Occupational Safety Training in Air Purifier Manufacturing

1. Overview of Air Purifiers

a. What is an Air Purifier?

An air purifier is a device used to clean indoor air by removing dust particles, bacteria, viruses, odors, cigarette smoke, chemicals, and other allergens. Air purifiers work by drawing air through filters and releasing clean air.

Air purifiers are commonly used in enclosed spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, or offices to reduce health hazards and improve air quality.

b. Machinery Used in Air Purifier Manufacturing

The manufacturing and assembly process of air purifiers involves the following main types of machinery:

• Metal cutting machines: used to cut metal materials into molds and smaller components for air purifier assembly.
• Metal bending machines: used to bend metal parts into shapes and sizes suitable for design requirements.
• Plastic injection machines: used to mold plastic parts for assembling air purifiers.
• Welding machines: used to weld metal and plastic parts together to form the frames of air purifiers.
• Foam cutting machines: used to cut foam into appropriate sizes for packaging into air purifiers.
• Assembly machines: used to assemble small parts together to complete the final product.

These machines are typically used in factories producing air purifiers to ensure high-quality products that are safe and effective for users.

b. Training Duration

Initial Safety Training

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including examination time.
• 8 hours of theoretical lessons on safety policies and labor hygiene laws
• 8 hours of theoretical lessons on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
• 4 hours of theoretical lessons on specialized training content
• 2 hours of practical lessons on specialized training content
• 2 hours for the final theoretical examination

The safety training center schedules sessions based on worker availability. Typically, there are six sessions over three days, provided the manufacturer can allocate continuous training time.

Periodic Safety Training

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers must complete periodic occupational safety training, with training duration being at least 50% of the initial training duration.

Explanation: The total periodic occupational safety training lasts at least 12 hours, including examination time. Upon completing the periodic training and passing the exam, workers will have their safety card renewed.

d. Occupational Safety Card

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

The Group 3 safety card displays the worker’s full name, date of birth, job position, and work environment. It also shows training duration, an official stamp, and a signature confirming course completion.

According to regulations in Clause 2, 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 workers after completing training from a certified safety training provider and passing the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary without a labor contract, the training provider must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes training and passes the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Air Purifier Production

During the production of air purifiers, workers may be affected by the following hazards:

• Impact of chemicals: Chemicals used in air purifier production such as cleaning agents, detergents, fillers, surface coating chemicals, and coloring agents may have harmful effects on workers’ health, such as eye and respiratory irritation, skin damage, or poisoning if directly contacted or inhaled.
• Occupational accident risks: Equipment and machinery used in air purifier production, such as cutting machines, lathes, grinders, and welding machines, may cause workplace accidents if not operated properly and if workers do not follow safety procedures.
• Noise exposure: Certain stages of air purifier production, such as cutting or milling, may generate high and prolonged noise, affecting workers’ hearing.
• Electrical hazards: If electrical equipment in the factory is not regularly maintained, properly insulated, and waterproofed, it can pose a risk of electric shock to workers during production.
• Exposure to dust and fine particles: Dust and fine particles may be generated and suspended in the air during production, affecting workers’ respiratory health when inhaled.
• Exposure to UV rays and ozone: Processes using UV and ozone for air purification may affect workers’ health if not properly handled.

4. Common Workplace Accidents for Workers in Air Purifier Production

Common workplace accidents during air purifier production may include:

• Collision accidents: During transportation and handling of air purifier components, collisions with hard objects or other workers may occur, resulting in injuries such as head trauma, broken bones, or cuts.
• Cutting and puncture accidents: During metal cutting, processing, or assembly, sharp tools such as knives, scissors, or drill bits may be used. Without protective equipment, workers may injure themselves or others.
• Spray and splash accidents: Liquids, chemicals, or other objects may splash onto workers during machinery operation, causing injuries, burns, or health risks.
• Electrical accidents: Electrical devices used in air purifier production may pose life-threatening hazards if not handled correctly.
