                        COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS
Introduction
         As a student in Electrical Installation and Maintenance, you should acquire the
important knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and be familiar with the actual
application of every splice and joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual wiring
installation. Of course, another factor is the knowledge in interpreting and analyzing the
wiring diagram especially if the circuit is complicated.
       The following are common electrical wire splices and joints.
  Rat Tail or Pig Tail. This kind of joint is   Y-splice. This method of wrapping is
  commonly used to join two or more             generally used on small cables because

  connected in an outlet box, switch, or
  conduit fitting.

  taps placed side by side with each other.
                                   EXTENSION CORD
       An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical power cable with a plug on one end
and multiple sockets on the other end. It comes in several varieties to suit the needs of the
user. One of the most important considerations is the power handling capacity to make it
safe and functional.
        Electrical gadgets are products of modern technology to make our life better. The
number of electrical gadgets available at home and in offices may exceed the existing
convenience outlets installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of
available outlets is to use an extension cord especially if the electrical gadgets need to
operate at the same time.
REMINDER
      Be careful in buying an extension cord. You have to look for the Department of Trade
and Industry (DTI) markings. The Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance
(ICC) markings on it signify that the product passed the DTI standards for safety and quality.

   2. Inventory are raw materials, work-in-process goods, and completely finished goods
      that are considered to be the portion of a business's assets that are ready or will be
      ready for sale. Inventory represents one of the most important assets that most
      businesses possess, because the turnover of inventory represents one of the primary
      sources of revenue generation and subsequent earnings for the company's
      shareholders/owners.

 Read the Information Sheet 3.1 very well then find out how much you can
 remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 3.1.
 Information Sheet 3.1
               RECEIVING AND INSPECTING FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
        One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the
company’s supplies, materials, and anything that the company needs. But this duty does not
end in just purchasing but also in receiving the deliveries of what was purchased.
       In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right
materials and supplies were delivered and all are in good condition without defects.
A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following questions:
   1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and address. If your
      agency has more than one location, make sure the goods are for this exact address.
      Check the freight to see if it is the same as what is described on the delivery receipt.
      Look at the label on each item to make sure the shipment belongs to you.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE                                                              43
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
   2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage. Check for
      holes, water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can. Check for rattling. Listen
      for something broken inside. Check to see if any package has been opened or if the
      sealing tape has been tampered with.
   3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number on the
      delivery receipt to the number you have counted. If the shipment is on a pallet,
      check to make sure the pallet is solid with no voids inside the stack. If the shipment
      is shrink or stretch wrapped, make sure the wrap hasn't been cut and pieces
      removed. Sign only for the type of unit you receive. For example: two pallets. Don't
      sign for the number of packages that are supposed to be on the pallet. However, if
      time permits or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped, count the packages, and
      only then sign for the number of packages.
B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following:
   1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the terms specified
      by your agency, or is damaged to the point where it no longer has a value.
   2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note exceptions on
      the delivery receipt.
C. How to note exceptions:
   1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately. Pinpoint the
      locations of all defects. If you can see the damage, have the driver wait while you
      open and inspect the packages. Write down the number and identity of the damaged
      pieces. This is called a "joint inventory."
   2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number of pieces
      actually delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then write down the number of
      pieces missing and note them as "short."
   3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt. Have
      the driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full name (not initials or
      nicknames). After the driver signs, you sign also. Write your agency's name, your
      full name, the date, and the time of day.
D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection:
   1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to inspect the damaged
      goods and packaging. The formal request should be made by phone right after
      discovering any loss or damage.
   2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier in writing. Note

 Information Sheet 1.1
                         MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS
        Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical
quantity, such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such as meter,
second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology.
      The English word measurement originates from the Latin mēnsūra and the
verbmetiri through the Middle French mesure.
        Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so extra care is
necessary in handling them. These are used to measure currents, voltages, resistances,
wattages, and other important elements in electrical works. This topic will tackle the
function/use of each measuring tool and instrument used in doing an electrical task. Different
kinds of measuring tools and precision measuring instruments are as follows:

       A system of measurement is a set of units which can be used to specify
anything can be measured.
        These are common units of measurement used in making layout and
installation of electrical materials:
A.           Linear measures
1. English system provides the creative way on how people can measure by
   themselves. For example, people measure shorter distance on the ground with
   their feet. They measure long distances by their palms which is equal to a yard.
        Inch
        Yard
        Miles
2. Metric system is a decimalized system of measurement. It exists in several
   variations with different choices of base units. Metric units are widely used
   around the world for personal, commercial, and scientific purposes.
                Millimeter
                Centimeter
                Decimeter
                Meter
    B.       English units and equivalents
            12 inches      =   1 foot (ft)
            1 foot         =   3 yards (yd)
            1 yard         =   36 inches

