If you can demonstrate to your trainer that you are competent in a particular
outcome, you don’t have to do the same training again. Talk to your trainer about having
them formally recognized. If you have a qualification or certificate of competence from
previous training, show it to your trainer. If the skills you acquired are still current and
relevant to the unit/s of competency they may become part of evidence you can present to
RPL. If you are not sure about the currency of your skills discuss this with your trainer.
After completing this module ask your trainer to assess your competency. Result of your
assessment will be recorded in your competency profile. All the learning activities are
designed for you to complete at your own pace.

In this module you will find the activities for you to complete and relevant
information sheets for each learning outcome may have more than one learning activity.

This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency in receiving

After reading this information sheet, you must be able to explain the
occupational Health and Safety procedures.
1. Discuss the occupational health and safety requirements in the workplace
2. Implementing occupational health and safety practices
3. Familiarize the safety tips and practices.

In every field of work, there are safety precautions and practices to be followed to
prevent accidents. Sometimes before an accident occurs, a warning is given so the
individual concerned can prepare for the undesirable eventualities.

In areas where trainees are acquiring basic technical skills, safety begins the
moment they enter the work area or even before reaching the work area. Identifying
health hazards and occupational risk is indispensable. In workshop areas where trainees
stay to acquire skills, there are certain points to consider.

1. Electrical hazards are fatal like electric shocks from open wire and
Grounded electrical appliance.

Oscilloscope (Image Courtesy: B&K Precision)

Although oscilloscopes may not be needed by hobbyists and beginners, these

come handy while learning electronics and troubleshooting circuits. An oscilloscope
displays time-varying signals like voltage waveform patterns on a screen which help in
visualizing the circuit functions. While the basic models cost around $300, the
sophisticated ones can be bought for up to several thousands of dollars.

 There are different categories of signal generators carrying different levels of capabilities,
dimensions, designs, and parameters. The applications include designing, repairing of
electronic devices, and troubleshooting. 
Every versatile signal can create an unlimited number of signals to meet the
debug challenges. One can also vary the output of the signal generator by setting the
amplitude and frequency of the output signal while a simulation is in the process.

 1. WIRE WOUND RESISTOR A wire wound resistor is also called a POWER
RESISTOR. This type of resistor can have a resistance as low as 0.1 ohms (one-tenth of an ohm) or as high
as about 10k. The purpose of a resistor like this is to stop or reduce "ripple." Ripple is the noise or hum in
an amplifier when the sound is turned up. There are many reasons why you need to reduce the level of hum
and this resistor will remove ripple as large as 2.5v when 3.6 amps is flowing, provided you have filter
electrolytics on both side of the resistor to assist in removing the ripple

2. A "BURNT" RESISTOR - normally and technically called a "burnt-out"

resistor. The resistance of a "burnt" resistor can sometimes be determined by scraping
away the outer coating - if the resistor has a spiral of resistance-material. You may be
able to find a spot where the spiral has been damaged.

Note the spirals of conductive carbon. 

The number of spirals has nothing to with the resistance.
It is the amount of carbon particles in the "track" that
determines the resistance. It is also the thickness and
width
of the track that determines the resistance. 
And then it is the overall size of the resistor that
determines the wattage.
And then the size of the leads, the closeness to the PCB
and 
the size of the lands that eventually determines how hot
the resistor
will get.

3. 100mA FUSES Fuses below about 100mA are very hard to make and very
unreliable. Many circuits take a high current when turned to charge the electrolytic and a
100mA (or 50mA or 63mA fuse) will bow and stretch and change shape, every time the
equipment is turned ON. Eventually it will break, due to it heating-up and stretching.
To produce a reliable fuse below 100mA, some manufacturers have placed a
resistor inside the fuse and connected it to a spring. One end of the resistor is soldered to
a wire with low-temperature metal and when the resistor gets hot, the metal softens and

 the spring pulls the resistor away from the wire.

