COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS

Introduction
As a student in Electrical Installation and Maintenance, you should acquire the
important knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and be familiar with the actual
application of every splice and joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual wiring
installation. Of course, another factor is the knowledge in interpreting and analyzing the
wiring diagram especially if the circuit is complicated.
The following are common electrical wire splices and joints.
Rat Tail or Pig Tail. This kind of joint is

commonly used to join two or more
conductors inside the junction box. It is
suitable for service where there is no
mechanical stress when wires are to be
connected in an outlet box, switch, or
conduit fitting.
Y-splice. This method of wrapping is

generally used on small cables because
the strands are flexible and can all be
wrapped in one operation.
Knotted tap. This is used where the tap

wire is under heavy tensile stress.
Plain tap joint. This is used where the

tap wire is under considerable tensile
stress circuit.

taps placed side by side with each other.
EXTENSION CORD
An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical power cable with a plug on one end
and multiple sockets on the other end. It comes in several varieties to suit the needs of the
user. One of the most important considerations is the power handling capacity to make it
safe and functional.
Electrical gadgets are products of modern technology to make our life better. The
number of electrical gadgets available at home and in offices may exceed the existing
convenience outlets installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of
available outlets is to use an extension cord especially if the electrical gadgets need to
operate at the same time.
REMINDER
Be careful in buying an extension cord. You have to look for the Department of Trade
and Industry (DTI) markings. The Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance
(ICC) markings on it signify that the product passed the DTI standards for safety and quality.

activities to gain knowledge and skills required for mastery.

RECEIVING AND INSPECTING FREIGHT SHIPMENTS

One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the
companys supplies, materials, and anything that the company needs. But this duty does not
end in just purchasing but also in receiving the deliveries of what was purchased.
In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right
materials and supplies were delivered and all are in good condition without defects.
A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following questions:
1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and address. If
your agency has more than one location, make sure the goods are for this exact
address. Check the freight to see if it is the same as what is described on the delivery
receipt. Look at the label on each item to make sure the shipment belongs to you.
2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage. Check for
holes, water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can. Check for rattling. Listen
for something broken inside. Check to see if any package has been opened or if the
sealing tape has been tampered with.
3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number on the
delivery receipt to the number you have counted. If the shipment is on a pallet,
check to make sure the pallet is solid with no voids inside the stack. If the shipment
is shrink or stretch wrapped, make sure the wrap hasn't been cut and pieces
removed. Sign only for the type of unit you receive. For example: two pallets. Don't
sign for the number of packages that are supposed to be on the pallet. However, if
time permits or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped, count the packages, and
only then sign for the number of packages.
B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following:
1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the terms specified by
your agency, or is damaged to the point where it no longer has a value.
2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note exceptions on the
delivery receipt.
C. How to note exceptions:
1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately. Pinpoint the
locations of all defects. If you can see the damage, have the driver wait while you
open and inspect the packages. Write down the number and identity of the damaged
pieces. This is called a "joint inventory."
2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number of pieces
actually delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then write down the number of
pieces missing and note them as "short."
3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt. Have
the driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full name (not initials or
nicknames). After the driver signs, you sign also. Write your agency's name, your
full name, the date, and the time of day.
D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection:
1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to inspect the damaged
goods and packaging. The formal request should be made by phone right after
discovering any loss or damage.
2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier in writing. Note
the date and time of your previous phone call and the person contacted. Keep a
copy of your request letter on file.
3. Once contacted about damage or shortage, the carrier may waive inspection and tell
you so. If so, write down the name of the person who waived the inspection, and the
date and time of waiver. Then conduct your own detailed inspection. Write up your
findings in a report and attach it to the file. If you can, take photographs to confirm
your inspection report.

MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical
quantity, such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such as meter,
second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology.
The English word measurement originates from the Latin mnsra and the
verbmetiri through the Middle French mesure.
Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so extra care is
necessary in handling them. These are used to measure currents, voltages, resistances,
wattages, and other important elements in electrical works. This topic will tackle the
function/use of each measuring tool and instrument used in doing an electrical task. Different
kinds of measuring tools and precision measuring instruments are as follows:
Measuring tool/instrument
Description
Test Light is a pocket-sized tool used to test

the presence of current in a line wire or circuit.
Micrometer is used to measure the diameter of

wires/conductors in circular mils. It can
measure small and big sizes of wires and
cables.
Wire Gauge is used in determining the size of

wires/conductors. The gauge ranges from 0 to
60 awg ( American wire gauge).
Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool used to

measure length, width, and thickness of short
flat objects and to draw straight lines
*A ruler/rule is a tool used in, for

example, geometry, technical
drawing,
engineering, and carpentry, to measure lengths
or distances or to draw straight lines. Strictly
speaking, the ruler is the instrument used
to draw straight lines and the calibrated
instrument used for determining length called
a measure. However, common usage calls,
both
instruments rulers and
the
special
name straight edge is used for an unmarked
rule.
Pull-Push Rule is a measuring tool used to

measure the length of an object in centimeter
and inches.
.

53
Ammeter is an instrument used to measure the

amount of electrical current intensity in a circuit.
The unit of measure is ampere (a). It is
connected along or series to the circuit.
Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure

the electrical pressure or voltage of a circuit.
The unit of measure is volt (v). This is
connected across or parallel to the circuit.
Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-tester. It is

used to measure the current flowing in a
conductor. It is clamped or hung in a conductor.
Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) also called multi-tester,

is used to measure the voltage, resistance, and
current of a circuit. It is connected in parallel or
series with the circuit depending on what to
measure.

THE MULTITESTER
INTRODUCTION
The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes called the VOM (voltmeter,
ohmmeter, milliammeter). It is an instrument that can measure voltage, resistance,
and current. It is generally made of two types: the analog and the digital.
A. PARTS OF A MULTITESTER
POINTER. The
needle-shaped rod
that moves over the
scale of a meter.
Pointer. It is mechanically
connected to the moving
coil. it indicates the
measured values on the
multimeter scale.
RANGE SELECTOR KNOB

(Selector switch) makes it
possible to select different
functions and range of the
meter.
Adjustment screw makes it

possible to adjust the pointer
to the zero position of the
scale.
SCALE is a series of
markings
used for
reading the value of a
SCALE can have different

types of scale, for voltage
and current readings the
scales have mostly linear
which
means
equal
division.
For resistance
Test probe positive (red),

negative (black) is used to
connect the circuit to the
electrical components being
tested
Zero-ohm
adjustingKnob is
used to
zero-in
the pointer before
measuring
resistance.
A. Proper care and maintenance of the multitester

1. Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multitester.
2. In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the highest range to avoid
reading voltage higher than the tester setting.
3. Be sure that the tester is set to the correct range setting: resistance range
when measuring the ohm, voltage range when measuring voltage and
ammeter range when measuring the value of electric current.
4. Always check the condition of its battery. Worn out batteries will damage the
internal setting of the tester.
5. When the tester is not in used or will be stored, set the selector switch to
1000V or to OFF position.
6. Never drop the tester.

COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS
Electrical Symbols are small drawings or pictograms used to represent various
electrical devices in a diagram or plan of an electrical circuit. These symbols are used in
sketching schematic diagrams and electrical plans for numerous types of electrical works.
Practically any electrical fixture found in a house has a symbol that coincides with a
particular fixture in an electrical wiring diagram. These are useful guides for an electrician or
electrical contractor, and make the wiring easier to install as well.
The following are common electrical symbols used in sketching wiring plans and
diagrams.

ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented in a diagram. There are
two types of diagrams: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.
A.
Pictorial diagram is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows the external appearance
of each component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and uses simple
images of parts.
Sample pictorial diagram of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using 9 volt
battery source.
B.
Schematic diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using

standard electrical symbols. It shows the actual number of components and
how the wiring is routed but not the actual location.
Diagram A
Diagram B
Sample schematic diagrams of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using direct
current (Diagram A) and alternating current (Diagram B) source.
C.
Types of Circuit
1. Series Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are arranged in a chain, so that the
current has only one path to take. The current is the same through each load. An
example of this is Christmas light/bulbs. It consists of a number of bulbs that are
connected side by side to meet the voltage requirement which is 220 volts for
alternating current.
Pictorial diagram of Christmas lights in series circuit
Schematic diagram of three bulbs connected in series controlled by a single

