b. Training Duration

Initial Safety Training Duration

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including exam time.
• 8 hours of theory on policies, safety, and labor hygiene laws.
• 8 hours of basic occupational safety and hygiene theory.
• 4 hours of specialized occupational safety theory.
• 2 hours of practical exercises in specialized training.
• 2 hours of theoretical exams at the end of the course.

The training center may divide the schedule into multiple sessions based on workers’ availability. Typically, there are 6 training sessions conducted over 3 days, provided the manufacturer can arrange consecutive learning sessions.

Periodic Safety Training Duration

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers who wish to renew it must complete periodic occupational safety training, with the periodic training duration being at least 50% of the initial training duration.

Explanation: The total periodic safety training duration is at least 12 hours, including exam time. After completing the periodic training and passing the test, the worker will receive a renewed occupational safety card.

c. Training Content

d. Occupational Safety Card

After completing the occupational safety training and passing the exam, workers will be issued an Occupational Safety Card (commonly called Group 3 Safety Certificate).

The Group 3 safety card includes information such as full name, date of birth, job, and work environment. It also records training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming completion.

According to the regulations on issuing safety cards under Clause 2, Article 24 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:

• If the employer and employee have an employment contract, the employer must sign and stamp the safety card for the trained Group 3 worker after completing training and passing the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary with no employment contract, the training unit must sign and stamp the safety card after the worker completes the training and passes the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Camera Production

Some potential hazards for workers during camera production may include:

• Fire and explosion risk: Since production processes involve electricity, heat, and chemicals, the risk of fire and explosion is very high. This can lead to injuries or even death if proper safety measures are not implemented.
• Dust and chemicals: Camera production processes may generate dust and toxic chemicals such as heavy metals, harmful chemicals, and fumes. These substances can cause health issues such as breathing difficulties, pneumonia, cancer, and eye problems.
• High voltage: Electronic devices in cameras may use high and dangerous voltages for workers. Employees must be trained to handle emergency situations related to electrical safety.
• Workplace accidents: Camera production machinery may cause accidents such as being thrown, collisions, cuts, punctures, crushing, burns, or scratches. This can result in injuries, wounds, or even fatalities.
• Psychological health impacts: Working in a production environment may cause psychological pressure on employees. Stress and pressure can lead to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep difficulties.

4. Common Workplace Accidents in Camera Production

Common workplace accidents in camera production may include:

• Neck and shoulder injuries: When working in twisted postures, reaching above the head, or bending excessively to assemble components and motors.
• Eye strain and fatigue: From looking at LCD screens or small components during assembly, inspection, and repair of cameras.
• Electric shock: When handling electronic components and motors, there may be electrical leakage or protection failure, leading to electric shock.
• Burns: Components can become very hot during use, especially during design and production, posing a burn risk to employees.
• Chemical poisoning: Using chemicals in camera production can be harmful to workers’ health, especially if protective equipment is not used correctly.
• Hearing damage: Employees may experience ear damage from high noise levels produced by machinery and equipment in the factory.
• Physical accidents: Physical accidents such as collisions, impacts, and falling heavy objects may occur during production and transportation of cameras.

5. Safety Measures in Camera Production

Safety measures in camera production include:

• Wearing protective gear: Employees in camera production factories should wear protective equipment such as helmets, safety glasses, aprons, gloves, and safety shoes to protect the head, eyes, hands, feet, and body from potential hazards during production.
• Occupational Safety Training: Employees need to be trained and instructed on how to safely and effectively use machinery and equipment in camera production.
• Using protective devices: Camera production machinery should be equipped with protective devices to prevent workplace accidents. Employees must use these protective devices correctly.
• Using support equipment: To minimize accident risks, camera production employees should use support equipment such as cranes, hoists, and forklifts to move heavy materials and reduce manual lifting forces.
• Regular maintenance and equipment checks: Camera production equipment must be inspected regularly to ensure worker safety. Employees must comply with safety regulations and conduct routine maintenance to prevent accidents.
• Periodically conduct occupational environment monitoring in factories, collect and analyze harmful factors to employees, and adjust to reduce hazards to prevent occupational diseases.