   A. Proper care and maintenance of the multitester
   1. Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multitester.
   2. In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the highest range to avoid
      reading voltage higher than the tester setting.
   3. Be sure that the tester is set to the correct range setting: resistance range
      when measuring the ohm, voltage range when measuring voltage and
      ammeter range when measuring the value of electric current.
   4. Always check the condition of its battery. Worn out batteries will damage the
      internal setting of the tester.
   5. When the tester is not in used or will be stored, set the selector switch to
      1000V or to OFF position.
   6. Never drop the tester.

                              COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
        Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent various
electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols are used in
sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types of electrical works.
Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol that coincides with a
particular fixture in an electrical wiring diagram. These are useful guides for an electrician or
electrical contractor, and make the wiring easier to install as well.
       The following are common electrical symbols used in sketching wiring plans and
diagrams.

 Information Sheet 2.1
                            ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
       The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented in a diagram. There are
       two types of diagrams: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.
A.     Pictorial diagram is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows the external appearance
           of each component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and uses simple
           images of parts.
                  Sample pictorial diagram of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using
                                            9 volt battery source.
B.     Schematic diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using
           standard electrical symbols. It shows the actual number of components and
           how the wiring is routed but not the actual location.

                      Diagram A                                   Diagram B
       Sample schematic diagrams of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using direct
       current (Diagram A) and alternating current (Diagram B) source.
  C.   Types of Circuit
       1. Series Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are arranged in a chain, so that the
          current has only one path to take. The current is the same through each load. An
          example of this is Christmas light/bulbs. It consists of a number of bulbs that are
          connected side by side to meet the voltage requirement which is 220 volts for
          alternating current.
                     Pictorial diagram of Christmas lights in series circuit
                           Schematic diagram of three bulbs connected in series
                                   controlled by a single pole switch.

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
       2. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are connected across the wires. The
          voltage across each load on a parallel circuit is the same. The advantage of using
          parallel circuit is that even if one of the lamps fails, the remaining lamps will still
          function.
                 Pictorial diagram of two bulbs connected in parallel circuit controlled
                                        by a single pole switch.
                      Schematic diagram of three bulbs connected in parallel circuit
                                   controlled by a single pole switch.
                                          ELECTRICAL PLAN
           Electrical plan is a graphical presentation of electrical wiring connections to
  install in a particular house or building. It indicates the position of electrical fixtures such
  as convenience outlets, switches, lightings, door bells, and others to be installed.
                                   Sample electrical plan of

                    Classification of Tools and Equipment
       A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but is
not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand, thus
increasing speed, power, and accuracy. Equipment is any machine powered by electricity.
           1. Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical energy
              such as puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.
           2. Machine/Power tools are tools manipulated by our hands and with the use
              of electrical energy such as electric drill, grinding wheels, vacuum cleaner,
              and others.

1. Screwdrivers are used to drive or turn screws. The common type has a single flat
       blade for driving screws with slotted heads. The other type has the cross slotted
       head.
2. Hammers are mostly used tools in the shop. They should be gripped at the end of the
      handle.
3. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a pivot so that
        items of various sizes can be gripped.
4. Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts, and bolts with hexagonal or six-sided heads.
      A variety of wrenches are used in the shop.
5. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from blind holes, and
       cylinder liners from engine blocks.
B.     Machine/Power Tools
1. Electric drill has an electric motor that drives a chuck. The chuck has jaws that can be
   opened and then closed to grip a drill kit.
2. Grinding tool can be either bench-mounted or installed on a pedestal. They may either
   have a grinding wheel, view wheel, or two grinding wheels.

C.     Pneumatic tools
1. Pneumatic Torque Wrench. This wrench uses compressed air to quickly and powerfully
   turn nuts, bolts, and other objects.
2. Air chisel uses reciprocating motion to drive a cutting hammering tool. An air hammer
   drives a chisel to cut off a nut that has frozen to a stud. It can be used with a variety of
   tools like cutters and punches to do many jobs.
3. Air drill is lighter than a comparable electric drill. Repeatedly stalling or overloading
   does not damage or overheat the air drill.

