Introductory Message

Welcome to TVL – IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC I)!

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– IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC I) 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 – IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding NC I) 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.

Prepared Weld Materials

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO5. Prepare protective welding equipment (TLE_IAAW9-12MW-Ig-5)
5.1 Prepare PPE in accordance with occupational health and safety standards
5.2 Check protective welding equipment in accordance with safety procedures

II. Background Information for Learners

PROTECTIVE WELDING EQUIPMENT

The general work clothing is worn by each person working in the shop. All these
clothing’s may not have frayed edges or holes. In addition to the clothing, extra
protection is needed for each person who is in direct contact with the materials. Tongs
and pliers are used in picking-up hot metals.

Additional extra protection aside from general clothing are: leather jacket, apron,
welding gloves, welding shield, face shield, safety gloves, welding cap, safety boots,

1
respirators, and full leather sleeves. Full clothing protection will practically protect the
whole body of the welder.

For your safety, it is proper to know the uses of your protective gadgets while
working with metals.
• Safety is a reminder to anticipate the precaution possible risk and danger in
every welding job.
• Safety glass protects the eyes from weld sparks and always worn by worker in
the shop.
• Welding shield covers the face and allow welder to see legibly on weldment
while performing welding.
• Face shield is a transparent hard plastic covering the eye while clearing and
grinding.
• Welding cap worn by welder as an additional safety for head and hair.
• Respirator is an equipment that prevent us from fumes and odor from industrial
waste.
• Leather apron a front body protection device while welding.
• Leather jacket worn by welder during welding difficult position.
• General clothing the usual personal clothing of a welder such as over-all,
welding apron or welding jackets
• Safety Gloves worn by welders to protect the hands in heat and burns.
• Welding Goggles protective glasses set in a flexible frame that fit snugly
against the face.
• Welding shoes is made of chrome leather and protects our feet from
spattering.
