Occupational Safety Training in Flashlight Manufacturing

1. Overview of Flashlights

a. What is a flashlight?

A flashlight is a type of light that uses batteries to provide power. It is commonly used for outdoor activities, in places without fixed electricity, or when illumination is needed in low-light conditions.

Common flashlights are usually compact, portable, and made from various materials such as metal, plastic, or rubber. Flashlights may also come with additional features such as adjustable brightness, water resistance, strobe mode, or USB charging ports.

b. Machinery used in flashlight manufacturing

The machinery involved in the flashlight manufacturing process includes:

• Battery manufacturing machines: machines used to produce batteries from chemical materials such as carbon, zinc, acid, ammonium, and graphite.
• Battery lead cutting and bending machines: machines used to cut and bend battery leads for assembly into flashlights.
• Battery casing machines: machines used to enclose the batteries in protective casings.
• Flashlight packaging machines: machines used to package batteries and store them in protective packaging.
• Battery testing machines: machines used to test flashlight quality, including voltage, current, capacity, and usage time.
• Battery charging machines: machines used to fully charge batteries before use.

2. Overview of occupational safety training for flashlight manufacturing

In this article, we focus on issues related to Group 3, because Group 3 directly participates in the manufacturing process and faces the highest occupational safety risks. Refer to other groups here.

a. What is Group 3 occupational safety training?

• Group 3 occupational safety training consists of sessions that equip workers with awareness and methods to prevent workplace accidents.
• The training course helps workers identify and avoid hazards, reducing the risks of workplace accidents during their tasks.

b. Training duration

Initial occupational safety training

• Total training duration is at least 24 hours, including exam time.
• 8 hours of theory on safety and labor hygiene policies and regulations
• 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
• 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practice on specialized training content
• 2 hours of theoretical exam at the end of the course

The safety training center will distribute the training sessions according to the worker schedule. Typically, there are 6 sessions over 3 days, provided the company arranges continuous learning time.

Periodic occupational safety training

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

Explanation: the total periodic occupational safety training duration is at least 12 hours, including exam time. After completing the periodic training and passing the test, the worker will be reissued or have their occupational safety card renewed.

c. Training course 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 a Group 3 occupational safety certificate).

The Group 3 safety card clearly displays information such as name, date of birth, job, and specific working environment. It also includes training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

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

• If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign, stamp, and endorse the safety card for the trained Group 3 employee after completing the training course and passing the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and endorse the safety card after the worker completes the training and passes the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Flashlight Manufacturing

The process of producing flashlights also involves certain hazards that may affect the health and safety of workers, including:

• Chemical hazards: Using chemicals during flashlight manufacturing may harm workers’ health. For example, using solvents to clean components during manufacturing can be hazardous if not used properly.
• Electrical hazards: Flashlights are electrical products, so working with electricity can cause accidents if safety is not ensured during manufacturing.
• Mechanical hazards: Equipment and machinery in flashlight manufacturing can pose risks to workers’ health and safety if not used correctly.
• Temperature hazards: Using machinery and equipment during manufacturing may generate high temperatures, posing risks to workers’ health and safety.
• Noise hazards: Machinery in flashlight manufacturing can create noise, which can harm workers’ health if not properly controlled.
• Light hazards: The manufacturing process may generate intense light, which can damage workers’ eyesight if safety precautions are not followed.

4. Common Workplace Accidents in Flashlight Manufacturing

Common workplace accidents in flashlight manufacturing include:

• Sparks and explosions: Using chemicals to generate electricity in batteries can cause sparks and explosions, which may lead to fire and injuries.
• Eye injuries: Lasers used for cutting and welding flashlight components can cause eye injuries if proper protection is not used.
• Chemical poisoning: Flashlight manufacturing requires chemicals like acids and alkalis to create components. Excessive exposure may cause serious health problems for workers.
• Physical injuries: Handling machinery and equipment can cause accidents such as crushing, cuts, or injuries from collisions.

5. Safety Measures for Participating in Flashlight Manufacturing

Safety measures for participating in flashlight manufacturing include:

• Ensure full personal protective equipment (PPE): Manufacturing staff must be equipped with helmets, safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, masks, etc.
