Occupational Safety Training in Coffee Machine Manufacturing

1. Overview of Coffee Machines

a. What is a Coffee Machine?

A coffee machine (Coffee maker) is a versatile device used to brew coffee by heating water and adding ground coffee or coffee pods to produce the beverage. Modern coffee machines come with various functions and designs, including automatic coffee machines, semi-automatic coffee machines, espresso machines, drip coffee makers, manual coffee machines, and many other types.

b. Main Components of a Coffee Machine

The main components of a coffee machine include:

• Automatic coffee grinder: responsible for grinding coffee and brewing it automatically. This type of machine is commonly used in large cafes and restaurants.
• Coffee filter: a critical part of the coffee-making process. Coffee filters come in various sizes to match the coffee machine and type of coffee used.
• Coffee tamper: a device used to grind coffee into fine powder. Coffee tampers are usually equipped with powerful motors to grind large quantities efficiently.
• Water pump: a device used to pump water through the coffee filter to produce coffee. The water pump must be strong enough to pass water through the filter and create sufficient pressure for extraction.
• Valve system: an important device for controlling the water flow through the coffee filter and maintaining proper pressure.
• Control unit: the main part of the coffee machine that controls other components and executes different functions of the machine.
• Water reservoir: a tank used to hold clean water for coffee brewing.

• If the worker is freelance, seasonal, or does not have a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes the training and passes the exam.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Coffee Machine Production

During the coffee machine production process, workers may encounter various potential hazards, including:

• Risk of electric shock: During production, workers will come into contact with electrical components, wires, circuit boards, and other electronic parts, so caution is needed to avoid electric shock.
• Risk of fire and explosion: During production, workers use mechanical devices, electrical equipment, and chemicals to assemble coffee machines. Therefore, fire and explosion safety must be ensured to prevent accidents.
• Risk of poisoning: During production, workers may come into contact with toxic chemicals, dyes, solvents, and adhesives, so protective equipment should be worn, and work should be performed in a health-safe environment.
• Risk of impact: During assembly, moving, and transporting coffee machines, workers may face the risk of collisions, scratches, or injuries.
• Risk of slips and falls: During moving and assembling coffee machines, workers may face risks of tripping over materials, equipment, and production tools.