pole switch.
2. Parallel Circuit is a circuit in which lamps are connected across the wires. The
voltage across each load on a parallel circuit is the same. The advantage of using
parallel circuit is that even if one of the lamps fails, the remaining lamps will still
function.
Pictorial diagram of two bulbs connected in parallel circuit controlled by a

single pole switch.
Schematic diagram of three bulbs connected in parallel circuit controlled by a

single pole switch.
ELECTRICAL PLAN
Electrical plan is a graphical presentation of electrical wiring connections to install
in a particular house or building. It indicates the position of electrical fixtures such as
convenience outlets, switches, lightings, door bells, and others to be installed.

Classification of Tools and Equipment

A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but is
not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand, thus
increasing speed, power, and accuracy. Equipment is any machine powered by electricity.
1. Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical energy
such as puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.
2. Machine/Power tools are tools manipulated by our hands and with the use
of electrical energy such as electric drill, grinding wheels, vacuum cleaner,
and others.
3. Pneumatic tools are tools or instruments activated by air pressure.

Pneumatic tools are designed around three basic devices: the air cylinder, the
vane motor, and the sprayer.
A.
Hand tools
These include screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, wrenches, and pullers.

1. Screwdrivers are used to drive or turn screws. The common type has a single flat
blade for driving screws with slotted heads. The other type has the cross slotted
head.
2. Hammers are mostly used tools in the shop. They should be gripped at the end of the
handle.
3. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a pivot so that
items of various sizes can be gripped.
4. Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts, and bolts with hexagonal or six-sided heads.
A variety of wrenches are used in the shop.
5. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from blind holes, and
cylinder liners from engine blocks.
B.
Machine/Power Tools
1. Electric drill has an electric motor that drives a chuck. The chuck has jaws that can be
opened and then closed to grip a drill kit.

Operation Sheet 1.1
A. Basic Maintenance of Electrical Tools and Equipment

To ensure that your electric tools work when you need them, you must take proper
care of them. A good routine of maintenance for your tools is one thing that you can do to
make sure that the tool you need is working when you need it.
1. Keep the tool clean. To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you
are, keep them clean and free of dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every
once in a while on your tools while they are inactive in storage.
2. Check the cords. Look for tear/cut insulator on the power cords on your electric tools.
This will ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function
without an accident.
3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow
the safety directions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
When working on a circuit, use approved tools with insulated handles.
4. Protect your tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. These
hazards can damage insulation. If a tool or cord heats up, stop using it. Report the
condition to a supervisor or instructor immediately.
5. Use double-insulated tools. Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of
insulation barriers between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker.
6. Store your tools properly. Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and
containers. This will keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used.
Note: Proper care of your electric tools is the key to making sure that they last for
many years.
B. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are gadgets used to protect workers from
injury or illness caused by having contact with the dangers/hazards in the workplace,
whether they are chemical, biological, radiation, physical, electrical, or mechanical.
These are the common Personal Protective Equipment gadgets:
Hard Hats/ Helmets
Goggles
Mask
Gloves
Work boots
Pants
Pictures of electricians working using Personal Protective Equipment
Pictures of Linemen working using Personal Protective Equipment
REMEMBER
1.
2.
3.
4.
Personal Protective Equipment should be cared for like the other tools and
equipment. Wipe your helmets, gloves, safety shoes before keeping them.
These should also be cleaned and stored properly.
These should be stored in dry places so that they will not have mold build-up.
Over-all suits should be washed regularly so that perspiration and dirt will be
washed clean.
C. Classification of Tools
Tools are very useful to us. But tools that are no longer functional may cause harm.
A. Make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools in your shop.
B. Classify your tools according to their functions.
Method of identifying non-functional tools and equipment
1. Visual inspection. This refers to the visual observation of an expert on the
appearance of the tools and equipment.
2. Functionality. Vibration or extra noise from the operation means problems with parts
and accessories are starting to develop.
3. Performance. When there is something wrong with the performance of either hand
tools or equipment they need immediate repair or maintenance.
4. Power supply (for electrically operated only). Failure to meet the required power
supply will result in a malfunction.
5. Persons involved. It refers to the technical person who has the knowledge and skills
about the technology.

Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment
A significant point to consider at the start of your career is to acquire good quality
tools. They must be made of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special
consideration is given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and
prevent loses. Since the technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of
tools/equipment is very significant.
The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying
warranty which guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long
run, to start with a few carefully selected tools that will take care of your most common
needs and then slowly build-up to a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and
memorize the huge number of tools and equipment in the workshop, thus maintaining the
inventory record is of great value.

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 workers life will be in a 'high-risk' category.
Five Basic Workplace Hazards

There are ve major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety at risk.

Chemical hazards
Physical hazards
Biological hazards
Ergonomic hazards or job-related hazards
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 re 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
insect stings
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.
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:
heavy workloads
lack of control over the pace of work
shift work
noise
working by yourself
fear of job loss
conict with the employer

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE

One of the most critical hazards that one may encounter are chemical hazards.
Chemicals may produce reactions that may endanger ones health and life. This is the
reason why the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH) established a
threshold limit value (TLV).
TLV is the term used by the ACGIH to express the airborne concentration of a material to
which nearly all persons can be exposed day after day, without adverse health effects.

What is risk assessment?

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with
protecting the safety, health, and welfare of people engaged in work or employment.
The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work
environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members,
employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who
are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject
areas, including occupational medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public
health, safety engineering / industrial engineering, chemistry, health, and physics.
Risks include acute and chronic health effects, for example, irritation or cancer, and
physical effects such as fires or explosions. The hazards are physical and health hazards.
II. Risk assessment
A. Risk assessment is the process where you:
1. identify hazards
2. analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard
3. determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard
B. Factors that influence the degree of risk include:
how much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition
how the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin contact), and how severe
are the effects under the conditions of exposure
ACGIH has established TLVs for approximately 850 chemicals.

TLVs may appear as:
TLV-TWA or time-weighted average, which is an average eight-hour exposure limit;
TLV-STEL or short-term exposure limit, which is a fifteen-minute exposure limit, or
TLV-C or ceiling, which is a limit which should never be exceeded without protection.
II. Fire and Explosion Hazard Assessment

Fire is a hazard that needs careful evaluation before extinguishing it. Not all fires can be
extinguished by water. That is why it is necessary that we identify the cause of fire before
dealing with it.
1. Flash Point and Method Used: Lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off enough
flammable vapors to ignite. Since flash points vary according to how they are obtained, the
method used must be listed. Chemicals with lower flash points present a greater flammability
hazard.
2. Flammable Limits: Range of concentrations over which a flammable vapor mixed with air
will flash or explode if an ignition source is present. Range extends between lower explosive
limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) and is expressed in percentage of volume of
vapor or gas in air (0 100%).
Chemicals with a broad flammable range (i.e., range between the LEL and the UEL)
and/or a flammable range in the lower percentages present a greater flammability hazard.
3. Extinguishing Media: Fire-fighting material for use on substance that is burning. Firefighting material should be indicated by its generic name (e.g. water, foam, dry chemical,
etc.).
III. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing,
and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by
human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on
health, the environment, or aesthetics.
Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses
on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. The management of waste
treats all materials as a single class, whether solid, liquid, gaseous, or radioactive
substances, and tried to reduce the harmful environmental impacts of each through different
methods.
Waste
management
practices
differ
for developed and developing
nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers.
Management for non- hazardous waste residential and institutional waste in metropolitan
areas is usually the responsibility
of local
government
authorities,
while
management
for
non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste is usually the
responsibility of the generator.

