Occupational safety training for manufacturing bank card reader machines

1. Overview of Bank Card Reader Machines

a. What is a Bank Card Reader Machine?

A bank card reader machine, abbreviated as POS (Point of Sale), is an electronic device used to accept payment via bank cards or credit cards from customers in shopping or service payment transactions.

POS machines typically have a touch screen or keypad for entering transaction information and confirming payments. They can read and process information from bank cards or credit cards, such as card number, expiration date, and security code. Then, the POS machine connects to the banking system or card company to verify the information and transfer money from the customer’s account to the seller’s account.

POS machines can be used in various industries and locations, including retail stores, restaurants, hotels, cafes, supermarkets, and other points of sale. They enhance convenience and transaction speed while minimizing the need for cash and paperwork during payment.

b. Machinery Used in Producing Bank Card Reader Machines

The manufacturing and assembly process of bank card reader machines (POS) often involves various types of machinery and equipment. Below are some commonly used machines in this process:

• Metal processing machines: Used to produce metal parts of POS machines, such as casing and impact-resistant frames. Metal processing machines like cutting machines, milling machines, lathes, and metal presses can be used. These machines help cut, bend, drill, and process metal parts according to design requirements.
• Plastic molding and injection machines: Some POS parts can be made from plastic. Plastic molding or injection machines are used to create plastic parts such as covers, casing, or buttons of POS machines.
• Metal pressing and welding equipment: To attach metal parts together or to plastic parts, metal presses or welding equipment may be used. They create strong and durable connections between POS components.
• Component loading machines: POS assembly often involves loading components and parts into precise positions. Automated component loaders ensure accuracy and efficiency during this process.
• Testing and quality inspection machines: To ensure POS machines operate correctly and reliably, testing and quality inspection machines may be used. They detect errors, check functions, and confirm the POS machine meets quality standards.
• Printing and labeling machines: Finally, after full assembly, printing and labeling machines are used to print and attach product information, brand, or instructions on the machine surface.

2. Overview of Occupational Safety Training for Bank Card Reader Machine Production

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

a. What is Group 3 Occupational Safety Training?

• Group 3 occupational safety training consists of sessions that equip workers with awareness on preventing workplace accidents.
• Occupational safety training helps workers recognize and avoid hazards, minimizing risks of accidents while working.

b. Training Duration

Initial occupational safety training duration

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including testing time.
• 8 hours theory on occupational safety policies and laws
• 8 hours theory on basic occupational safety knowledge
• 4 hours theory on specialized training content
• 2 hours practical on specialized training content
• 2 hours final theory test

The training center divides the time into multiple sessions depending on employee scheduling. Typically, there are 6 sessions over 3 days if the company can schedule continuous training.

Periodic occupational safety training

• Before the occupational safety card expires, employees who want reissuance must undergo periodic occupational safety training with a duration of at least 50% of the initial training time.

Explanation: Total periodic training time is at least 12 hours, including testing. After completing the periodic training and passing the test, workers are reissued or extended the occupational safety card.

c. Training Content

See more training content of the 6 groups

d. Occupational Safety Card

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

The Group 3 card includes information such as full name, date of birth, job, and specific working environment, along with training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

According to 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 authenticate the occupational safety card after the employee completes the training and passes the test.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary without a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and authenticate the occupational safety card after the employee completes the training and passes the test.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Bank Card Reader Production

When producing bank card readers, there are some potential hazards that can affect workers. Below are the main hazards and how to identify them:

• Electrical safety hazards: Bank card readers operate on electricity and involve electrical circuits and electronic components. Risks such as short circuits, electric shocks, or other electrical issues may occur. Identifying this hazard includes checking and ensuring that electrical systems, circuits, and electronic components meet electrical safety standards.
• Hazards from toxic materials: During the production of card readers, materials such as chemicals, plastics, metals, and other substances may be used. Exposure to hazardous materials can harm workers’ health. Identifying this hazard includes ensuring the use of safe materials and complying with regulations on waste management and disposal.
• Occupational accident hazards: In the production process, tasks such as metal processing, assembly, and the use of machinery and tools may pose risks of accidents such as cuts, lacerations, crushing, impacts, or falls. Identifying this hazard includes ensuring the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as helmets, gloves, safety glasses, and safety training for workers.
• Noise and lighting hazards: Machinery and equipment may generate strong noise and lighting. Unsafe noise and lighting can harm workers’ hearing and vision.

4. Common Occupational Accidents for Workers in Bank Card Reader Production

Some common occupational accidents during bank card reader production include:

• Cut and laceration accidents: When working with cutting tools, metal processing, or assembling card reader parts, the risk of cuts and lacerations is very high. This can occur if safety procedures are not followed, protective equipment is not used, or sharp materials are not handled carefully.
• Collision and injury from falling heavy objects: During transport, movement, and assembly of card readers, heavy parts may fall and cause accidents. Workers should pay attention and comply with transport regulations and safe working procedures to avoid collisions and injuries.
• Electrical accidents: When working with circuits, electronic components, and power sources, the risk of short circuits, electric shocks, and other electrical hazards is high. Workers should be trained in electrical safety, use protective equipment, and follow safety procedures to prevent electrical accidents.
• Machinery-related accidents: During the use of production machinery, the risk of crushing, impact, or entrapment is high. Workers should be trained on safe machinery operation, follow operational procedures, and use personal protective equipment to prevent accidents.
• Accidents during welding and spot welding: Welding processes may cause accidents such as fire, burns, or respiratory hazards. Workers should use protective equipment, follow safety procedures, and work in well-ventilated areas to ensure safety.

5. Safety Measures for Participating in Bank Card Reader Production
