- Loader: Used for moving and lifting materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and other building materials.
- Road Roller: Used to compact and flatten road surfaces to create a smooth and firm base layer.
- Drilling Machine: Used to drill holes in soil or rock for foundation piles, infrastructure installations, or water well drilling.
- Explosive Machines: Used in special projects to blast rock or soil during dam construction, mining, and similar works.
- Concrete Cutter: Used to cut or remove layers of concrete, often applied in pipeline work and infrastructure projects.
- Stone Crusher: Used to crush stones into smaller particles, often for sand production and other construction applications.
These are just a few examples, not a complete list. The construction industry uses many different machines and equipment depending on the type of work and specific projects.
2. Overview of Safety Training for Operating Construction Machinery

d. Safety Card
After completing the occupational safety training course and passing the assessment, workers will be issued a safety card (commonly referred to as a Group 3 Safety Certificate).
The Group 3 safety card contains details such as: full name, date of birth, specific job and working environment, training duration, official stamp, and signature confirming course completion.
According to Article 24, Clause 2 of Decree 44/2016/NĐ-CP, there are two cases:
- If the employer and employee have a labor contract, the employer must sign, stamp, and seal the safety card for Group 3 workers after completing training and passing the assessment.
- If the worker is a freelancer or temporary worker without a labor contract, the training provider must sign, stamp, and seal the safety card after the worker completes training and passes the assessment.

3. Hazards When Operating Construction Machinery
Operating machinery in the construction industry can pose many hazards, and following safety rules is crucial to prevent accidents and injuries. Below are some common hazards when operating construction machinery:
- Occupational accidents: This is the main hazard, including accidents such as falls, crush injuries, or other injuries during machine operation. These can occur due to operator negligence or unsafe working conditions.
- Electrical hazards: Many construction machines run on electricity or fuel, posing risks of short circuits or fire. Operators must follow electrical safety rules and handle fuel carefully.
- Hydraulic systems: Machinery using hydraulic systems may leak hydraulic oil, causing fire or environmental hazards. Regular inspection and maintenance of hydraulic systems are necessary.
- Personal safety rules: Operators must follow personal safety rules, including wearing helmets, safety goggles, reflective vests, and safety boots.
- Operator competence: Operators must be properly trained and experienced to ensure their safety and the safety of others around them.
- Work environment: Environmental factors such as weather conditions, slopes, humidity, and other workplace conditions can also create risks for operators and machinery.
- Collision risks: Machinery may collide with objects or other workers during operation. Operators must maintain control and be aware of their surroundings.
- Technical malfunctions: Machinery may experience technical issues, such as fire, explosions, or sudden breakdowns, creating hazards for operators and nearby personnel.
To minimize risks and ensure safety in construction, regular machine maintenance, operator safety training, and strict adherence to safety regulations for each type of machine and task are essential.
4. Measures to Control Occupational Accidents When Operating Construction Machinery
To control occupational accidents while operating construction machinery, several important measures should be followed:
- Training and retraining: Ensure all machine operators are fully trained in operation and maintenance. Periodic retraining is important to update knowledge and skills.
- Regular inspections: Conduct periodic inspections to ensure machinery operates correctly and safely, including hydraulic, electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical components.
- Regular maintenance: Perform scheduled maintenance to keep machines in optimal condition. Any malfunction must be repaired immediately.
- Compliance with safety rules: Always follow safety rules during machine operation, including wearing helmets, goggles, reflective vests, and safety boots.
- Work environment monitoring: Ensure the work environment is safe for machine operation, checking weather, slope, humidity, and lighting conditions.
- On-site supervision: Operators must maintain awareness of their surroundings and other personnel, monitoring objects, co-workers, and environmental conditions.
- Use warning systems: Utilize alarms or signal lights to alert about machinery presence and potential hazards in the area.
- Legal compliance: Ensure all machinery operation complies with labor safety and environmental regulations.
- Promote a safety culture: Build a safety culture within the construction company by encouraging all employees to maintain workplace safety.
- Incident reporting: Operators must immediately report any accidents, incidents, or safety issues to allow timely corrective actions and prevent recurrence.
- Periodic inspection of construction machinery to detect safety issues such as damage, wear, or mechanical failure, thereby reducing the risk of occupational accidents.
