b. Training Duration

Initial occupational safety training:

• Total training time is at least 24 hours, including examination time.
• 8 hours of theory on occupational safety and hygiene policies and legislation
• 8 hours of theory on basic occupational safety and hygiene knowledge
• 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 training course

The safety training center will divide the time into multiple sessions depending on workers’ schedules. Usually, there are 6 training sessions over 3 days, provided the factory can arrange continuous training.

Periodic occupational safety training:

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

Explanation: The total duration of periodic occupational safety training is at least 12 hours, including examination time. Upon completion and passing the test, the worker will be reissued and have the occupational safety card extended.

d. Occupational Safety Card

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

The Group 3 safety card contains information such as full name, date of birth, job, and specific work environment. It also shows training duration, red stamp, and signature confirming completion of training.

According to regulations on issuing safety cards in Clause 2 of Article 24 of Decree 44/2016/ND-CP, there are 2 cases:

• If there is an employment contract between the employer and employee, the employer must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card for the trained Group 3 worker after completing training and passing the test.
• If the worker is freelance or temporary without an employment contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after the worker completes the training and passes the test.

3. Recognizing Hazards Affecting Workers in Candle Wax Manufacturing

The candle wax manufacturing process can contain many hazards that affect workers’ health. Below are some hazards that need to be recognized and addressed during the candle wax manufacturing process:

• Candle wax is flammable, so the manufacturing process requires using fireproof equipment and ensuring fire safety measures when handling candle wax.
• During candle wax manufacturing, the use of chemicals and fragrances can release toxic fumes. Production workers must wear masks and be trained to use respiratory protection devices such as air purifiers, gas extractors, and fume hoods.
• The process of pouring wax into molds, adjusting temperature, and production timing can cause burns and explosion risks. Production workers must ensure their safety by using personal protective equipment such as gloves, fireproof jackets, and safety goggles.
• Candle wax manufacturing requires the use of various machinery and equipment, which can pose collision and injury risks to workers. Workers need to be trained and use protective gear such as helmets, safety shoes, and fireproof jackets to ensure workplace safety.
• The candle wax manufacturing process may produce smoke and dust, causing air pollution in the factory. Production workers need to be trained to use protective equipment such as masks and safety glasses to safeguard their health.

4. Common Workplace Accidents for Workers in Candle Wax Manufacturing

Common workplace accidents during candle wax manufacturing include:

• Fire and explosion: Candle wax is flammable, creating risks of fire and explosion during manufacturing and pouring wax into molds. This can cause serious injuries or fatalities.
• Burns: Workers may suffer burns from hot wax, manufacturing machines, wax-heating equipment, and chemicals used in the manufacturing process.
• Injuries: Accidents may occur while operating machinery, equipment, or tools used in candle wax manufacturing. Production workers may be injured when handling wax materials and mechanical equipment.
• Toxic exposure: Chemicals used in candle wax manufacturing can harm workers’ health. Workers may be exposed to toxic substances through inhalation, direct contact, or accidental ingestion.
• Hearing loss: Loud noise from machines and equipment may reduce workers’ hearing. Without proper protective measures, production workers may develop hearing issues.

Therefore, candle wax production workers must be trained in occupational safety and use full protective equipment to minimize workplace accidents.

5. Safety Measures in Candle Wax Manufacturing

To minimize workplace accident risks during candle wax manufacturing, the following safety measures should be applied:

• Staff training: Candle wax production workers must be trained in occupational safety and the use of protective equipment to avoid hazards at work.
• Use of protective equipment: Production workers must use full protective gear such as masks, safety goggles, gloves, protective jackets, and safety shoes to reduce risks of fire, burns, injuries, and toxic exposure.
• Use of safety equipment: Production staff should utilize fire extinguishers, rescue equipment, ventilation systems, and other safety devices to address potential hazardous situations.
• Conduct safety inspections: Machines and equipment in candle wax manufacturing should be regularly inspected to ensure safety and prevent accidents.
• Adjust the working environment: Proper lighting, humidity, temperature, and ventilation are simple yet essential measures to improve the working environment, reduce accident risks, and enhance productivity.
• Use chemicals safely: Chemicals used in candle wax manufacturing should be stored, used, and transported correctly to reduce risks of toxic exposure and fire.
• Designated wax storage areas: The manufacturing area should have designated wax storage away from heat sources and flammable materials to minimize fire risks.
• Regularly conduct occupational environment monitoring in factories, collect and analyze harmful factors, and adjust measures to reduce hazards and prevent occupational diseases.
