2. Your resume is your most important

tool when applying for a job. A resume
that is poorly presented and badly
written will cause you to have trouble in
getting the job you want.

A resume is a short, point-form

document that you give to your
employers to tell them about your work
experience, education, and skills. Before
you write your resume, you may want
to complete a skills inventory to know
what skills you have to offer to an
employer. (www.youth.gc.ca)
 Reader Teacher’s Guide

3. Before you try to convince an

employer that you’re the person they
need to hire, you should identify all
the skills you have to offer. It’s a lot
harder to talk about your strengths if
you don’t know what they are in the
first place.

Reader Teacher’s Guide

Inputs/Discussion:

The teacher must see to it that

the students understand the concept
and the
importance of basic profile in resume
writing.

The topic is intended to be taught in

the first week of the second quarter,
with a total of 4 hours in a week.
A. Basic Profiling
Profile- A profile is a summary of your experience, skills and
abilities relevant to the position. It may or may not include a
career objective and should be clearly outlined on the front page
of your resume. This will encourage the employer to want to
read the rest of your application and is an important part of your
resume.

Personal details- Personal Details is a recorded information

about an identifiable individual. These details need to be
provided somewhere in your resume. Ensure your details are
kept up to date and include the following as a minimum:
• first and last name;
• address;
• telephone number/mobile number;
• email address; and
• optional: state of health, date of birth, licenses held (e.g.
fork lift as well as car or
truck), citizenship.
B. Preparing a Resume

Your resume will be one of the most important documents

in getting you an interview with an employer. Most
applications for jobs require a resume at a minimum.

A resume is a description of your education, paid

employment, volunteer activities (including school activities),
general interests and personal strengths. It should outline
your technical, transferable and personal skills relevant to the
position you are applying for.

Characteristics of a Good resume
• has just enough information about the applicant's qualifications to
pique the recruiter's or hiring manager's curiosity
• have format, structure and content characteristics that lesser
resumes lack.
• Look -Present your resume in a clean, easy-to-read format with
sections appropriately labeled. Most importantly, make sure that
your resume is perfect. It should be free of typographical errors
• Profile Summary-succinct statement that tells the reader who you
are and what you have to offer
Characteristics of a Good resume
• Grammar-Use fragmented sentences; using action verbs to begin
each fragment. "Monitored weekly sales reports to determine
impact of marketing campaigns" is an example of an effective
sentence fragment
• Verbiage-shouldn't contain so much technical language that a lay
reader gets lost. Anyone reading your resume should be able to
understand what you do for a living
• Flow-Follow a resume format that flows seamlessly from
introduction to areas of expertise to work history to education and
professional affiliations

 Lesson 2:
SKILLS INVENTORY AND MARKET RESEARCH
Lesson Opener:
You should identify first all the skills that you have and the skills that
you can offer before you can convince any employer that you’re the
person they are looking for. Thus, skills inventory is needed. It is easy
for you to look for a specific job-related skill that you need once you
have your lists of skills.
A. Skills Inventory
Skills inventory is listing your capabilities, capacities,
qualifications, and career goals as an employee. It summarizes your
skills, education, and experiences.
 Unlock the key concept Skills Inventory using K-W-L chart. Ask the
students to complete the chart. After completing the first two columns, ask
students to share the things they know and the things they want to know to
the class.

 FINDING YOUR JOB-RELATED SKILLS
Job-related skills are those that you need for a particular job. An office
worker needs computer and keyboarding skills, a mechanic has to
understand repairs and how to use tools, and a cashier must be able to
make change and use a cash register.

REMEMBER
Everything you learn and every skill you have is part of your personal tool kit.
You carry these "tools" with you as you move through school and into the
job market. When you develop a skill or gain experience in one place and put
what you've learned to use someplace else, you're using transferable skills.

 Lesson 1: Physical Factors in the Working
Environment and Risk Assessment in Work
Activities

Lesson Opener:
Many factors combine together to affect the health of individuals and
communities. Whether people are healthy or not, is determined by
their circumstances and environment. To a large extent, factors such as
where we live, the state of our environment, genetics, our income and
education level, and our relationships with friends and family all have
considerable impacts on health, whereas the more commonly
considered factors such as access and use of health care services often
have less of an impact.
This lesson contains two sub-
topics
•Physical factors in the working
environment
•The risk assessment in work activities
• The physical aspects of a workplace environment can
have a direct impact on the productivity, health and
safety, comfort, concentration, job satisfaction and
morale of the people within it. There are lots of physical
factors that may affect the current condition of the
environment. These factors may include water, light,
temperature and atmosphere (ventilation). Another
important factors in the work environment that should
be considered include building design and age,
workplace layout, workstation set-up, furniture and
equipment design and quality, space, noise, vibration,
radiation, air quality.
Pre-assessment Activity: IRF Worksheet

In this activity, your students will assess their knowledge on

physical factors in the working environment and risk assessment in work
activities by accomplishing the IRF worksheet (I – initial answer; R –
revised answer; F – final answer).

