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 should 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 the Common Electrical Wire Splices and Joints.
Rat Tail or Pig Tail. This kind of joint is Y-splice. This method of wrapping is
commonly used to join two or more generally used on small cables because
conductors inside the junction box. It is the strands are flexible and all can be
suitable for service where there is no wrapped in one operation.
mechanical stress when wires are to be
connected in an outlet box, switch, or
conduit fitting
Knotted tap. This is used where the tap Plain tap joint. This is used where the
wire is under heavy tensile stress. tap wire is under considerable tensile
stress circuit.
Aerial tap. This is used as a temporary tap Duplex cross joint. This is a two-tap
wire turned simultaneously and is used
usually done in constructions sites. The where the two tap wire is under heavy
easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement tensile stress.
Western Union Short-tie Splice. This is

the most widely used splice or joint in
interior wiring installation to extend the Western Union Long Tie. This is used
length of wire from one point to another. extensively for outside wiring to extend
the length of wire from one end to
another.
Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint. This is

Cross joint. The same application is done
used on large solid conductors where it
as in plain tap and the only difference is
is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire
that this tap is a combination of two plain
around the main wire.
taps place 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 product of modern technology to make our life better. The
number of electrical gadgets available at home and in offices may exceed the existing
convenience outlet installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of
available outlet 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 standard for safety and quality.

RECEIVING AND INSPECTING FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the
company’s supplies, materials and anything that the company needs. But his duty does not
end in just purchasing but also in receiving the deliveries of what he purchased.
In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right
materials and supplies were delivered and all 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 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 the
meter, second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology.
The English word measurement originates from the Latin mēnsūra 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 a electrical task. Different
kinds of measuring tools and precision measuring instruments are as follows:
Measuring tool/instrument Description
Test Light is a pocket size tool used to test the

line wire or circuit if there is current in it.
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 object and in sketching 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 rule 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

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

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 current flowing in a conductor.
It is clamped or hanged in a conductor.
Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) otherwise called as

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.

anything can be measured.
These are common units of measurement used in making layout and

installation of electrical materials:
A. Linear measures
1. English system provides the creative way on how people can measure
by themselves. For example, people measure shorter distance on the ground
with their feet. They measure long distances by their palms which is equal to a
yard.
 Inch
 Yard
 Miles
2. Metric system is a decimalized system of measurement. It exists in

several variations with different choices of base units. Metric units are widely
used around the world for personal, commercial and scientific purpose.
 Millimeter

Therefore: 6 feet = 72 inches

THE MULTITESTER
INTRODUCTION
The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes called the VOM (voltmeter,

ohmmeter, milliammeter). It is the best instrument that can measure voltage,
resistance and current. It is generally made of two types: the analog and the digital.
A. PARTS OF A MULTI TESTER
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
marking used for reading
the value of a quantity
setting.
SCALE -can have different

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

negative (black) is used to
Zero-ohm
connect the circuit to the
adjustingKnob is
electrical components being
used to zero-in
tested
the pointer before
measuring
resistance.
A. Proper care and maintenance of the multi tester
1. Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multi-tester.

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.

B. How to read the meter scale of the multi tester
To read the resistance range of the multi-tester, the given table below will be
used. The unit of measurement to be used to determine its resistance is ohm.

ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented by diagram. There are
two types of diagram: 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.
Example of this is the Christmas lights. 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 light 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 parallel circuit is the same. The advantage of using
parallel circuit is that even if one of the lamps fails, still the remaining lamps will
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

Classification of Tools and Equipment

A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but that
is not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand thus
increasing speed, power, and accuracy and on the other hands equipment includes 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
They 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.
1. Hammers are mostly used tools in the shop. They should be gripped at the end of the
handle.
2. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a pivot so that
items of various sizes can be gripped.
3. Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts and bolts with hexagonal heads. ―Hexagonal‖
means six-sided. A variety of wrenches are used in the shop.
4. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from blind holes, and
cylinders’ liners from the 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.
2. Grinding tool can be either bench-mounted or installed on a pedestal. They may either

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. Clean out the Dust. 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. Storing Your Tools- 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 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, mechanical and others.
These are the common Personal Protective Equipment gadgets:
Hard Hats/ Helmets Gloves
Goggle Mask Work boots Pants
Pictures of electricians working using Personal Protective Equipment
Pictures of Linemen’s working using Personal protective Equipment