HAZARD CONTROL
All workplace hazards (chemical, physical, etc.) can be controlled by a variety of methods.
The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to
occupational hazards. Some methods of hazard control are more efficient than others, but
a combination of methods usually provides a safer workplace than relying on only one
method. Some methods of control are cheaper than others but may not provide the most
effective way to reduce exposures.
To control hazards in your workplace you need to identify and understand those
hazards. Your first priority should always be to eliminate the hazards. If the hazards can't be
eliminated, try finding safer ways to carry out those tasks by substituting less harmful
substances or changing the work environment through engineering controls. Also consider
changing how work activities are organized and performed. For example, reduce the time
workers are exposed to a hazard by rotating them to another task.
A. Controlling workplace hazards
Once a hazard has been identified and the risk assessed, control measures should be put
into place. A simple list of control measures can be utilized - the hierarchy of control.
1. Identify the Hazard

Identify the source of the problem
2. Assess the Risk

Risk assessment is the process where you:
o
o
identify hazards
analyze or evaluate the risk associated
with that hazard
o determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control

the hazard
3. Eliminate the Hazard or Risk
Elimination of a specific hazard or hazardous work process, or
preventing it from entering the workplace is the most effective
method of control. Eliminating a hazard means removing it
completely.
4. Engineering Control may mean changing a piece of
machinery (for example, using proper machine guards) or a
work process to reduce exposure to a hazard.
5. Administrative Controls
Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area is an
example of an administrative control. One example is job
rotation.
6. Substitution is one measure of replacing one hazardous

agent or work process with a less dangerous one. It is
important to consider worker health and safety when
work processes are still in the planning stages.
Provide Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes ear and eye
protection, respirators, and protective clothing.
Remember: it is always better to control the hazard as close to the source as possible.
Using personal protection is the least acceptable and least effective of all control
measures.

YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK
Personal hygiene
Finally, personal hygiene (cleanliness) is also very important as a method of controlling
hazards. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower
every day at the end of your shift, no matter what your job is. Wash your skin and hair with a
mild soap, rinse and dry your skin completely to protect it. Washing hands regularly, and
eating and smoking
away from your work
area help to prevent
ingesting
Do not take workplace
contaminants.
hazards home with you!
Lack of personal
cleanliness can affect
your family's health.
Your family can be
exposed to hazards
you work with if you
bring chemicals and
other workplace contaminants home with you on your clothes, hair or skin. Before you leave
work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing workplace
contaminants home.
Leave your dirty clothes at work or, if you must wash them at home, wash
them separately not with the family wash.
It may seem that the amount of contaminant you can bring home on your clothes or skin is
very small and cannot hurt your family. In reality a small exposure every day for months can
add up to a big exposure. A classic example of this spreading the hazard involves
asbestos, where wives of asbestos workers have developed asbestosis from exposure to the
asbestos on their husbands' work clothes. Similarly, children have developed lead poisoning
from exposure to lead which comes home on their parents' work clothes.
If you wear protective clothing at work, such as aprons, laboratory coats, overalls,
etc., these should be cleaned regularly and you should inspect them for holes or areas that
are worn out. Workers who launder these clothes should be trained in the types of hazards
they may work with and how they can be controlled. Inspect your underclothes at home for
any signs of contamination with oils, solvents, etc. If you find any signs, then it means your
protective clothing at work is not effective.
Every workplace should have some kind of first aid facility
Every workplace should have at least minimal first aid facilities as well as adequate
personnel trained to provide first aid. First aid facilities and trained personnel are important
components of a healthy and safe workplace.

6. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a

7. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when
8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If you must wash them at home, wash them
separately never wash your work clothes with your family's wash.
9. Your protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Inspect your protective
clothing for holes and worn areas that could leave you open to exposures.
10. Inspect your undergarments for signs of contamination.
11. Your workplace should have at least minimal first aid facilities.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Process of ensuring that an organization has complied with the preventive measures,
is in a state of readiness to contain the effects of a forecasted disastrous event to minimize
loss of life, injury, and damage to property, can provide rescue, relief, rehabilitation, and
other services in the aftermath of the disaster, and has the capability and resources to
continue to sustain its essential functions without being overwhelmed by the demand placed
on them.
Preparedness for the first and immediate response is called emergency preparedness.
Always remember that disaster comes in the most unexpected time and place. Being ready
is always a necessity in all circumstances. The government is giving needed trainings in all
our localities. One should participate in this disaster training so that we will not be caught
unaware when calamities stricken.