       To ensure that your electric tools work when you need them, you must take proper
care of them. A good routine of maintenance for your tools is one thing that you can do to
make sure that the tool you need is working when you need it.
1. Keep the tool clean. To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you
      are, keep them clean and free of dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every
      once in a while on your tools while they are inactive in storage.
2. Check the cords. Look for tear/cut insulator on the power cords on your electric tools.
      This will ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function
      without an accident.
3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow
       the safety directions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
       When working on a circuit, use approved tools with insulated handles.

4. Protect your tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. These
   hazards can damage insulation. If a tool or cord heats up, stop using it. Report the
   condition to a supervisor or instructor immediately.
5. Use double-insulated tools. Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of
   insulation barriers between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker.
6. Store your tools properly. Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and
   containers. This will keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used.
Note: Proper care of your electric tools is the key to making sure that they last for many
                                          years.

   B. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
         Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are gadgets used to protect workers from
injury or illness caused by having contact with the dangers/hazards in the workplace,
whether they are chemical, biological, radiation, physical, electrical, or mechanical.
These are the common Personal Protective Equipment gadgets:
                       Hard Hats/ Helmets             Gloves
            Goggles                    Mask                 Work boots            Pants
           Pictures of electricians working using Personal Protective Equipment

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
    REMEMBER
       1.    Personal Protective Equipment should be cared for like the other tools and
             equipment. Wipe your helmets, gloves, safety shoes before keeping them.
       2.    These should also be cleaned and stored properly.
       3.    These should be stored in dry places so that they will not have mold build-up.
       4.    Over-all suits should be washed regularly so that perspiration and dirt will be
             washed clean.
        C. Classification of Tools
        Tools are very useful to us. But tools that are no longer functional may cause harm.
        A. Make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools in your shop.
        B. Classify your tools according to their functions.
                                                                     
       Method of identifying non-functional tools and equipment
        1. Visual inspection. This refers to the visual observation of an expert on the
         appearance of the tools and equipment.
        2. Functionality. Vibration or extra noise from the operation means problems with parts
         and accessories are starting to develop.
        3. Performance. When there is something wrong with the performance of either hand
         tools or equipment they need immediate repair or maintenance.
        4. Power supply (for electrically operated only). Failure to meet the required power
         supply will result in a malfunction.
        5. Persons involved. It refers to the technical person who has the knowledge and skills
         about the technology.
                                                                              
         Classifications of tools and equipment according to their uses:
          1.   Measuring tools
          2.   Holding tools
          3.   Cutting tools
          4.   Driving tools
          5.   Boring tools
          6.   Electrical equipment
          7.   Miscellaneous tools/instrument/equipment
            Non-functional tools and equipment are those that are not able to perform their
    regular function because of impaired and damage parts. Examples of these are the
    following:

Types and Kinds of Cleaning Solvents
      Solvent is a component of a solution that dissolves solute and is usually present in
large proportions or amounts. It can be classified as polar and nonpolar. Polar solvents are
solvents which dissolve/are soluble in water; while nonpolar solvents are solvents which do
not dissolve/are insoluble in water.
      Solvents are usually used for cleaning in workshops. They are water, gasoline,
kerosene, thinner, and detergent soap.
          The table below shows the kinds of cleaning solvents based on their solubility in
water.

 Information Sheet 3.1
Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment
       A significant point to consider at the start of your career is to acquire good quality
tools. They must be made of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special
consideration is given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and
prevent loses. Since the technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of
tools/equipment is very significant.
       The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying
warranty which guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long
run, to start with a few carefully selected tools that will take care of your most common needs
and then slowly build-up to a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and memorize the
huge number of tools and equipment in the workshop, thus maintaining the inventory record
is of great value.

equipment. The investment in tools and equipment is a significant part of the overhead
expenses in any operation. Proper selection and maintenance of equipment are important
factors in managing a business. Selecting the proper tool for the job and using the tool
properly will increase efficiency and reduce maintenance problems. Purchase tools which
are well-made and suited to the intended use. Commercial usage may entail more heavy
duty demands on equipment.
Hand tools:
1. Clean dirt and debris from tools after each use.
2. Oil metal parts to prevent rust.
3. Lightly sand rough wooden handles and apply linseed oil.
4. Repair loose handles.
5. Sharpen blades of cutting tools.
6. Store tools in a clean dry storage area.
7. Protect surfaces of cutting tools in storage.

    Sample Proper Arrangement and Storage of Tools and Equipment
             You can see in the pictures that all tools and equipment are arranged and
     stored properly in their own racks. For example, the screw drivers are arranged by
              type and sizes. Hammers, saws, and c-clamps are in their racks.