REMEMBER
1. Personal protective equipment should be taken cared as of the other tools
and equipment. Wipe your helmets, gloves, safety shoes before keeping it.
2. It should also be cleaned, kept in proper tool rack/ cabinet.
3. It should be stored in dry places so that it will not have mold build-up.
4. Over-all suites should be washed regularly so that perspirations and other dirt
will be washed clean.
C. Classification of non-functional and functional tools
Tools are very useful to us in our homes especially to our job. 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 is function.
 Method of identifying non-functional tools and equipment
1. Visual inspection. It 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 on parts
and accessories started to develop.
3. Performance. When there is something wrong with the performance of either hand
tools or equipment they need an immediate repair or maintenance.
4. Power supply (for electrically operated only). Failure to meet the required power
supply, malfunction will occurs in the part of hand tools or equipment.
5. Person’s involved. It refers to the technical person who has the knowledge and
skills about the technology.

Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment
The most significant point to think at the start of your career is to acquire branded
tools. They must be made out 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 guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long run, to
start with a few cautiously 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, maintaining the inventory record is of
great value.

Maintaining and Storing Tools & Equipment
An important aspect of any business is the maintenance and storage of tools and
equipment. The investment in tools and equipment is a significant part of the overhead
expenses in any operation. Proper selection and maintenance of equipment are important
factors in managing business. Selecting the proper tool for the job and using the tool
properly will increase efficiency and reduce maintenance problems. Purchase tools, which
are well-made and suited to the intended use. Commercial usage may entail more heavy
duty demands on equipment.

HAZARDS AND RISKS
What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk'?
A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg electricity, chemicals, working up a

ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, 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 worker’s life will be in a 'high-risk' category.

Five Basic Workplace Hazards
There are five major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety at risk.
1. Chemical hazards
2. Physical hazards
3. Biological hazards
4. Ergonomic hazards or job related hazards
5. 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 a cleansers,

 acids, and paints
 vapours and fumes such as
 welding fumes
 gases such as carbon monoxide
 products that can catch fire 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
Why be careful around ticks, mouse droppings, bird poop and wild animals?
Because 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 job 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:
 lghting
 chairs
 lifting
 repeated movements
 computer screens
PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS
Those that are basically causing 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.
Workplace causes of stress include:
• heavy workloads
• lack of control over the pace of work
• shift work
• noise
• working by yourself
• fear of job-loss
• conflict with the employer

What are examples of a hazard?
Example of
Workplace Hazard Example of Harm Caused
Hazard
thing knife cut
substance benzene leukemia
material asbestos mesothelioma
source of energy electricity shock, electrocution
condition wet floor slips, falls
process welding metal fume fever
practice hard rock mining silicosis
THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE
One of the most critical among the hazards that one may encounter is the chemical
hazard. Chemical may produce reactions that may endanger ones health and life. This is the
reason why the American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) established a
threshold limit value (tlv).
TLV is the term used by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH*) to
express the airborne concentration of a material to which nearly all persons can be exposed
day after day, without adverse health effects

will adversely affect their utilization for domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural,
recreational, or other legitimate purposes.
a) Pollution b) atmospheric pollution c) air pollution

What is a risk assessment?
Occupational Safety and Health (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 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 TLV's for approximately 850 chemical.
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 one type of hazard that needs careful evaluation before extinguishing it. Not all fire
could be extinguished by water that is why it is necessary that we knew first the cause of fire
before dealing the fire.
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, Fire-
fighting 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 wastes 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.

hazards.
2. Good housekeeping reduces the risk of fire and is cost-effective.
3. Safety signs are method of hazard control.
4. Hygiene (cleanliness) is not so important as a method of controlling hazards
5. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when
necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home to your family.

3A. 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 Identify hazards,
o 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 for example, 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.

4. Safety signs are not a method of hazard control.
5. Personal cleanliness is an important method of controlling hazards.
6. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a

8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If you must wash them at home, wash them

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 trainings that everybody
needs in all our localities. One should participate in this disaster training so that we will not
be caught unaware when calamity struck.
