3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Cement Furniture Manufacturing

Producing cement furniture also involves several potential hazards that can affect workers’ health and safety, as follows:

• Noise: Operating machinery in a cement furniture manufacturing factory generates high noise levels, which can impact workers’ hearing.
• Dust: During manufacturing, cutting, grinding, and drilling cement can create cement dust harmful to workers’ respiratory systems.
• Heat exposure: Cement curing generates heat, which can cause burns if workers are not properly protected.
• Electricity: Electrical equipment in cement furniture manufacturing factories can pose voltage hazards if not properly maintained and used.
• Chemicals: Some chemicals such as sand, cement, and dyes used in manufacturing can be harmful to workers’ health if not handled correctly.

4. Common Occupational Accidents for Workers in Cement Furniture Manufacturing

Common occupational accidents in cement furniture manufacturing include:

• Fire accidents: Cement furniture manufacturing often requires the use of fire and hot tools for molding and processing products. Failure to follow safety procedures and control fire risks can endanger workers’ lives and property.
• Accidents from inhaling dust and toxic fumes: During cement furniture manufacturing, airborne dust and toxic fumes can be inhaled by workers, causing health problems such as pneumonia, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases.
• Physical injury accidents: Producing cement furniture involves using tools and machinery to cut, mold, and process cement materials. Improper use can result in punctures, cuts, or injuries from falls.
• Accidents from physical load: Cement furniture is often heavy and bulky, requiring workers to move, transport, and install products. Incorrect handling or lifting techniques can lead to load-related injuries or disabilities.

5. Safety Measures When Participating in Cement Furniture Manufacturing
