LEARNING COMPETENCIES FIRM-UP
 Define hazards; Activity 2: Title: Hazard Identification Scavenger Hunt
 Give examples of the Objective: To practice identifying different types of hazards in your surroundings and
types of hazards; and understanding their potential risks.
 Explain the impact of Materials Needed:
various hazards on 1. List of hazard categories (e.g., physical, chemical, biological)
different exposed 2. Notebook or paper
elements. 3. Pen or pencil
Instructions:
 Review the list of hazard categories provided below.
 Go on a scavenger hunt around your home, neighborhood, or workplace to
identify examples of hazards that fall into each category.
 Write down the hazards you find and note why they are considered risky or
dangerous.
 Take photos of the hazards (if safe to do so) to document your findings.
 Reflect on ways to mitigate or eliminate the identified hazards to improve safety
in your environment.
Activity 3: Title: Hazard Scenario Role-Play
Objective: To simulate real-life scenarios involving hazards and practice decision-
making skills in responding to and mitigating risks.
Materials Needed:
 Scenario cards (prepared in advance with different hazard situations)
 Props or visuals to enhance the scenarios (optional)
 Participants (can be done individually or in small groups)
 Instructions:
 Prepare several scenario cards, each describing a different hazardous situation
(e.g., a chemical spill, a power outage, a severe storm).
 Assign each participant or group a scenario card and give them time to read and
understand the scenario.
 Role-play the scenario, with participants taking on different roles (e.g.,
homeowner, emergency responder, community leader) and responding to the
hazard situation.
 4. Encourage participants to discuss and make decisions on how to address the
hazards, prioritize actions, and communicate effectively.
 5. Debrief after each scenario to reflect on the responses, identify strengths and
areas for improvement, and discuss lessons learned.
 6. Rotate roles and scenarios to provide participants with a variety of experiences