 Information Sheet 1.1
                                      HAZARDS AND RISKS
What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?
    A hazard is something that can cause harm, e.g., electricity, chemicals, working on a
ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, or stress.
    Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an
adverse health effect once to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or
equipment loss.
A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.
       For example, working alone away from your office can be a hazard. The risk of
personal danger may be high. Electrical repair is a hazard. If someone accidentally turned
on the power, the worker’s life will be in a 'high-risk' category.

                   ERGONOMIC HAZARDS
                   If your work area is poorly designed, you can develop long-term health
                   problems. These problems can arise from simple things, like working for long
                   periods in an awkward position or having to make the same motions over and
    over again.
    Problems can come from:
         poor lighting
         chairs
         lifting
         repeated movements
          computer screens
                      PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS
                      These hazards cause stress to a worker. This kind of hazard troubles an
                      individual very much to an extent that his general well-being is affected.
    Stress can lead to long-term health problems. Headaches, anxiety, and impatience are early
    signs of stress.
    Causes of stress in the workplace include:
               •     heavy workloads
               •     lack of control over the pace of work
               •     shift work
               •     noise
               •     working by yourself
               •     fear of job loss
               •     conflict with the employer

                                  THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE
       One of the most critical hazards that one may encounter are chemical hazards.
Chemicals may produce reactions that may endanger one’s health and life. This is the
reason why the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) established
a threshold limit value (TLV).
TLV is the term used by the ACGIH to express the airborne concentration of a material to
which nearly all persons can be exposed day after day, without adverse health effects.

     Information Sheet 2.1
                                     What is risk assessment?
            Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with
    protecting the safety, health, and welfare of people engaged in work or employment.
            The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work
    environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members,
    employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who
    are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject
    areas, including occupational medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public health,
    safety engineering / industrial engineering, chemistry, health, and physics.
           Risks include acute and chronic health effects, for example, irritation or cancer, and
    physical effects such as fires or explosions. The hazards are physical and health hazards.
                               II. Risk assessment
       A. Risk assessment is the process where you:
          1. identify hazards
          2. analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard
          3. determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard
       B. Factors that influence the degree of risk include:
          how much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition
           how the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), and how severe
              are the effects under the conditions of exposure
    ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE                                                             140
    K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
 ACGIH has established TLVs for approximately 850 chemicals.
 TLVs may appear as:
 TLV-TWA or time-weighted average, which is an average eight-hour exposure limit;
 TLV-STEL or short-term exposure limit, which is a fifteen-minute exposure limit, or
 TLV-C or ceiling, which is a limit which should never be exceeded without protection.
II. Fire and Explosion Hazard Assessment
Fire is a hazard that needs careful evaluation before extinguishing it. Not all fires can be
extinguished by water. That is why it is necessary that we identify the cause of fire before
dealing with it.
1. Flash Point and Method Used: Lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off enough
flammable vapors to ignite. Since flash points vary according to how they are obtained, the
method used must be listed. Chemicals with lower flash points present a greater flammability
hazard.
2. Flammable Limits: Range of concentrations over which a flammable vapor mixed with air
will flash or explode if an ignition source is present. Range extends between lower explosive
limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) and is expressed in percentage of volume of
vapor or gas in air (0 – 100%).
    Chemicals with a broad flammable range (i.e., range between the LEL and the UEL)
and/or a flammable range in the lower percentages present a greater flammability hazard.
3. Extinguishing Media: Fire-fighting material for use on substance that is burning. Fire-
fighting material should be indicated by its generic name (e.g. water, foam, dry chemical,
etc.).
III. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing, and
monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human
activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the
environment, or aesthetics.
        Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses on
delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. The management of waste treats all
materials as a single class, whether solid, liquid, gaseous, or radioactive substances, and
tried to reduce the harmful environmental impacts of each through different methods.
        Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban
and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous
waste residential and institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of
local government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial and
industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.

