HASEGAWA VIETNAM’s Proposal for
Building a Safer Working Environment

With the goal of achieving zero fall accidents during work at height in Vietnam, HASEGAWA VIETNAM helps protect workplaces through safety equipment that meets Japanese quality standards.

Section 01

Current Status of Workplace Accidents in
Work-at-Height Operations

According to the Vietnam Ministry of Labour’s Notification No. 1136/TB-BLĐTBXH (2023), falls from height account for 18% of all workplace accidents, making them one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities.
The report also highlights that a significant proportion of employer-related accidents are caused by unsafe or inadequate equipment, emphasizing the importance of investing in proper safety solutions.

Training Alone Has Its Limits. Product Design Is the Fundamental Solution.

Workers often use ladders based on habits developed over many years, making behavioral change difficult to achieve through training alone.
HASEGAWA VIETNAM is committed to accident prevention through product designs that naturally promote safe usage, enabling workers to operate equipment safely and correctly without relying solely on training and awareness programs.

Section 02

Legal Regulations and
Compliance

In Vietnam, various laws and regulations require the installation and use of safety equipment for work at height.
Employers who fail to comply may face substantial financial penalties.

Occupational Safety and Health Law 2015

Work at Height Is Classified as a Hazardous Activity

Work performed at elevated locations is classified as hazardous and dangerous work. Employers are legally required to provide appropriate safety equipment and implement adequate protective measures to ensure worker safety.

Circular No. 13/2016/TT-BLĐTBXH

Work Above 2 Meters Requires Special Safety Management

Work conducted at heights of 2 meters or more above ground level, on mobile scaffolding, or in hazardous working positions is subject to strict safety requirements and special management measures.

Circular No. 16/2021/TT-BXD

Guardrails and Toe Boards Are Mandatory

For scaffolding structures 2 meters or higher, the installation of safety guardrails is mandatory. In addition, toe boards must be installed on working platforms, walkways, and ladder access areas to prevent falls and falling objects.

Decree No. 12/2022/NĐ-CP

Significant Penalties for Non-Compliance

Employers who fail to provide the required safety equipment may be subject to fines ranging from VND 20 million to VND 25 million.

Mandatory Safety Equipment and Protective Gear

Safe ladders and scaffolding, Fall protection equipment (safety harnesses), Safety helmets, Anti-slip safety shoes, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate for the task, Safety guardrails (required for work areas above 2 meters), Toe boards (for platforms and walkways)

20,000,000 〜 25,000,000 VND

Penalty Amount(Decree 12/2022)

This penalty applies to employers who fail to provide the required safety equipment for workers. Non-compliance not only results in financial losses but can also significantly damage a company’s reputation and credibility.
