a. What is Group 3 occupational safety training?

• Group 3 occupational safety training consists of classes that provide workers with awareness of accident prevention methods.
• The safety training course helps workers identify and avoid hazards, reducing the risk of occupational accidents while working.

b. Training duration

Initial safety training

• Total training duration is at least 24 hours, including examination time.
• 8 hours of theory on occupational safety and hygiene policies and laws.
• 8 hours of theory on basic knowledge of occupational safety and hygiene.
• 4 hours of theory on specialized training content.
• 2 hours of practice on specialized training content.
• 2 hours of theoretical examination at the end of the course.

The training center will schedule sessions depending on the availability of workers. Typically, there are 6 training sessions over 3 days, provided the company can allocate continuous training time.

Periodic safety training

• Before the occupational safety card expires, workers must undergo periodic occupational safety training for at least 50% of the initial training duration if they wish to renew their card.

Explanation: total periodic occupational safety training duration is at least 12 hours, including examination time. After completing the periodic training and passing the test, workers will have their occupational safety cards renewed.

c. Training content

d. Occupational safety card

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

The Group 3 safety card shows personal information such as full name, date of birth, job, and work environment, along with training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

According to 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, stamp, and validate the safety card for Group 3 trainees after they complete the training course and pass the test.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal and does not have a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes the training course and passes the test.

3. Identifying hazards affecting workers when manufacturing rice cookers

Some hazards that may affect workers during rice cooker production include:

• Risk of electric shock: Employees frequently come into contact with electricity and electronic components when assembling and testing rice cookers. If components are faulty or improperly installed, it may result in electric shock hazards.
• Risk of fire and explosion: The use of flammable materials during rice cooker production can lead to fire and explosion risks. To minimize this risk, employees must follow safety procedures and ensure materials meet quality and safety standards.
• Risk of injury: Employees often have to transport and lift heavy rice cooker parts during production. If proper lifting techniques or supporting equipment are not used, this may lead to injury risks.
• Risk of chemical exposure: The rice cooker production process may involve chemicals such as solvents, adhesives, coatings, and other hazardous compounds. Without proper protective equipment and safety procedures, employees may be exposed to these harmful substances.
• Risk of machinery accidents: Machines used in rice cooker production can pose accident risks if employees do not follow safety procedures when operating machinery.

4. Common occupational accidents for workers during rice cooker production

Common occupational accidents for workers during rice cooker production include:

• Fire and explosion accidents: The production process involves devices and materials that are flammable and explosive, not to mention chemical usage. Failure to comply with safety regulations may cause fire or explosion hazards and endanger workers.
• Cutting and piercing accidents: During processing, the use of cutting, drilling, and grinding equipment may lead to cutting accidents if workers do not wear proper protective equipment or use devices incorrectly.
• Falls and collisions: These accidents usually occur when workers move or transport components and equipment during production. Non-compliance with safety rules can result in hazards.
• Electrical accidents: Rice cooker production involves using electrical power and devices, which may cause electric shock if used improperly.
• Chemical accidents: Workers may need to use chemicals for processing, cleaning, or maintenance. Improper usage can endanger their health.

5. Safety measures when participating in rice cooker production

Some safety measures when participating in rice cooker production include:

• Ensuring operator safety: Employees must be trained in techniques and occupational safety. They should be provided with full protective equipment such as helmets, safety glasses, masks, gloves, safety shoes, and protective clothing. Employees must ensure hands and other body parts are not trapped in machines during operation.
• Ensuring electrical safety: Since rice cookers are electrical devices, ensuring electrical safety is critical. Motors, compressors, pumps, and other electrical equipment must be inspected regularly to ensure proper functioning and prevent fire or explosion hazards.
• Using protective devices: The rice cooker factory should implement protective devices such as safety locks, optical sensors, collision sensors, automatic power shut-offs, overload protection systems, and other protective equipment to ensure employee and equipment safety.
• Controlling fire and explosion risks: The factory must manage fire and explosion hazards by using fire-resistant materials and fire-protection devices.
• Regular maintenance: Rice cooker production equipment must be maintained regularly to ensure safe operation and prevent hazards to workers.
• Ensuring food safety hygiene: As rice cookers are used for cooking, production processes and equipment must comply with food safety hygiene standards to protect consumer health.
• Occupational safety training: Operators of rice cooker production machinery must be trained to identify and prevent hazards.
• Periodically conduct workplace environmental monitoring in factories, collecting and analyzing harmful factors to reduce risk levels and prevent occupational diseases for workers.
