• If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign, stamp, and affix the card for the Group 3 trained employee after completing the training and passing the examination.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal with no labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and affix the card after the worker completes the training and passes the examination.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers During Air Conditioner Manufacturing

During the air conditioner manufacturing process, workers may face various hazards, including:

• Electrical hazards: Air conditioner manufacturing staff often work with high-voltage electricity, which can cause electrical accidents if protective equipment is not used properly.
• Machinery hazards: Workers must operate complex machinery, which can cause accidents if safety measures are not ensured.
• Material hazards: Materials used in air conditioner manufacturing, such as metals, chemicals, and liquefied gases, can be toxic and affect workers’ health.
• Noise hazards: Machinery in air conditioner factories produces high noise levels, which can harm hearing and overall health of workers.
• Pressure hazards: During manufacturing, workers handle liquefied gases and high-pressure equipment, which can cause accidents if safety is not maintained.
• Temperature hazards: Air conditioners are often manufactured in low-temperature conditions, which may reduce the body’s adaptability to the working environment and cause other health issues.
• Fire and explosion hazards: Flammable materials and liquefied gases in air conditioner manufacturing can cause fire or explosions, requiring workers to strictly follow safety procedures.
