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

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

• If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign and stamp the safety card for Group 3 workers after completing training from the occupational safety training unit and passing the test.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign and stamp the safety card for the worker after completing training and passing the test.

3. Identifying hazards affecting workers in electric kettle manufacturing

Some potential hazards affecting workers in the electric kettle manufacturing process include:

• Fire and explosion risk: Electric kettles use electricity to operate, so improper operation may cause fire or explosion. This risk increases when electronic components are damaged or have manufacturing defects.
• Vision reduction risk: Workers often work under bright lights and electronic equipment during manufacturing, which can cause eye strain, headaches, and reduced vision.
• Occupational accident risk: Equipment in the electric kettle factory may cause injuries such as cuts, burns, punctures, eye injuries, or back pain from transporting and lifting manufacturing components.
• Chemical hazard risk: Chemicals may be used during manufacturing for cleaning, bleaching, and preserving parts. Prolonged exposure can harm workers’ health.
• Noise risk: Machinery and equipment in the factory may generate noise harmful to workers’ hearing.
• Dust and fume exposure risk: Processing components, molding, and other tasks can produce dust and fumes, causing health issues like allergies and respiratory inflammation.
• Work pressure risk: Electric kettle factories often require workers to operate under high-pressure environments to meet large manufacturing targets in a short time.
• Electrical risk: If electrical devices are not properly maintained, insulated, or waterproofed, workers may be exposed to electric shock hazards during manufacturing.

4. Common occupational accidents for workers in electric kettle manufacturing

Common occupational accidents in electric kettle manufacturing may include:

• Electrical accidents: As these devices use electricity, there is a risk of electric shock, high voltage, or power supply failure.
• Chemical accidents: Factories may use chemicals for cleaning, disinfecting, or bleaching. Improper use or lack of protective measures may cause chemical accidents.
• Thermal accidents: High temperatures in manufacturing or usage may lead to burns, scalds, or fire hazards.
• Mechanical accidents: Operating machinery and equipment may cause injuries such as finger entrapment, collisions, falling objects, wear, or rust hazards.
• Fire and explosion accidents: Manufacturing, usage, and storage of electric kettles require fire safety precautions to prevent fire or explosion accidents.
• Hygiene-related accidents: To ensure product hygiene, factories must strictly follow safety and hygiene procedures. Failure to use protective equipment or comply with regulations may result in hygiene-related accidents.

5. Safety measures when participating in electric kettle manufacturing

Safety measures for participating in electric kettle manufacturing include:
