Occupational Safety Training in Water Purifier Manufacturing

1. Overview of Water Purifiers

a. What is a Water Purifier?

A water purifier, also called a drinking water purifier, household water purifier, or purified water purifier, is a device used to filter and purify drinking water. It is designed to remove contaminants, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, microorganisms, and other impurities that may be present in water.

Water purifiers are commonly used in households, companies, schools, and government agencies to provide clean and safe drinking water. They can operate using various methods such as mechanical filtration, chemical filtration, and membrane filtration.

There are many types of water purifiers, ranging from simple models to more complex devices with multiple functions. Common types of water purifiers include filter tanks, household water purifiers, ultra-pure water purifiers, desalination purifiers, and hot & cold water purifiers.

b. Main Components of a Water Purifier

The main components that make up a complete water purifier usually include:

• Filtration system: The filtration system consists of different filters, which may include activated carbon, reverse osmosis, ultra-fine filters, and sand/gravel filters to remove impurities from water.
• Water pump: The water pump increases pressure and moves water through the filters.
• Control system: The control system includes electronic components, controllers, sensors, and other parts to regulate pressure, temperature, filtration level, and other parameters.
• Water supply system: The water supply system includes pipes, valves, tubing, and other components to deliver purified water from the tank to distribution points.
• Electrical system: The electrical system includes electronic components, electrodes, power sources, and other parts to supply electricity to the control system and other devices.
• Machine casing and other parts: The casing and other parts include plastic, metal, and additional components to complete the device.

2. Overview of Occupational Safety Training for Water Purifier Manufacturing

In this article, we focus on Group 3 because Group 3 directly participates in production and faces the highest occupational safety risks. See other groups here.

a. What is Group 3 Occupational Safety Training?

• Group 3 occupational safety training provides workers with knowledge and awareness on preventing workplace accidents.
• The training helps workers recognize hazards and minimize risks of accidents while working.

b. Training Duration

Initial safety training

• Total training duration is at least 24 hours, including tests.
• 8 hours of theory on policies, labor laws, and occupational hygiene
• 8 hours of basic safety and hygiene theory
• 4 hours of specialized training theory
• 2 hours of practical exercises on specialized training
• 2 hours of theoretical test at the end of the course

The training center schedules multiple sessions depending on workers’ availability, usually 6 sessions over 3 days, provided the enterprise allows continuous learning.

Periodic safety training

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

Explanation: Total periodic training time is at least 12 hours, including tests. After completing training and passing the test, the worker’s safety card is renewed.

c. Training Content

d. Occupational Safety Card

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

The Group 3 safety card clearly shows the worker’s name, date of birth, job, and specific work environment, as well as training duration, red seal, and signature confirming course completion.

According to regulations 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 sign and stamp the occupational safety card for Group 3 workers after training and passing the test.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign and stamp the safety card after the worker completes training and passes the test.

3. Recognizing hazards affecting workers during water purifier manufacturing

During the production of water purifiers, workers may be exposed to the following hazards:

• Chemical hazards: Chemicals used in water purifier manufacturing, such as cleaning agents, adhesives, dyes, colorants, hardening agents, etc., can be harmful to workers’ health.
• Noise and vibration: Machinery in water purifier manufacturing plants often generates harmful noise and vibration that can affect workers’ health.
• Collision and injury risks: During production, accidents such as collisions, injuries from heavy objects, hard or sharp materials may occur.
• Electrical shock risks: When working with electrical equipment, workers may suffer electric shock if they do not wear proper protective equipment.
• Air pollution risks: During production, smoke, toxic fumes, and harmful gases can pollute indoor air, affecting workers’ health.
• Poisoning risks: Accidental ingestion of toxic substances or inhalation of harmful fumes may occur during production.
• Occupational accidents: Accidents such as burns, cuts, and injuries may happen when using cutting tools or knives.
