d. Occupational Safety Card

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

The Group 3 card shows personal information such as name, date of birth, specific job, and working environment. It also includes training duration, a red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

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

• If there is an employment contract between the employer and employee, the employer must stamp and sign the safety card for Group 3 trainees after they complete the training from the occupational safety training unit and pass the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal with no employment contract, the training unit must stamp and sign the safety card for the worker after they complete the training from the occupational safety training unit and pass the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Nail Manufacturing

The hazards affecting workers during nail manufacturing may include:

• Fire and explosion risks: The nail manufacturing process often involves using many machines and electrical equipment along with flammable materials, so fire and explosion hazards are always present during manufacturing.
• Electric shock: The voltage and current in a nail manufacturing factory are very high. Therefore, if safety procedures are not followed when using electrical equipment and proper protective equipment is not worn, workers may suffer electric shocks or serious injuries.
• Machinery injuries: Using machinery in nail manufacturing always carries the risk of impact or finger amputation if proper protective equipment is not worn and safety procedures are not followed.
• Chemical exposure: Workers in nail manufacturing factories may come into contact with hazardous chemicals such as acids, iron compounds, and other organic substances. Without full protective gear like masks, ear protection, and body protection, workers may suffer long-term health damage.
• Temperature and pressure: The temperature and pressure in nail manufacturing factories are usually very high. Without wearing protective equipment such as safety shoes, gloves, and protective clothing, workers may suffer burns or injuries.

4. Common Workplace Accidents in Nail Manufacturing

Common workplace accidents for workers in nail manufacturing include:

• Hand or foot cuts: When using nail cutting machines, workers may cut their hands, feet, or other body parts if machines are not used properly or protective equipment is not worn.
• Puncture injuries: Workers may be punctured by nails if they do not wear adequate protective equipment.
• Burns: While using nail manufacturing machines, workers may suffer burns from contact with hot machines or materials.
• Hearing loss: Loud noise during nail manufacturing can cause hearing loss if workers do not wear ear protection or noise-reducing devices.
• Back pain: Repetitive work over long periods can cause back pain.

5. Safety Measures for Participating in Nail Manufacturing

To ensure worker safety during nail manufacturing, the following safety measures should be implemented:

• Use of protective equipment: Workers should wear safety goggles, helmets, gloves, and safety shoes to protect the entire body while performing tasks.
• Guidance on safety equipment use: Workers should be trained on proper use of equipment to ensure their own safety and that of others around them.
• Safety monitoring: Factories should have a safety monitoring system to track safety issues during manufacturing and implement timely countermeasures.
• Regular inspections: Manufacturing equipment should be regularly inspected, maintained, and replaced as necessary to ensure worker safety.
• Safety training: Workers should be trained to understand the hazards that may occur during nail manufacturing and know how to respond in case of incidents.
• Material and supply management: Materials and supplies should be strictly managed, meeting standards and ensuring safety for workers.
• Quality control: Ensure products meet quality standards without technical defects, thereby minimizing the risk of workplace accidents.
• Periodically conduct occupational environment monitoring in the factory, collecting and analyzing harmful factors to workers, and adjusting to reduce hazards to prevent occupational diseases.
