Of all the chemical safety obligations, training is the cheapest and the most often skipped. Law on Chemicals No. 69/2025/QH15 places it in two spots.
The training obligation (Article 36)
- Organisations and individuals in chemical activities must periodically provide chemical safety training to workers (clause 1);
- Training follows this Law, the Law on Occupational Safety and Health, the Law on Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue and other relevant legislation (clause 2);
- The trainees, content, duration and the trainer’s competence are set in detail by the Government (clause 3).
Because the duration and the trainees are set by decree, check Decree 25/2026/ND-CP before planning your training — do not reuse figures from older documents.
And in Article 33, as a condition of operating
- A person responsible for chemical safety with appropriate qualifications (clause 2);
- Workers involved must have been trained and issued personal protective equipment suited to their assigned duties (clause 3).
Training is therefore not only an annual task — it is part of what makes the facility eligible to operate at all.
How it relates to drills
A civil-sector chemical facility storing chemicals on the list in clause 2 of Article 37 must also run an annual incident response drill (clause 3 of Article 39). Training and drills are separate obligations; doing one does not discharge the other.
