Introductory Message

Welcome to TVL 11 – IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Kabankalan 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 Learning Activity Sheet is a self-directed instructional material 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 TVL 11 – IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance) Activity Sheet

will help you facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most
Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter
between you and the learner. This will be made available to the learners with the
references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TVL 11 – IA (Electrical Installation and Maintenance) 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 understand the instructions then
perform the activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your
facilitator on the agreed schedule.

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.

Five Basic Workplace Hazards

There are five major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety at risk.
1. Chemical hazards
2. Physical hazards
3. Biological hazards

1
 4. Ergonomic hazards or job-related hazards
5. Psychological hazards or stress
CHEMICAL HAZARDS

If you are working with cleaning products, bleaches, paints, and other chemical agents, you
need to understand what a chemical hazard is as well as how to protect yourself. Chemical
hazards include:
 liquids such as cleansers, acids, and paints
 vapours and fumes such as welding fumes
 gases such as carbon monoxide
 products that can catch fire or explode

PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Physical hazards include:

 Machinery
 Electrical power
 Noise
 Power and hand tools
 Working and walking surfaces
 Trip and fall hazards
 Ladders and scaffolds
 Heat and cold
 Ventilation

BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

Be careful around ticks, mouse droppings, bird poop, and

wild animals. You might get sick from working around certain
animals, including people. Biological hazards include
bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and humans.
The risks run from skin irritation and allergies to infections.

Dangers can come from:

 unclean restrooms
 mold and fungus
 bacteria Source: Biological hazard,

 insect stings logical_hazard

  animal bites
 poorly stored medical waste
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.

Hazard, https://www.emedco.com/iso-warning-
symbol-labels-lifting-hazard-sym45.html

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:

• shift work hazards-in-the-workplace/.
• noise
• working by yourself
• fear of job loss
• conflict with the employer
