Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 9 - AFA Animal Production (Large Ruminants)!

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 TLE 9 - AFA Animal Production (Large Ruminants) 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 TLE 9 - AFA Animal Production (Large Ruminants) 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.

Wear Outfits According to Farm Requirements

I. Learning Competency with Code

Applying safety measures in farm operations (TLE_AFAAPR 9-
12ASMFO-Ic-d-2)
Objective: Identify and report hazards in the workplace in line
with farm guidelines.

II. Background Information for Learners

Many hazards are present in the farm. If the farmers are not aware of
these hazards these may cause injury to their body or may cause diseases
and even death.
Workplace hazard is a major cause of accident, injury, or harm to a
worker who performs such task. These hazards should be identified and
reported to the authorities for an appropriate action. It is important to
distinguish hazard, risk and exposure when undertaking risk management.

 Hazard is the potential for harm, or adverse effect on an employees’

health. Anything which may cause injury or ill health to anyone at or
near a workplace is a hazard.
 Risk is the likelihood that a hazard will cause injury or ill health to
anyone at or near a workplace. The level of risk increases with the
severity of the hazard and the duration and frequency of exposure.
 Exposure occurs when a person comes into contact with a hazard.

Classes of Hazard

Hazards are classified into five different types. They are:

 Physical - includes floors, stairs, work platforms, steps, ladders, fire,

falling objects, slippery surfaces, manual handling (lifting, pushing,
pulling), excessively loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat and
cold, radiation, poor lighting, ventilation, air quality.

1
  Mechanical and/or electrical - includes electricity, machinery,
equipment, pressure vessels, dangerous goods, fork lifts, cranes,
hoists.
 Chemical - includes chemical substances such as acids or poisons
and those that could lead to fire or explosion, like pesticides,
herbicides, cleaning agents, dusts and fumes from various processes
such as welding.
 Biological - includes bacteria, viruses, mold, mildew, insects, vermin,
animals.
 Psychosocial environment - includes workplace stressors arising
from a variety of sources.

Common Hazards

Every farm is different, but hazards common to most farms include:

 animals – injuries inflicted by animals can include bites, kicks,

crushing, ramming, trampling, and transmission of certain infectious
diseases such as giardia, salmonella, ringworm and leptospirosis
 chemicals – pesticides and herbicides can cause injuries such as
burns, respiratory illness or poisoning
 confined spaces – such as silos, water tanks, milk vats and manure
pits may contain unsafe atmospheres, which can cause poisoning or
suffocation
 electricity – dangers include faulty switches, cords, machinery or
overhead power lines
 heights – falls from ladders, rooftops, silos and windmills are a major
cause of injury
 machinery – hazards include tractors without roll-over protection
structures (ROPS), power take-off (PTO) shafts, chainsaws, augers,
motorbikes and machinery with unguarded moving parts
 noise pollution – noise from livestock, machinery and guns can affect
your hearing
 vehicles – crashes or falls from motorbikes, two-wheel and quad
bikes, tractors, utes and horses can result in major injuries
 water – drowning can occur in as little as five centimeters of water.
Dams, lakes, ponds, rivers, channels, tanks, drums and creeks are all
hazards. Young children are particularly at risk
 weather – hazards include sunburn, heat stroke, dehydration and
hypothermia.

Hazards in the workplace need to be identify and reported to the

authorities for immediate action to avoid injuries, diseases or even death.