4. CAPACITORS Capacitors are one of the most difficult things to test. That's
because they don't give a reading on a multimeter and their value can range from 1p to
100,000u. 
A faulty capacitor may be "open" when measured with a multimeter, and a good
capacitor will also be "open." 
You need a piece of test equipment called a CAPACITANCE METER to measure the
value of a capacitor. 
a. ELECTROLYTIC and TANTALUM CAPACITORS Electrolytics and
Tantalums are the same for testing purposes but their performance is slightly different in
some circuits. A tantalum is smaller for the same rating as an electrolytic and has a better
ability at delivering a current. They are available up to about 1,000u, at about 50v but
their cost is much higher than an electrolytic. 

b. Ceramic capacitors 104 (2)

5. VOLTAGE REGULATORS. A Voltage Regulator takes a high input voltage

and delivers a fixed output voltage. Providing the input voltage is 4v above the output
voltage, the regulator will deliver a fixed output voltage with almost no ripple. 

6. TRANSFORMERS All transformers and coils are tested the same way. This
includes chokes, coils, inductors, yokes, power transformers, EHT transformers (flyback

 transformers), switch mode transformers, isolation transformers, IF transformers, baluns,
and any device that has turns of wire around a former. All these devices can go faulty. 

7. OPTO ISOLATORS and OPTO COUPLERS Opto Isolators and Opto

Couplers are the same thing. A common opto-coupler is 4N35. It is used to allow two
circuits to exchange signals yet remain electrically isolated. The signal is applied to the
LED, which shines on a silicon NPN photo-transistor in the IC.

8. DIGITAL TRANSISTORS There is no such thing as a DIGITAL

TRANSISTOR or an AUDIO TRANSISTOR. All transistors are just "TRANSISTORS"
and the surrounding components as well as the type of signal, make the transistor operate
in DIGITAL MODE or ANALOGUE MODE. 

9. TRIACs A triac is a bidirectional, three-terminal dual, back-to-back thyristor

(SCR) switch. This device will conduct current in both directions when a small current is
constantly applied to the Gate.  If the gate is given a small, brief, current during any
instant of a cycle, it will remain triggered during the completion of the cycle until the
current though the Main Terminals drops to zero.

 10. MICA WASHERS AND INSULATORS Plastic insulating sheets (washers)
between a transistor and heatsink are most often made from mica but some are plastic and
these get damaged over a period of time, turn dark and become cracked. 
The plastic eventually becomes carbonized and conducts current and can affect the
operation of the appliance. You can see the difference between a mica sheet (washer) and
plastic by looking where it extends from under the transistor. Replace all plastic
insulators as they eventually fail. 

11. Diodes (IN4001) diode is a device that allows current to flow in

one direction and usully made with semiconductor materials. It has two
terminals, anode and cathode terminals. These are mostly used in converting
circuits like AC to DC circuits. These are different types like PIN diodes,
Zener diode, LEDS, photo diodes.

12. LED A Light Emitting Diode – or LED for short – is a

component that can give light. We use LEDs to give a visual
feedback from our circuit. For example to show that the circuit has
power. But, you can also used them to make cool light-show
circuits. You see these components everywhere: In your laptop, on
your mobile phone, on your camera, in your car +++ And you can
find many different types of LEDs. A very common circuit to build
as a beginner is the blinking light circuit.

15. Inductor it’s just a coil of wire – and you can

make one yourself by making some loops out of a wire.
Sometimes they’re wound around a metal core of some sort.
They are often used in filters. I rarely use one actually, but
when I wrote that in my article “What is an inductor?” a
friend of mine reacted. See his response at the end of that
article.

16. Integrated Circuit An Integrated Circuit

(IC) consists of many basic electronic components. It’s just an
electronic circuit that has been shrunk to fit inside a chip.

1. Select the proper drill bit for the material you are drilling. Metal and wood usually
can use the same type of drill bit, but masonry bits have a very special design.
2. Put on eye protection. Hold the drill with both hands perpendicular to the hole
you want to drill.
3. Push the drill into the material using gentle pressure
4. If the drill is going into wood, you may need to pull the drill out periodically as
the drill bit will probably clog. By pulling the drill bit partially out of the work
while the bit is turning, it will self-clean.
5. If the drill bit does clog (usually from pressing too hard and too fast), then pull the
bit out and clean the clog out with a hard material such as a screwdriver or nail.

 6. Drilling through metal can be tricky. The bit may bind as it cuts through the other
side, if this happen release trigger pressure immediately. Pull the bit back and
slowly complete the cut. Here it is handy to have a reverse feature especially if the
bit gets stuck when it binds.
7. Once the drill penetrates the material you're done.