            What Do You Need To Know?
 Read the Information Sheet 3.1 very well then find out how much you can
 remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 3.1.
 Information Sheet 3.1
                                    HAZARD CONTROL
All workplace hazards (chemical, physical, etc.) can be controlled by a variety of methods.
The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to
occupational hazards. Some methods of hazard control are more efficient than others, but
a combination of methods usually provides a safer workplace than relying on only one
method. Some methods of control are cheaper than others but may not provide the most
effective way to reduce exposures.
       To control hazards in your workplace you need to identify and understand those
hazards. Your first priority should always be to eliminate the hazards. If the hazards can't be
eliminated, try finding safer ways to carry out those tasks by substituting less harmful
substances or changing the work environment through engineering controls. Also consider
changing how work activities are organized and performed. For example, reduce the time
workers are exposed to a hazard by rotating them to another task.
A. Controlling workplace hazards
Once a hazard has been identified and the risk assessed, control measures should be put
into place. A simple list of control measures can be utilized - the hierarchy of control.
                                1. Identify the Hazard
                                 Identify the source of the problem
                               2. Assess the Risk
                                  Risk assessment is the process where you:
                                     o    identify hazards
                                     o    analyze or evaluate the risk
                                           associated with that hazard
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE                                                        150
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
                                     o   determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control
                                         the hazard
                                 3. Eliminate the Hazard or Risk
                         Elimination of a specific hazard or hazardous work process,
                         or preventing it from entering the workplace is the most
                         effective method of control. Eliminating a hazard means
                         removing it completely.
                                    4. Engineering Control may mean changing a piece
                              of machinery (for example, using proper machine guards) or a
                              work process to reduce exposure to a hazard.
                             5. Administrative Controls
                             Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area is an
                            example of an administrative control. One example is job
                            rotation.
                            6. Substitution is one measure of replacing one hazardous
                            agent or work process with a less dangerous one. It is
                                    important to consider worker health and safety when
                                    work processes are still in the planning stages.
                            Provide Personal Protective Equipment
                            Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes ear and eye
                            protection, respirators, and protective clothing.
    Remember: it is always better to control the hazard as close to the source as possible.
    Using personal protection is the least acceptable and least effective of all control
    measures.

Personal hygiene
Finally, personal hygiene (cleanliness) is also very important as a method of controlling
hazards. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower
every day at the end of your shift, no matter what your job is. Wash your skin and hair with
a mild soap, rinse and dry your skin completely to protect it. Washing hands regularly, and
                                                                        eating and smoking

other workplace contaminants home with you on your clothes, hair or skin. Before you
leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing
workplace contaminants home.
  Leave your dirty clothes at work or, if you must wash them at home, wash
  them separately — not with the family wash.

It may seem that the amount of contaminant you can bring home on your clothes or skin is
very small and cannot hurt your family. In reality a small exposure every day for months can
add up to a big exposure. A classic example of this ―spreading the hazard‖ involves
asbestos, where wives of asbestos workers have developed asbestosis from exposure to
the asbestos on their husbands' work clothes. Similarly, children have developed lead
poisoning from exposure to lead which comes home on their parents' work clothes.
        If you wear protective clothing at work, such as aprons, laboratory coats, overalls,
etc., these should be cleaned regularly and you should inspect them for holes or areas
that are worn out. Workers who launder these clothes should be trained in the types of
hazards they may work with and how they can be controlled. Inspect your underclothes at
home for any signs of contamination with oils, solvents, etc. If you find any signs, then it
means your protective clothing at work is not effective.
Every workplace should have some kind of first aid facility
Every workplace should have at least minimal first aid facilities as well as adequate
personnel trained to provide first aid. First aid facilities and trained personnel are important
components of a healthy and safe workplace.

A basic first aid
facility
    1. General cleanliness in the workplace is an important method of
        controlling hazards.
    2. Good housekeeping reduces the risk of fire and is cost-effective.
    3. Good housekeeping measures should be planned when work processes
        are in the design stage.
    4. Safety signs are not a method of hazard control.
    5. Personal cleanliness is an important method of controlling hazards.
    6. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take
        a shower every day.
    7. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when
        necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home to your family.
    8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If you must wash them at home, wash them
        separately — never wash your work clothes with your family's wash.
    9. Your protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Inspect your protective
        clothing for holes and worn areas that could leave you open to exposures.
    10. Inspect your undergarments for signs of contamination.
    11. Your workplace should have at least minimal first aid facilities.
                         EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
         Process of ensuring that an organization has complied with the preventive measures,
is in a state of readiness to contain the effects of a forecasted disastrous event to minimize
loss of life, injury, and damage to property, can provide rescue, relief, rehabilitation, and

other services in the aftermath of the disaster, and has the capability and resources to
continue to sustain its essential functions without being overwhelmed by the demand placed
on them.
Preparedness for the first and immediate response is called emergency preparedness.
Always remember that disaster comes in the most unexpected time and place. Being ready
is always a necessity in all circumstances. The government is giving needed trainings in all
our localities. One should participate in this disaster training so that we will not be caught
unaware when calamities stricken.
