 What I Need to Know

Did you know that hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health
effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work ? Risk refers to the chance
or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect if exposed to
a hazard.
Every day we are exposed to hazards and risks. Some hazards maybe obvious like
covid19.
This module is an exploratory and introductory course on Dressmaking/Tailoring which
leads you to Dressmaking/Tailoring National Certificate Level II (NC II)1. It covers one
competency in dressmaking that a Grade 7 Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE)
student like you ought to have.
After going through this module, you are expected to:

 identify the types of hazards in a workplace;

(TLE_HEDM7/8BMOJ-8)

 differentiate hazard from risk.

(TLE_HEDM7/8BMOj-8)

What’s New

Now, let’s have a story about some wonderful ideas for safe storage along with
guidelines on how to use common tools and items found in your sewing and craft room.

Let’s Read This!

When my mother first started teaching me to sew, she told me about one of her earliest
sewing mishaps. She was about five years old, and was playing with her mother's treadle
machine (even though she knew she wasn't allowed to). Sure enough, she turned the flywheel
while her finger was under the needle. But she knew if she cried out, she would be punished
for playing with the machine, so she had to back the needle out and bandage the wound
herself. Her mother never found out about the accident, and my mother never had another
machine mishap again.

Mom's story made a big impression on me. Since then, I have always been a cautious
sewer. So far (knock wood!), I have avoided any serious sewing injury; however, thousands of
other sewing enthusiasts every year are not as fortunate.

Sewing involves lots of opportunities for injury. Some of these are obvious, but some
are less so. Sewers can injure their bodies in almost imperceptible ways.

The most obvious injuries are those caused by sharp implements such as needles and
cutting tools. In addition to puncture wounds, sewers are at risk for slicing wounds (from
scissors and rotary cutters) and burns (from irons). Taking basic precautions will reduce the
risk of injury in the sewing.

What is It

Types of Hazard

1. A chemical hazard is any substance that can cause harm primarily to people.

2. An electrical hazard can be defined as a dangerous condition where a worker could

make electrical contact with energized equipment or a conductor, and from which the
person may sustain an injury from shock; and/or, there is potential for the worker to
receive an arc flash burn, thermal burn, or blast injury.
 3. Ergonomic hazards include :
 improper adjusted workstations and chairs;
 frequent lifting;
 poor posture;
 awkward movements;
 using too much force;
 vibration.

4. Psychological hazard relates to mental health and behavioral disorders.

5. Radiation Hazard (RADHAZ) describes the hazards of electromagnetic radiation to

fuels, electronic hardware, ordinance, and personnel. In the military these hazards are
segregated as follows:
a) Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Personnel (HERP)
b) Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance (HERO)
c) Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuel (HERF)
 6. A biological hazard or biohazard is anything coming from living organisms

6. Physical hazards are those substances which threaten your physical safety.
