Introductory Message
Welcome to TLE 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production)!

The TLE 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production) Learning Activity Sheet is a

product of the collaborative efforts of the Schools Division of Himamaylan
City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through the
Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed
to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults)
in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The TLE 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production) Learning Activity Sheet is

self-directed instructional materials aimed to guide the learners in
accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the contextualized
resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring
the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production) Activity Sheet will help you
facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential
Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter
between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners with
the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 7/8 – AFA (Crop Production) Activity Sheet is developed to

help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning
material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for
independent learning. Being an active learner carefully read and
understands the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Determining Areas of Concern for Safety Measures

I. Learning Competency with Code

After going through this learning activity sheet, you should be able to:
(TLE -AFAC9-12OS-0h-i-7E_AFAC9-12OS-0h-i-7))
1. Identify work tasks in line with farm operations
2. Determine place for safety measures in line with farm operations
3. Determine time for safety measures in line with farm operations
4. Prepare appropriate tools, materials, and outfits in line with job
requirements

II. Background Information for Learners

Farming is considered as one of the most hazardous and dangerous

occupations in our country. Farmers are exposed to difficult situations and at
very high risk of non-fatal and fatal injuries.
Accident is unpredictable that occurred when least expected to happen.
Among potentially life-threatening farm hazards are farm machinery and
equipment, agricultural chemicals, toxic gases and sharp cutting edges of farm
tools.
As a young agriculturist, always keep in mind that safety is foremost in
doing any job. Safety can be implemented by determining the task to perform
especially those farm tasks that involve health and physical hazard.
Remember, life is precious and body parts are irreplaceable, you are in control
if you want to be intact after accomplishing the hard and tiring tasks in the
farm. Your safety is important, and the key to safety is in your hands, as it
says, “Safety is the engine, and you are the key that starts it”.