The teacher shall give guide questions for them to answer. On the first
row which is I, they will write their initial answer or their self-
understanding about the topics. After the discussion, ask students to go
back to their IRF worksheet and have them revise their answers by filling
out the R portion. Let them answer the remaining item which is F for
their final answer after all the lessons.

•Understand the concepts of physical
factors in the working environment
and risk assessment process.
Vital Question:
•“What do you think will happen if
there is no risk assessment in a
certain work environment?”
Inputs:
•The following inputs will help the
teacher as well as the students
understand more the topics.
A. Physical Factors in the Working
Environment
• The term work environment is used to describe the
surrounding conditions in which an employee
operates. The physical aspects of a workplace
environment can have a direct impact on the
productivity, health and safety, comfort,
concentration, job satisfaction and morale of the
people within it. There are lots of physical factors that
may affect the current condition of the work
environment.
• These factors may include water, lighting, temperature
and ventilation, building design and age, workplace
layout, workstation set-up, furniture and equipment
design and quality, space, noise, vibration, radiation,
air quality.
• The work environment should satisfy the physical and
mental requirements of the people who wok within it.
The following environmental hazards may
require consideration in your workplace
• Noise
• Lighting
• Ventilation, air quality and thermal comfort
• Temperature
• Vibration
• Radiation
• Heavy Lifting
B. Risk Assessment in Work Activities
• According to Melvin Richardson, safety in the
workplace means having an environment free from
injury and hazards. Instituting proper procedures and
ensuring a safe environment will allow employees to
work without worrying about their safety.
What is risk?
•Risk is a chance or probability that a
person will be harmed or experience
an adverse health effect if exposed to
a hazard
•It may also apply to situation with
property or equipment loss
What is risk assessment?
•Risk Assessment is a systematic method of
looking at work activities, considering what
could go wrong, and deciding on suitable
control measures to prevent loss, damage
or injury in the workplace. The Assessment
should include the controls required to
eliminate, reduce or minimize the risks
Why conduct a Risk Assessment?
•Risk Assessments are a fundamental
requirement for businesses. If you don’t
know, or appreciate where the risks are,
you are putting yourself, your employees,
your customers and your organization in
danger.
Assessing Risks in the Workplace
• There are no hard and fast rules as to how Risk
Assessments should be carried out, as every
organization is different and may require a slightly
different approach. It’s important that Risk
Assessments are carried out systematically and all
of the foreseeable risks considered.
• In order to assess risks, it is important to be
aware of the distinction between hazard and risks
Essential Understanding
• The physical factors that may affect the current
condition of the environment are noise, lighting,
ventilation, air quality and thermal comfort,
temperature, vibration, radiation, and heavy lifting.
The physical aspects of a workplace environment can
have a direct impact on the productivity, health and
safety, comfort, concentration, job satisfaction, and
morale of the people within it.
Hazard
•is a situation in the workplace that
has the potential to harm the health
and safety of people or to damage
plant and equipment while
Risk
•is the chance or probability that a
person will be harmed or experience
an adverse health effect if exposed to
a hazard
Risk Assessment is the process where you:
• identify hazards,
• analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard,
and
• determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the
hazard.

Everyone in the workplace has a duty and a

responsibility to do whatever they can to keep the
working environment safe.
 Check-up Understanding: What Have I Learned So
Far?
Instruct students to go back to their IRF worksheet
and let them revise their initial answers to the given guide
questions. They will write their answers on the R portion
(revised answer) of the IRF worksheet.

Call students to read their revised answers. The

teacher shall process their revised answers.
Performance Task Activity

Students will be grouped and assigned to a particular creative

work environment wherein they will conduct a risk assessment using the Work
Activity Risk Assessment and Control Plans template below. They are going
to report to the class their output through a powerpoint presentation.

