Occupational safety training for operating bottle labeling machines

1. Overview of Bottle Labeling Machines

a. What is a Bottle Labeling Machine?

A Bottle Labeling Machine is an industrial device used to automatically apply labels to bottles, cans, or similar packaged products. This machine helps improve efficiency and ensures accuracy in the packaging and labeling process.

Bottle labeling machines increase productivity, reduce human error, and ensure that products are packaged and labeled correctly according to standards. This is important to guarantee consistency and product safety before distribution to the market.

b. Operating principle of a Bottle Labeling Machine

The operating principle of a bottle labeling machine usually includes the following steps:

• Supply bottles and labels: Bottles or products to be labeled are fed into the labeling machine from a supply source. Labels are usually supplied in rolls and preloaded into the machine.
• Detect bottle position: Labeling machines often use sensors or vision systems to determine the position and orientation of bottles, helping the machine know where to apply the label.
• Label positioning: Once the machine detects the bottle position, it positions the label to ensure it is applied at the correct location on the bottle.
• Apply label: The machine uses mechanisms or systems to attach the label to the bottle. Various methods can be used, including rollers, pads, or pneumatic systems to firmly apply the label.
• Pressure and adhesion: After labeling, the machine often applies pressure to ensure the label sticks firmly to the bottle without peeling.
• Inspection and quality control: The machine may be equipped with quality inspection systems to ensure labels are correctly applied and free of defects.
• Output product: Once labeling is completed successfully, the bottles or products are discharged from the machine for further production or packaging.

c. Industries that use Bottle Labeling Machines

Bottle labeling machines are used in various manufacturing industries, especially in packaging and bottling sectors. Some main industries using bottle labeling machines include:

• Food and Beverage Industry: Companies producing food, beverages, beer, wine, and other canned products often use bottle labeling machines to label bottles, cans, jars, and packaging.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Pharmaceutical manufacturers need accurate labeling to meet safety and regulatory requirements, so they use bottle labeling machines for their products.
• Chemical Industry: Manufacturers of chemicals, cleaning products, cosmetics, and personal care products often use bottle labeling machines for labeling bottles or jars.
• Tobacco and related products: Companies producing tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and related items also use bottle labeling machines for labeling their products.
• Paper and Packaging Industry: Companies producing paper boxes, packaging, and containers may also use bottle labeling machines for product labeling.
• Other Chemical and Industrial Products: Besides the above industries, bottle labeling machines are also used in manufacturing lubricants, paints, adhesives, and various other products.

d. Occupational safety card

After completing the occupational safety training and passing the exam, employees are issued a safety card (commonly called occupational safety certificate for Group 3).

Group 3 safety cards display full information including name, date of birth, job and working environment, training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming course completion.

According to regulations in Clause 2 of Article 24, 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 after training and passing the exam.
• If the worker is freelance or seasonal with no labor contract, the training unit must sign, stamp, and validate the safety card after training and passing the exam.

3. Hazards When Operating Bottle Labeling Machines

Operating bottle labeling machines can involve various hazards and risks, especially if safety rules are not followed and proper maintenance is not ensured. Below are some common hazards when operating bottle labeling machines:

• Physical injury: Employees can get injured when working near the machine, especially while it is operating. Risks include collisions, crushing, pinching, or getting caught between machine parts.
• Fire and explosion risk: If the labeling machine uses fuel, oils, or high heat sources, there may be fire or explosion risks. This is particularly important in chemical manufacturing industries.
• Chemical and physical hazards: Bottle labeling machines may use chemicals or oils for smoothing and labeling. Exposure to these chemicals or toxic substances is a concern.
• Labeling process errors: Improper adjustment or maintenance of the machine can cause labeling errors, leading to product and time waste.
• Technical malfunctions: Bottle labeling machines may experience technical failures or breakdowns, disrupting production and requiring repair time.
• Electrical hazards: If the machine is powered by electricity, there is a risk of electric shock in case of electrical system failure.

4. Measures to Control Workplace Accidents When Operating Bottle Labeling Machines

To ensure safety when operating bottle labeling machines, the following safety measures should be applied:

• Employee training: Ensure employees are fully trained in the safe operation and maintenance of bottle labeling machines.
• Regular maintenance: Conduct periodic maintenance to ensure the machine operates correctly and safely.
• Compliance with safety rules: Follow specific safety regulations for the labeling machine, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Inspection and incident reporting: Perform regular inspections and report any incidents or technical faults immediately to prevent accidents.
• Use of protective equipment: Ensure all employees working near the labeling machine wear appropriate PPE such as safety glasses, helmets, and protective clothing.
