Occupational Safety Training in Vacuum Pump Manufacturing

1. Overview of Vacuum Pumps

a. What is a Vacuum Pump?

A vacuum pump is an industrial device used to create a vacuum environment within a container or a specified space. The vacuum pump works by removing gas molecules from the space, generating a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.

This rarefied environment is applied in many industrial processes, including food processing, packaging, pharmaceutical production, electronics, scientific research, and the manufacture of machinery and industrial equipment. Vacuum pumps are typically equipped with gas filters to remove dust and moisture to ensure the highest quality of vacuum air possible.

b. Types of Machinery Used in Vacuum Pump Manufacturing

The vacuum pump manufacturing process usually involves multiple steps, each requiring specific machinery. Some common machines used in vacuum pump production include:

• Metal cutting and processing machines: These machines are used to cut, polish, and process metal to create key components of the vacuum pump, such as containers, compressors, pump heads, and other parts.
• Welding machines: Used to weld metal parts together to form containers, pumps, and other components.
• Grinding and polishing machines: For producing containers and other parts with high precision, grinding and polishing machines are used to refine metal components.
• Mechanical machines: Machines such as lathes, milling machines, and drills are used to shape the components and parts of vacuum pumps.
• Casting machines: Casting machines are used to mold metal parts into the required shapes and sizes for vacuum pump components.
• Inspection machines: These are used to check the quality of vacuum pump components to ensure they meet required standards.

2. Overview of Occupational Safety Training for Vacuum Pump Manufacturing

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

a. What is Group 3 Occupational Safety Training?

• Group 3 Occupational Safety Training consists of sessions that provide workers with awareness on accident prevention.
• The training program helps workers identify hazards and avoid risks, minimizing the chance of occupational accidents during work.

b. Training Duration

Initial safety training duration

• The total training time is at least 24 hours, including testing time.
• 8 hours of theory on safety policies and labor hygiene laws
• 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety knowledge
• 4 hours of theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practical training on specialized content
• 2 hours of theoretical assessment at the end of the training

The safety training center schedules sessions depending on workers’ availability. Typically, there are 6 sessions over 3 days if continuous training time is feasible.

Periodic safety training duration

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers seeking renewal must attend periodic occupational safety training with a duration of at least 50% of the initial training time.

Explanation: Total periodic safety training must be at least 12 hours, including testing time. Upon completing the periodic training and passing the assessment, workers will have their occupational safety card renewed.

c. Training Content

d. Occupational Safety Card

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

The Group 3 safety card displays personal information such as name, date of birth, job, and specific work environment, along with training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming completion of the course.

According to 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 sign, stamp, and validate the safety card for Group 3 employees after completing training and passing the assessment.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal with no labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes training and passes the assessment.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Vacuum Pump Production

Hazards affecting workers during vacuum pump production may include:

• Risk of impact, cuts, tears: Vacuum pump production machinery may have sharp parts or edges, making collisions, cuts, tears, or puncture accidents very likely.
• Risk of burns: Welding, cutting, and grinding during vacuum pump production may cause burn injuries.
• Risk of electrical accidents: Electronic components in vacuum pump production may also pose a risk of electrical accidents.
• Environmental hazards: Some production processes may result in environmental pollution due to the use of toxic chemicals, noise, or dust.
• Risk of physical strain: Moving, lifting, and installing machinery parts during production may impose physical strain on workers.
• Risk from pressure: Handling and testing vacuum pumps under high pressure may lead to accident risks.

4. Common Occupational Accidents in Vacuum Pump Production

Common occupational accidents during vacuum pump production may include:

• Impact injuries: Workers may be injured while operating machinery, for example by colliding with machine parts or handheld tools during assembly.
• Chemical poisoning: Chemicals and solvents used in production can cause poisoning. Without proper protective equipment and working in enclosed spaces, workers may be harmed by toxic gases.
• Eye injuries from foreign objects: Small materials may fly during production and enter workers’ eyes, causing scratches or corneal punctures.
• Accidents from lifting equipment: Moving and installing heavy machinery may cause accidents if lifting equipment is used improperly.
• Electrical hazards: Risks such as electrical leakage, short circuits, or sparks can cause accidents during production.

5. Safety Measures for Participating in Vacuum Pump Production