Safety in the workplace means having an environment free from injury and
hazards. Instituting proper procedures and ensuring a safe environment will allow
employees to work without worrying about their safety.
 Ensuring Safety at the Workplace
Most employees are faced with some sort of hazard at the
job site. Workplace safety needs to be a top priority not only
for employers but the employees as well. Miners, or
employees who may work in confined spaces, may be at
more risk than those who work in open offices, but it is
important to ensure that places of employment are safe for
everyone involved. The Occupational Safety and
Administration's (OSHA) duty is to help prevent work-
related injuries, and even death, from occurring.
WORKPLACE SAFETY REMINDERS
• Ensure all employees have safe working tools, equipment,
and materials. Inspect and test each piece of equipment
on a regular basis to make sure it's working properly.
• Be sure the employee attends regular safety meetings and
understands all procedures for a particular job or
workstation.
• Wear body and eye protective covering when needed.
WORKPLACE SAFETY REMINDERS
•Make sure appropriate ventilation is available
at the workplace.
•Send home sick employees or employees
infected with diseases and illnesses.
•Take notice of violence and stress-related
incidents at the workplace. A disgruntled
employee may need to be dealt with on a one-
on-one basis.
Benefits of Maintaining a Safe
Workplace
•Reduced Accidents
•Reduced Strain
•Reduced Stress
•Air Quality
Hazard
•is a situation in the workplace that has
the potential to harm the health and
safety of people or to damage plant and
equipment. The situation could involve a
task, chemical or equipment used.
What are examples of a hazard?
•Workplace hazards can come from a
wide range of sources. General examples
include any substance, material, process,
practice, etc that has the ability to cause
harm or adverse health effect to a
person under certain conditions.
Workplace Hazards
• A wide array of workplace hazards present risks to
the health and safety of people at work. These
include but are not limited to, "chemicals, biological
agents, physical factors, adverse ergonomic
conditions, allergens, a complex network of safety
risks," and a broad range of psychosocial risk factors.
Physical hazards
•affect many people in the
workplace example Occupational
injuries
Biological hazards (biohazards)
•include infectious microorganisms
such as viruses and toxins produced by
those organisms such as anthrax.
CHEMICAL HAZARDS
• Dangerous chemicals can pose a chemical hazard in the
workplace. There are many classifications of hazardous
chemicals, including neurotoxins, immune agents, dermatologic
agents, carcinogens, reproductive toxins, systemic toxins,
asthmagens, pneumoconiotic agents, and sensitizers.
Authorities such as regulatory agencies set occupational
exposure limits to mitigate the risk of chemical hazards.
Psychosocial hazards
•include risks to the mental and
emotional well-being of workers, such
as feelings of job insecurity, long work
hours, and poor work-life balance.
Hazard management
•is essentially a problem-solving process
aimed at defining problems (identifying
hazards), gathering information about them
(assessing the risks) and solving them
(controlling the risks).
The Government of South Australia recommends an approach
where you carry out the process in managing hazards in three
(3) steps:

Step 1: Identifying Hazards

• Look/find out what could cause harm

Step 2: Assessing the Risks

• Assessing the risk will help in determining the control measure that should be
implemented
Step 3: Controlling the Risks
• Some control measures are more effective than others
• Some controls are:
• Eliminate
• Substitute
• Isolate
Hazard Control
•Hazard control refers to workplace procedures
adopted to minimize injury, reduce adverse
health effects and control damage to plant or
equipment. Hazard control practices are often
standardized and taught to managers and
safety personnel in a given industry.
What are the main ways to control a hazard?
• Elimination (including substitution): remove the hazard
from the workplace, or substitute (replace) hazardous
materials or machines with less hazardous ones.
• Engineering Controls: includes designs or modifications
to plants, equipment, ventilation systems, and processes
that reduce the source of exposure.
What are the main ways to control a hazard?
• Administrative Controls: controls that alter the way the
work is done, including timing of work, policies and
other rules, and work practices such as standards and
operating procedures (including training, housekeeping,
and equipment maintenance, and personal hygiene
practices)..
• Personal Protective Equipment: equipment worn by
individuals to reduce exposure such as contact with
chemicals or exposure to noise.
ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING
•After hazards are identified, continually
review the work environment and work
practices to control or prevent
workplace hazards. Some ways to
prevent and control hazards are:
Regularly and thoroughly maintain equipment.

Ensure that hazard correction procedures are in place

Ensure that everyone knows how to use and maintain personal

protective equipment

Make sure that everyone understands and follows safe work

procedures

Ensure that, when needed, there is a medical program tailored to

your facility to help prevent workplace hazards and exposures
SYNTHESIS. Call students to synthesize the lessons
using the 3-2-1 strategy. They
will give their answers to the following questions:

1. What are the three (3) things that you learned about
the topic/s?
2. What are the two (2) things that you discovered?
3. Ask one (1) question that needs clarification.
Performance Task Activity

You will group the students and ask them to accomplish the performa
task below. Explain to them what they are going to do.
Goal : To design a hypothetical creative workplace that is hygienic and
free of hazardous materials

Role : Architect and Safety and Risks Officer

Audience : Teacher and students

Situation : Your barangay is planning to have a creative workplace that

would cater the different interests of young adults in arts. You are tapped to design a
creative workshop that is hygienic and free of hazardous materials to ensure safety
among the users. You are likewise requested to report and explain the design and its
safety measures to the Barangay Council for their approval.

Product : A creative workplace design that is hygienic and free of

hazardous materials
