Occupational Safety Training for Drone Manufacturing

1. Overview of Drone

a. What is drone?

• Drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (Flycam) used for filming and photographing from the sky. Flycam is equipped with sensors and an automatic control system to keep it stable during flight. Flycam can be controlled remotely through a controller or from a mobile phone or tablet application. Flycam is widely used in advertising, filmmaking, sports, and environmental monitoring.
• The flycam manufacturing industry in Vietnam has been developing rapidly in recent years, especially after the Noise Prevention Law of Vietnam came into effect in 2018, allowing the use of flycam in manufacturing, trade, and services. According to the Vietnam Drones Association, in 2020, the number of flycams registered and licensed in Vietnam doubled compared to 2019.
• Flycam manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam today are not few, including both large and small businesses. However, most of these enterprises are focusing on manufacturing simple flycams with basic photography and filming functions, with not many high-end products or applications of new technology.

b. Types of machines for flycam manufacturing

Types of machines for flycam manufacturing include:

• Laser cutting machine: Used to cut case parts, propellers, and other components of the flycam. The laser cutting machine helps save time and manufacturing costs while ensuring high precision in the cutting process.
• CNC lathe: Used to process metal components of the flycam. With CNC technology, the lathe can produce precise parts with high durability and minimize manufacturing errors.
• Molding machine: Used to create molds from plastic or metal materials to shape the case, components, and propellers of the flycam.
• Welding machine: Used to weld the metal parts of the flycam together. The welding machine increases the durability of the flycam and minimizes failures caused by welding errors.
• Filming machine: Used to film the flycam during testing and quality inspection before launching to the market.
• Quality inspection machine: Used to check technical specifications of the flycam, ensuring the product meets quality and safety standards.

c. Typical flycam manufacturing enterprises

In Vietnam, there are many flycam manufacturing enterprises with different brands. Here are some typical flycam manufacturing enterprises in Vietnam:

• DJI – The Chinese company DJI has established a branch in Vietnam and manufactures flycams here. DJI is considered the world’s leading flycam brand.
• Skytech – One of the pioneering enterprises in flycam manufacturing in Vietnam, Skytech has many flycam products popular in the market.
• Hovership – This enterprise specializes in manufacturing flycams for entertainment and filming, with many high-quality products.
• Flycam Viet – One of the first flycam brands in Vietnam, Flycam Viet manufactures many quality flycam products suitable for user needs.

b. Training duration

First-time safety training duration

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

The occupational safety training center will arrange the training duration into several sessions depending on the scheduling of workers. Normally, there will be 6 training sessions, the course will take place over 3 days, provided that the manufacturing enterprise arranges continuous study time.

Periodic safety training duration

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers who want reissuance must undergo a periodic occupational safety training course, with the periodic safety training duration being at least 50% of the first-time safety training duration.

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

c. Training course content

d. Occupational safety card

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

The Group 3 safety card will clearly show information such as: full name, date of birth, job, and specific working environment. It also includes training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming completion of the training course.

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

• If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must stamp and sign the safety card for the worker trained in group 3 after completing training from the occupational safety training unit and passing the test.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal and does not have a labor contract, the training unit must stamp and sign the safety card for the worker after completing training from the occupational safety training unit and passing the test.

3. Identifying Hazards in Flycams Manufacturing

The hazards in flycam manufacturing may include:

• Flycams may be equipped with many electronic components such as batteries, motors, circuits, etc. If not handled properly, these components may cause fire, explosion, or generate abnormal signals, leading to risks for workers.
• The assembly processes of flycams require carefulness and special skills. If these processes are not performed correctly, the flycam may not operate properly or may encounter safety issues.
• Flycams are often made from materials such as metal, plastic, fabric, and other substances. If these materials are not processed properly or do not meet standards, they may pose hazards to workers, such as toxicity, fire, explosion, or bursting.
• The inspection and operation processes of flycams may also pose dangers to workers. For example, flycams require battery and control checks to ensure they function correctly and do not cause safety issues.

4. Common Occupational Accidents in Flycam Manufacturing

Flycam manufacturing is a job with a high risk of occupational accidents. Common accidents during flycam manufacturing may include:

• Electric shock: When working with electronic devices and high voltage, even small mistakes can lead to the risk of electric shock.
• Puncture injuries, fire, explosion: When using materials and chemical liquids in production, there is a risk of puncture injuries, fire, or explosion if safety procedures and measures are not followed properly.
• Scratches and injuries: Moving, assembling, maintaining, or repairing flycams may cause scratches or injuries if workers do not wear protective equipment or follow safety procedures.
• Hazards during flycam testing: Testing processes may cause accidents due to loss of control or flycams falling.
• Hazards during flycam flight: Operating flycams in open space may cause accidents if safety rules are not followed, or if the flycam loses control and collides with objects or people.

5. Safety Measures in Flycam Manufacturing

To ensure safety for employees participating in flycam manufacturing, several measures must be implemented:

• Employees must be equipped with full personal protective equipment, including helmets, special shoes, gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing.
• Devices and machinery must be regularly inspected to ensure they operate safely and do not pose hazards to employees.
• All employees involved in flycam manufacturing must be trained in occupational safety, including safety procedures, accident prevention measures, and how to use protective equipment.
• Chemicals must be used properly to avoid hazards to employees.
• Materials and equipment must be well managed to avoid falling or causing hazards to employees.
• The factory must have a modern fire protection system, regularly inspected to ensure readiness in emergencies.
• Machines must be maintained periodically to ensure safe operation without posing hazards to employees.
• All employees must comply with occupational safety regulations and act accordingly to ensure their own safety and that of colleagues.
• Regularly conduct occupational environment monitoring in factories and enterprises, collecting and analyzing harmful factors for workers to adjust and reduce hazards, thereby preventing occupational diseases.
