• If the employee is freelance or temporary, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and endorse the safety card after the employee completes the course and passes the test.

3. Recognizing Hazards Affecting Workers in Razor Manufacturing

During razor manufacturing, potential hazards may include:

• • Hot spots and sparks: In metalworking processes such as grinding, cutting, and polishing, improper use of mechanical tools can increase temperature and generate sparks, posing fire and explosion risks.
  • Chemical hazards: Razor manufacturing may involve the use of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and solvents for cleaning and surface treatment. Exposure to these chemicals can harm workers’ health, especially if not handled properly.
  • Cutting and injury accidents: During razor manufacturing, workers may suffer injuries from cuts, punctures, or being impaled by mechanical tools.
  • Noise and vibration: Noise and vibration from machinery during razor manufacturing can affect workers’ hearing and overall health.
  • Metal dust exposure: Materials like steel can produce metal dust during cutting and processing. Long-term exposure can harm workers’ respiratory system and lungs.
  • Heat and pressure hazards: Processes such as welding, casting, and pressing can generate high heat and pressure, posing dangers to workers if not managed properly.

• Back pain and other musculoskeletal issues: In addition to direct hazards of razor manufacturing, workers may experience back and shoulder pain, or other musculoskeletal problems, from prolonged improper posture.

4. Common Occupational Accidents for Workers in Razor Manufacturing

Common occupational accidents in razor manufacturing include:

• Hand and finger cuts: From using cutting or grinding machines unsafely, without regular maintenance, or without wearing adequate personal protective equipment such as gloves and protective clothing.
• Eye injuries: Bright lights from lamps or reflective materials can damage workers’ vision if protective glasses are not worn.
• Chemical poisoning: Health risks from exposure to chemicals used in cleaning or preserving razors.

5. Safety Measures When Participating in Razor Manufacturing

Safety measures for razor manufacturing include:

• Use personal protective equipment: Workers should wear safety glasses, face masks, gloves, protective jackets, clothing, and steel-toe shoes to ensure personal safety.
• Ensure hygiene and food safety: If materials come into contact with food, follow relevant food safety regulations.
• Ensure machinery and equipment safety: Safe working conditions are essential. Machines must be regularly maintained to ensure safe and efficient operation.
• Safety training for employees: Workers need training on occupational safety, proper use of safety equipment, and accident prevention measures.
• Use advanced safety technology: Sensors, alarms, and automation can be applied to reduce manufacturing hazards.
• Regular risk assessments: Frequently check and evaluate safety hazards related to razor manufacturing to implement appropriate solutions and ensure worker safety.
• Periodically conduct occupational environment monitoring in factories, collect and analyze harmful factors for workers, and adjust to reduce risks to prevent occupational diseases.
