Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 7/8- IA (SMAW) !

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

Schools Division of Bago 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 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- IA (SMAW) 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- IA (SMAW) 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.

Evaluating Hazards and Risks

I. Learning Competency with code:

LO 2. Evaluate and hazards and risks.

2.1 Identify work hazards in the workplace. TLE_IAAW7/8Of-2

II. Background Information for Learners

People are always wondering why accidents happen. Basically, accidents

can be classified in two: such as environmental accidents wherein accidents
come as a phenomenon as nature takes its course on the cause. Another is the
man- made accident, where people become careless and indifferent. Remember
that any kind of tool and equipment might be a source of destruction.

The observation of health and precautions in welding operations is of

greatest importance. Your life and that of the others are more important than the
job you are doing.

Read and understand the key concepts presented below on the aftercare
activities for tools, equipment and paraphernalia:

Environmental Hazards

1. Physical Hazards. Hazards due to the transfer of energy between an object

and a
worker.
 Excessive noise
 Inadequate illumination
 Extreme temperature
 Extreme pressure
 Vibration
 Radiation
 Inadequate ventilation
 Cluttered area
 Ignorance or carelessness of the worker
2. Chemical Hazards. These hazards arise from inhaling chemical agents in the
form of vapor gases, dust, fumes, mist, or by skin contact with these materials.
  Mist Fine particles of a liquid float in air
 Gases- substances in gaseous state but are always airborne at room
temperature.
 Vapor- results when substances that are liquid at room temperature
evaporate.
 Dust- solid harmful substances are ground, cut or crushed by mechanical
actions.
 Fumes- gas is condensed in air, chemically changed and becomes fine
solid
Particles which float in air.

Four Possible Routes of Entry of Chemical Hazards

1. Inhalation- breathing in toxics is the most common and dangerous route.

2. Ingestion- toxics enter through the gastrointestinal tract.
3. Absorption- toxics pass through skin into the bloodstream.
4. Injection- toxics may be injected into the body (needles, ect.)- the least
common, yet most direct route of entry

3. Biological Hazards. Hazards caused by living organisms which include

insects, molds, fungi, viruses, and bacterial contamination; from defects in
sanitation and housekeeping procedures, such as in the provision of potable
water, removal of industrial wastes and sewage, food handling, and personal
cleanliness.

Agents of Biological Hazards

 Bacteria – simple, one-celled organisms that may or may not be harmful.

 Viruses – organisms that depend on a host cell for development or
reproduction
 Fungi – may be small or large parasitic organisms growing in a living or
dead
plant or animal
 Rickettsia – rod-shaped microorganisms that are smaller than bacteria and
depend on a host for development or reproduction. Microorganisms
transmitted
by fleas, ticks, and lice

Common Health Problems from Biological Hazards

a. Tuberculosis (TB)
b. Tetanus
c. Viral Hepatitis
d. HIV/AIDS
 Diseases caused by virus
a. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
b. Hepatitis B Infection
c. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
d. Rabies

4. Ergonomic Hazards. Hazards commonly seen in the workplace, which

are improperly designed tools or work areas, improper lifting or reaching,
poor visual conditions or repeated motions in an awkward position that may
be responsible for fatigue, stress and strain and may lead to accidents in
the occupational environment. Ergonomics is the study of designing
equipment and devices that fit the workers

Effects of Ergonomic Hazards

a. low productivity
b. high rate of errors
c. material wastage and equipment

Health Problems caused by Ergonomics

a. musculoskeletal problems
b. vascular problems
c. visual problems
d. hearing problems
e. skin problem
f. psychological problems
