Occupational safety training for plastic pellet manufacturing

1. Overview of plastic pellets

a. What are plastic pellets?

• Plastic pellets are small beads manufactured from various types of plastic, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, PET, and other plastics. These pellets are commonly used to manufacture plastic products, such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic sheets, plastic pipes, plastic films, and many other products.
• Plastic pellets are manufactured through a plastic processing process, in which plastic raw materials are fed into a grinding machine, then into a press or injection molding machine to create uniform plastic pellets with a consistent size and shape.
• Plastic pellets are also used to recycle plastic. When used plastic products are no longer needed, they are sent to plastic recycling factories, where they are processed and converted into plastic pellets. These plastic pellets are then used to manufacture new plastic products, minimizing plastic waste and reducing environmental impact.

b. Types of machinery for plastic pellet manufacturing

There are many types of machinery used for plastic pellet manufacturing, which include:

• Plastic grinder: This machine is used to grind plastic sheets, bottles, and other plastic materials into a smaller granular form for easier subsequent processing.
• Plastic press machine: This machine is used to press the ground plastic pellets into pellets of a uniform size.
• Plastic injection molding machine: This machine is used to injection mold plastic pellets through molds to create various plastic products, such as plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic sheets, plastic pipes, and many other products.
• Plastic recycling machine: This machine is used to process and recycle old plastic products into new plastic pellets. This recycling process helps minimize plastic waste and reduce environmental impact.
• Plastic sorting machine: This machine is used to sort different plastic products for easy recycling and manufacturing of new plastic products.

These types of machinery play a crucial role in the plastic pellet manufacturing and recycling process, helping to minimize plastic waste and environmental impact.

b. Training duration

Initial safety training duration

• The total training duration is at least 24 hours, including the time for testing.
• 8 hours of theoretical study on the system of policies and laws on occupational safety and health
• 8 hours of theoretical study on basic knowledge of occupational safety and health
• 4 hours of theoretical study on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practical training on specialized training content
• 2 hours of theoretical testing at the end of the training course

The safety training center will divide the time into several training sessions depending on the time arrangement for employees. However, there are usually 6 training sessions, and the course will last for 3 days, provided that the manufacturing company can arrange continuous study time.

Periodic safety training duration

• Before the safety card expires, if employees want to have it reissued, they must undergo a periodic occupational safety training course, with the periodic safety training duration being at least 50% of the initial safety training duration.

Explanation: The total duration of periodic occupational safety training is at least 12 hours, including the time for testing. After completing the periodic training course and passing the test, the employee will be re-issued or have their safety card renewed.

c. Content of the training course

See more training content for 6 groups

d. Occupational safety card

After completing the occupational safety training course and passing the test, the employee will be issued an occupational safety card (also commonly known as a Group 3 occupational safety certificate).

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

According to the regulations on issuing safety cards specified in clause 2 article 24 of decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are two cases:

• In the case where the employer and the employee have an employment contract with each other, the employer must sign, seal, and interleaf the safety card for the trained Group 3 employee after they have completed the training course from the occupational safety training unit and passed the test.
• In the case of a freelance or seasonal worker who does not have an employment contract, the training unit must sign, seal, and interleaf the safety card for the employee after they have completed the training course from the occupational safety training unit and passed the test.
