HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MATERIAL
The goal of this course is the development of practical skills. To gain these skills,
you must learn basic concepts and terminologies. For the most part, you’ll get this
information from the Information Sheets and TESDA Website, www.tesda.gov.ph
This will be the source of information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in
this particular competency independently and at your own pace, with minimum
supervision or help from your instructor.
Work through all the information and complete the activities in each section.
Read information sheets and complete the self-check. Suggested references are
included to supplement the materials provided in this module.
Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or manager. He/she is
there to support you and show you the correct way to do things.
You will be given plenty of opportunity to ask questions and practice on the job.
Make sure you practice your new skills during regular work shifts. This way you
will improve both your speed and memory and also your confidence.
Use the self-checks, Operation Sheets or Job Sheets at the end of each section
to test your own progress.
When you feel confident that you have had sufficient practice, ask your Trainer to
evaluate you. The results of your assessment will be recorded in your Progress
Chart and Accomplishment Chart.
You need to complete this module before you can perform the next module.

Hazard is something that can cause harm e.g. electricity, chemicals, working up a
ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress, etc.
A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.
1. Safety Hazards- are unsafe working conditions that can cause injury, illness and
death. Safety hazards are the most common workplace hazards.
2. Biological Hazards- also known as “biohazards”, refer to biological substances
that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans such
as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.
3. Chemical Hazards- are present when a worker is exposed to any form (solid,
liquid, or gas). Some are safer than others, but to some workers who are more
Beware of:
Liquids like cleaning products, paints, acids and solvents especially if chemicals
are in an unlabeled container.
Gases like acetylene, propane, carbon monoxide and helium
Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and explosive chemicals
Pesticides
4. Physical Hazards- can be any factors within the environment that can harm the
body without necessarily touching it. It includes radiation, high exposure to
sunlight, temperature extremes, and constant loud noise.
5. Ergonomic Hazards- occur when the type of work, body positions and working
conditions put a strain on your body. They are the hardest to spot since you don’t
always immediately notice the strain on your body or the harm that these hazards
pose.
Examples include:
Workload demands
Workplace violence
Personal problems
Respect (or lack thereof)
Flexibility
Control or say about things

SAFETY REGULATIONS
Learning Objectives:
Content:
Safety regulations are important in any workplace to ensure the safety of all
workers, whether it is an office building or a manufacturing plant. Safety regulations
should not only be taught but also enforced on a regular basis by the company’s
executives.
Purpose
One of the main benefits of establishing a safety system in the workplace is the
comfort of all employees in the company. Some employees might feel more secure in
the workplace knowing that safety measures and regulations have been established
and reinforced to protect them. Another major benefit of workplace safety is the
reputation the business will get, as it trains and reinforces employee safety and
knowledge on a daily basis.
Teaching Safety
At the time of hire, employees usually undergo a training program that teaches all
of the necessary procedures and policies in the place of business..

The Clean Air Act (CAA) is the comprehensive federal law that regulates air
emissions from stationary and mobile sources. Among other things, this law authorizes
EPA to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public
health and public welfare and to regulate emissions of hazardous air pollutants.
One of the goals of the Act was to set and achieve NAAQS in every state by
1975 in order to address the public health and welfare risks posed by certain
widespread air pollutants. The setting of these pollutant standards was coupled with
directing the states to develop state implementation plans (SIPs), applicable to
appropriate industrial sources in the state, in order to achieve these standards. The Act
was amended in 1977 and 1990 primarily to set new goals (dates) for achieving
attainment of NAAQS since many areas of the country had failed to meet the deadlines.
Section 112 of the Clean Air Act addresses emissions of hazardous air
pollutants. Prior to 1990, CAA established a risk-based program under which only a few
For major sources, Section 112 requires that EPA establish emission standards
that require the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of hazardous air pollutants.
These emission standards are commonly referred to as “maximum achievable control
technology” or “MACT” standards. Eight years before the technology- based MACT
standards are issued for a source category, EPA is required to review those standards
to determine whether any residual risk exists for that source category and, if necessary,
revise the standards to address risk.

Waste Management
Learning Objectives:
Content:
Waste management or waste disposal is all the activities and actions required to
manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes amongst other
things, collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste together with monitoring
and regulation. It also encompasses the legal and regulatory framework that relates to
waste management encompassing guidance on recycling etc.
Plastic waste-this consists of bags, containers, jars, bottles and many other products
that can be found in your households. Plastic is not biodegradable, but many types of
plastic can be recycled.
Tins and metals- this can be found in various forms throughout your home. Most
metals can be recycled.
Ceramics and glass- these items can easily be recycled. Look for special glass
recycling bins and bottle banks to dispose them properly.
3. Organic Waste- is another common household. All food waste, garden waste,
manure and rotten meat are classified as organic waste. Overtime, organic waste
is turned into manure by microorganisms.
4. Recyclable Rubbish- includes all waste items that can be converted into
products that can be used again. Solid items such as paper, metals, furniture and
organic waste can all be recycled.
5. Hazardous Waste- includes all types of rubbish that are flammable, toxic,
corrosive and reactive. These items can harm you as well as the environment
and must be disposed correctly.

Contingency plan is a written emergency procedures plan which describes what actions
must be taken to minimize hazards from fires, explosions or unplanned releases of
hazardous waste constituents to air, soil or water.
Evacuation is the immediate and rapid movement of people away from the threat or
actual occurrence of a hazard. Examples range from the small scale evacuation of a
building due to a bomb threat or fire to the large scale evacuation of a district because
of a flood, bombardment or approaching weather system.
Forms of Isolation
1. Strict isolation is used for diseases spread through the air and in some case by
contact.
2. Contact isolation is used to prevent the spread of diseases that can be spread
through contact with open wounds.
3. Respiratory isolation is used for diseases that are spread through particles that
are exhaled.
4. Blood and body fluids precaution is used when there is concern about
communicable diseases found in a patient’s body fluid.
5. Reverse isolation is a method to prevent a patient in a compromised health
situation from being contaminated by other people or objects.

Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience and
adverse health effect if exposed to hazard. It may also apply to situations with property
or equipment loss, or harmful effects on the environment.
A common factor in whether regulation is used is the seriousness of the outcome being
addressed in terms of human health. For this reason regulation is more common in
transportation and the workplace. Regulations are often introduced in situations where
the actions of one person can injure other persons who do not have the ability or
opportunity to decide whether to accept the associated with those actions.
Frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock). Noisy machinery (could result
in damage to your hearing).
Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone
and how serious the harm could be.
Example: Ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using equipment.
The best way to fix a hazard is to get rid of it altogether. This is not always possible.
Isolation-separate the hazard from people, by marking the hazardous area, fitting
screens or putting up safety barriers.
If risk remain after the options have been tried, it may be necessary to use equipment
such as safety glasses, gloves, helmets and ear muffs. PPE can protect you from
