• If the worker is freelance or temporary, without a labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and seal the safety card after the worker completes training and passes the assessment.

3. Identifying Hazards Affecting Workers in Headphone Manufacturing

During the headphone manufacturing process, hazards that may affect workers’ health include:

• Noise: Workers in headphone manufacturing factories may have to work in noisy environments, especially when operating large machinery. Noise can cause hearing problems and induce stress for workers.
• Dust and chemicals: In headphone manufacturing factories, workers may be exposed to dust particles and hazardous chemicals such as adhesives, dyes, and softening agents. These substances can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation, leading to serious health issues.
• Temperature and humidity: Headphone manufacturing factories may have hot and humid working environments, especially during production and the operation of large machinery. Working in these conditions can cause fatigue and reduce workers’ productivity.
• Occupational accidents: During headphone manufacturing, workers may encounter accidents such as cuts, punctures, or crushing injuries while operating machinery.
• Electrical hazards: If electrical equipment in the factory is not regularly maintained, not properly insulated, or waterproofed, it can pose a risk of electric shock to workers during production.

4. Common Types of Occupational Accidents in Headphone Manufacturing

Common occupational accidents in headphone manufacturing include:

• Electrical short-circuit accidents: Working with electronic components can cause electrical shorts if proper safety measures are not followed.
• Collision accidents: Employees in headphone factories may get injured from collisions with machinery, equipment, or other workers.
• Slip and fall accidents: Employees may slip or fall while moving around or operating equipment, leading to injuries.
• Cutting and puncture accidents: Tasks such as cutting, drilling, or nailing during headphone manufacturing can pose hazards to employees.
• Eye-related accidents: Workers need to work with bright lights, machinery, and small components, which may cause eye strain, headaches, and other vision-related issues.
• Exposure-related accidents: Certain materials in headphone manufacturing can negatively impact workers’ health, including respiratory issues, unpleasant odors, skin irritation, and other health problems.

5. Safety Measures for Headphone Manufacturing

To ensure worker safety during headphone production, the following measures can be implemented:

• Provide personal protective equipment such as safety goggles, masks, long sleeves, gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Maintain workplace hygiene, keeping it clean, ventilated, and minimizing dust and noise.
• Train workers on occupational safety, especially regarding the proper use of machinery, equipment, and materials to reduce the risk of accidents.
