CARRY OUT MEASUREMENTS AND CALCULATIONS
A system of measurement is a set of units which can be used to specify 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 Decimeter
Centimeter Meter
B. English units and each equivalent
12 inches = foot(ft)
1 foot = 3yard (yd)
1 yard = 36 inches
C. Metric units and each equivalent
10millimeter (mm) = 1centimeter (cm)
10centimeter = 1decimeter(dm)
10 decimeter = 1meter
D. English to metric equivalent
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 foot = 30.48 cm
1 yard = 91.44 cm
E. The centimeter graduation

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.

ELECTRICAL SYMBOLS, SIGNS, DIAGRAMS AND PLAN
ELECTRICAL SYMBOL
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 to said fixture on an electrical
wiring diagram. These are very useful guide for an electrician or electrical contractor, thus,
making the wiring easier to install as well.
The following are common electrical symbols used in sketching wiring plan and diagram.
COMMON ELECTRICAL SYMBOL

ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM
The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented by diagram. There are two common types
of diagram pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.
1. 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
2. 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
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.
Figure 6 K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum Technology and Livelihood Education Learning Module
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.

CHECKING CONDITION OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
Check Conditions of Tools and Equipment
Tools are very useful to us in our homes especially to our job. But tools that are no
longer functional may cause harm.
● Functional tools and equipment are those that are in good condition
and can perform its regular functions.
● Non-functional tools and equipment are those that are not able to
perform its regular function because of impaired and damage part.
❖ Methods 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 occur 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.
TYPES AND USES OF LUBRICANTS

PRACTICE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES
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.
HAZARDS RISK
Anything that can cause A chance that a
harm person will be
harmed by the
hazards
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:
1.Liquids such a cleanser
2.Gases such as carbon monoxide
3.Vapours and fumes such as welding fumes
4.Products that can catch fire or explode acids, and paint
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
Physical hazards include:
1.machinery 5. electrical power
2.power and hand tools 6. noise
3.working and walking surfaces 7. trip and fall hazards
4.ladders and scaffolds 8. 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:
1.unclean restrooms 4. insect stings
2.mold and fungus 5. animal bites
3.bacteria 6. 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:
1.Lighting 4. Repeated movements
2.Chairs 5. Computer screens
3.Lifting
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:
1. heavy workloads 5. noise
2. working by yourself 6. shift work
3. conflict with the employee 7. fear of job-loss
4. lack of control over the pace of work
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.
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 to prevent ingesting contaminants. 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.
Source: K to 12 Basic Education Learning Module
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.
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
A basic first-aid facility
Source: K to 12 Basic Education Learning Module
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.
1. General cleanliness in the workplace is an important method of controlling hazards.
2. Good housekeeping reduces the risk of fire and is cost-effective.
3. Good housekeeping measures should be planned when work processes are in the design stage.
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 shower every day.
7. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent
bringing workplace contaminants home to your family.
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.
