Thực trạng môi trường lao động tại Công ty Cổ phần X20 năm 2024

The textile industry plays a crucial role in Vietnam's economy, employing millions of workers, predominantly women, in jobs requiring meticulousness, endurance, and repetitive tasks. Within this context, X20 Joint Stock Company stands as a significant industrial textile enterprise. However, workers in this sector often face various occupational hazards, including unfavorable microclimates, excessive noise, prolonged working hours, and uncomfortable postures. These conditions can lead to adverse health effects such as anxiety disorders, psychological stress, exhaustion, reduced concentration, and decreased productivity. Despite the increasing pressures on production and economic instability, exacerbated post-COVID-19, comprehensive assessments of the working environment and employee well-being, particularly regarding psychological stress, remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe the current status of the working environment at X20 Joint Stock Company in 2024, providing a basis for developing solutions to improve working conditions and enhance employee health and productivity.

This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to evaluate the current status of the working environment at X20 Joint Stock Company in 2024, employing a comprehensive approach that involved monitoring various environmental factors across four of its operational units. The methodology included assessing physical factors such as temperature, humidity, airflow, and radiation, chemical factors like CO2, CO, NO2, SO2, and dust (non-silica and cotton dust), alongside the psychological well-being of the workers. The research utilized specialized measuring equipment for environmental parameters and specific assessment tools for psychological stress, comparing results against national standards. Key findings indicate that most physical and chemical parameters within the working environment generally met allowable standards. Specifically, 85% of light samples, 84.7% of noise samples, and 70% of cotton dust samples complied with the set limits. However, a significant concern emerged regarding the psychological stress levels among workers, with 60-88.3% experiencing moderate stress, and no cases of excessive stress. Despite the overall compliance of physical and chemical factors, the persistently high rate of moderate psychological stress among employees highlights an urgent need for intervention. The study concludes that while the physical working environment generally meets standards, the elevated levels of psychological stress necessitate further research to identify and implement appropriate assessment methods and targeted interventions for this group of textile workers. These findings underscore the importance of addressing both physical and psychological aspects to ensure optimal health and productivity in the textile industry.
