Quarter 1 – Module 4:
Identifying Types Of Personal
Protective Equipment
For Formwork Components
Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TVL 11 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Identifying Types of

Personal Protective Equipment for Formwork Components!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the Learner:

Welcome to the TVL 11 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Identifying Types of

Personal Protective Equipment for Formwork Components!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module.

What I Know This part includes an activity that aims to

check what you already know about the

 What I Need to Know

Accidents are more likely to happen in the construction industry when there
is absence or inappropriate use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). PPE is an
equipment that protects workers against health or safety risks on the job and reduces
employee exposure to hazards.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify types of personal protective equipment;
2. evaluate possible hazards or risks that may happen in the absence of personal
protective equipment.

Notes to the Teacher

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use
this module. The importance of learning this lesson by heart makes him/her
safe as he/she performs a project or job. Remind the learner that it is
imperative to learn about PPE.

 What’s New

Are you still okay? Try this activity to understand more and be able to identify
the listed tools and other materials in staging formwork components.

ACTIVITY 2: READ TO LEAD!

Direction: Read the story and answer the question listed below. Do this in your
activity notebook.

Dave Fenton knew it was time to leave his job as

a cook when he walked past a construction site in
western Canada and found himself looking up enviously
at the crane operator. “The guy must have a great view
of the mountains,” he thought to himself.

Fenton soon made the career switch to construction,

but an accident nearly transformed his dream job into
a nightmare. While working as a crane rigger, Fenton
was struck in the head by an 80-pound aluminum
joist which fell from the equivalent of nine floors up.
Though the joist broke his neck and shoulder and
punctured his lung, Fenton was wearing a hard hat
that deflected the weight of the joist from the center
of his head. Just 110 days after the accident, he
was back at work. “The hard hat saved my life,
there’s no question in my mind,” he says.

1. What was Fenton’s job before he made the career switch to construction?
2. What made him leave his previous job?
3. In what particular job Fenton was assigned to?
4. What injury did Fenton encounter while at work?
5. Which PPE was mentioned and saved his life?

Before an emergency or a
disaster, personal protective
equipment is there to help.

5
 What is It

“SAFETY FIRST!” This is a reminder to all workers in a workplace to caution

them before they start any activity. Thereat, wearing the prescribed PPE is a must.
No PPE, no work policy must be adopted.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a clothing and equipment worn by

employees, students, contractors or visitors to protect or shield their bodies from
workplace hazards.

Types of Personal Protective Equipment

Gloves are hand covering used for protection from

rough, dirty, and sharp objects.

Hazard: Abrasion, temperature extremes, cuts and

punctures, impact, chemicals, electric shock,
radiation, biological agents and prolonged immersion
in water

Safety shoes refer to feet protection used for

personal safety; usually a steel shoe type.
Hazard: Wet, hot and cold conditions, electrostatic
build-up, slipping, cuts and punctures, falling
objects, heavy loads, metal and chemical splash,
vehicles

6
Safety hat or helmet refers to headcover for safety
protection and usually made of hard plastic.

Hazard: Impact from falling or flying objects, risk of

head bumping, hair getting tangled in machinery,
chemical drips or splash, climate or temperature

Dust-Mask is a respiratory protection which covers the

mouth and nose of the wearer, worn when in a dusty
atmosphere, or when doing work which creates dust.
Hazard: Oxygen-deficient atmospheres, dusts, gases
and vapours

Overall refers to cotton clothing worn during the actual

work or in performing tasks.
Hazard: Heat, chemical or metal splash, spray from
pressure leaks or spray guns, contaminated dust,
impact or penetration, excessive wear or entanglement
of own clothing

7
 Safety Glasses are spectacles or goggles used as eye
protection against dust, gas, chemical or metal splash.
Hazard: Chemical or metal splash, dust, projectiles, gas and
vapour, radiation

Earmuff is a hearing protection device that covers the entire

ear and is held in place by a suspension system.
Suspension system - a device that holds the hearing
protection device in proper position on the wearer's head. A
suspension system may be a headband, a neckband or a
safety helmet.

Hazard: Noise – a combination of sound level and duration of

exposure, very high-level sounds are a hazard even with short
duration

Safety belt refers to a wide leather strap with hook

used to protect an individual from an accidental fall.

Hazard: Include vertical falling distance, fragile roofs,

roof lights, voids, sloping roofs, deteriorating
materials, unprotected edges, unstable or poorly
maintained equipment for access and adverse
weather.

Did you enjoy reading? Did you learn the common hand tools,
power tools and equipment necessary in staging formwork components?

8
 What’s More

Watch out! Work safely. You are confined to let you understand the value of wearing
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Activity 3 – TRUE or FALSE

Direction: On the space before the number, write the word TRUE if the statement is
correct and FALSE if it is not. And in the box, write the name of PPE being referred
to.
______ 1. Some respirators rely on filtering contaminants
from workplace air. These include simple filtering
facepieces and respirators and power-assisted
respirators.

______ 2. It should made sure the eye protection chosen

has the right combination of
impact/dust/splash/molten metal eye protection for the
task and fits the user properly.

______ 3. For hearing, protectors that reduce noise to an

acceptable level should be chosen, while allowing for
safety and communication.

______ 4. Wearing gloves for long periods can make the

skin hot and sweaty, leading to skin problems. Using
separate cotton inner gloves can help prevent this.

______ 5. Impact from falling or flying objects, risk of head

bumping, hair getting tangled in machinery, chemical
drips or splash, climate or temperature are risks that may
happen if one fails to protect the head and neck.

Congratulations! You’ve got it. Proceed to the next activity. Good luck!
