Information Sheet 2.1.1

Plan Preparation
Planning is an act of formulating a specific system for a
definite course of action.
It is a very essential part of
whatever task there is that needs to be undertaken as it aids
one in preparing for the tools/ materials to be used and lets
one project the possible scenarios that may arise (such as lose
or damage to the tools).
This lesson aims to discuss the proper steps in planning and preparing for
the specific tasks to be undertaken.
Planning is a process of preparing for change and development and for
deciding how to best manage or influence those changes. Planning is also
directed at resolving specific problem issues or conflicts.
The Policy background to Plan Preparation

Assessment- Students need to be aware of internal and external

risk factors and the consequences of any damage/ failure on their
hand tools.
Prevention- The student should identify which hand tools are
damaged.
Preparation of plans- A plan will be required to be realistic,
flexible and meet all the assessed needs of a student at the same
time the hand tools itself and the likely needs of recipients of the
emergency response.
Education- Anyone involved to any extent in an emergency plan
should be aware of his role and be given the opportunity to practice
actually doing it.
Testing / Exercising- Any plan must be tested to ensure that it
encompasses all the outcomes of known or reasonably foreseeable
risks and that it would be effective in providing a sufficient and
timely response.
Review- There are a number of circumstances in which a plan may
need to be reviewed. Following any test of a plan, or its use in an

PC HARDWARE SERVICING
The Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program

3|Page

emergency situation, it is important to analyze whether the planned

response was fully effective.
Response- The student should respond to incidents as part of their
core activities. Others may only very occasionally be asked to
provide an emergency response.

Information Sheet 2.1.2

Selection of Tools According to Task Requirements
An emergency situation does free teachers and students from their
responsibilities, for their health and safety. All emergency plans should
therefore take account of the need to maintain the highest possible
standards of safety.

Most efforts to develop identification aids start and end with the
recognition key and its computer spin-offs. There are many other
identification tasks, starting with the most commonly used: instant
recognition. Here is a preliminary list of identification tasks:
Each is briefly described below, including a definition taken from
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
Recognition
"The identification of something as being of a certain kind"
Elimination
"To leave out of consideration"

PC HARDWARE SERVICING
The Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program

4|Page

Comparison
"The act of considering the relation between things in order to
estimate their similarities or differences"
Selection
"To choose in preference of others"
Selection is the opposite of elimination.

Information Sheet 2.1.3

Selection of Tools According to Task Requirements
Time Scheduling
Time scheduling will not make you a perfectly efficient person. Very
few people can rigorously keep a detailed schedule day after day over a
long period of time. In fact, many students who draw up a study schedule
and find themselves unable to stick to it become impatient and often give
up the scheduling idea completely.
The following method of organizing time has been helpful to many
students and does not take much time. It is more flexible than many
methods and helps the student to establish long term, intermediate and
short term time goals.
Intermediate Schedule - One per week
CARRY THIS CARD WITH YOU and cross out each item as you
accomplish it. Writing down things in this manner not only forces you to
plan your time but in effect causes you to make a promise to yourself to
do what you have written down

Unsafe or Faulty Hand Tools

Hand Tools include a wide variety of non-powered devices such as
wrenches, pliers, hammers, and screwdrivers. These tools may seem
harmless, but they are the cause of many injuries. The Following are the
summary of safety practices related to hand tools.
General hazards:

The two most common hazards associated with the use of Hand
Tools are misuse and improper maintenance.
Misuse occurs when a hand tool is used for something other than its
intended purpose. (An example would be using screwdriver as a
chisel. This may cause the tip to break and strike someone).
Improper maintenance allows hand tools to deteriorate into an
unsafe condition. (Example would include cracked wooden handles
that allow the tool head to fly off or mushroomed heads that can
shatter upon impact.
Specially designed tools may be needed in hazardous environments.
(Always use non-sparking tools in the presence of flammable vapors
and dusts. Insulated tools with appropriate ratings must be used for
electrical work).

Personal Protective Equipment:

The type of PPE needed when using tools depends on the nature of
the task. At a minimum, eye protection should always be worn.
The use of hand protection may also be appropriate to provide
protection against cuts, abrasion, and repeated impact.

Dos and Donts in Using Hand Tools

Pliers:
Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage.
Use a larger pair of pliers or bolt cutters.
Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts.
Pliers cannot grip these items properly and will slip.
Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to
result in cracks or breaks.

PC HARDWARE SERVICING
The Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program

11 | P a g e

Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose.
Always cut a right angle. Never rock from side to side or bend wire
back and forth against the cutting edges.
Screwdrivers:

Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or

scraper.
Always use screwdriver tip that properly fits the slot of the screw.
Throw away screwdrivers with broken or worn handles.
Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to start fasteners in
tight areas.
Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use
wrench or screwdrivers specifically designed to accept them.

Utility Knives/ Blades:

Always use a sharp blade. Dull blades require more force and thus
are more likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to tear
instead of cut.
Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed. Consider
using a self-retracted knife with a spring-loaded black. (The blade
will retract when pressure as the knife is released.
Keep your free hand away from the line of the cut.
Dont bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans
or pay loose objects. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.

Information Sheet 2.4.1

Maintain Hand Tools
To avoid accidents in the work place resulting from the
incorrect use of hand tools, it will be important that you understand
the proper use of your items. Have your group discuss your
concerns about the dangers involved in using hand tools. During
the discussion, each member is reminded of correct methods in
manipulating hand tools. During the session, every member practices the
correct methods in manipulating hand tools. It is important that everyone
has an opportunity to use tools in the practice session.

Proper Use, Maintenance and Storage Tools

The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most
school safety programs. An understanding of the hand tools intended use
and environment, combined with proper tool selection, maintenance and
storage, will greatly reduce the risk of harmful accidents.
The

following

are

common-sense

guidelines

for

Tool

Use,

Maintenance and Storage:

Keep hand tools clean and free from ferrous or other contaminants.

Do not use hand tools in direct contact with acetylene, due to the
possible formation of explosive acetyl ides, especially in the
presence of moisture.

During normal use, all pliers and screwdrivers will progressively

develop some damage to the striking faces of screwdrivers or the
cutting edge and striking end of pliers. As part of the normal
operating and safety procedures, these tools should be returned to
the workshop, as with steel tools, to have the faces and heads
redressed. This is essential to prevent eye damage resulting from
chips detaching from the item during use.

Do not hand tools fitted with wooden handles in places where

the handles may dry out and shrink. This will increase the
risk of the handle breaking or the head becoming loose.

Tools are designed for specific use. As with any tool. In addition to
the probability that the tool will be damaged, this is a dangerous
practice for the safety of the operator.

The accepted standards of safety and maintenance for common steel

hand tools must also be adopted with non-sparking hand tools, in
addition to any specific recommendations resulting from the alloys
used.

Poi

When sharpening hand tools, follow normal safety procedures,

such as the provision of eye and face protection, adequate

extraction and dust collecting facilities.

Clean tools and equipment work more efficiently. At the end of each
working day clean the tools and equipment you used and check them for
any damage. If you note and damage, tag the tool as faulty and organize a
repair or replacement.

Electrical current can travel over oily or greasy surfaces. Keep

electrical power hand tools free from dust and dirt and make sure
they are free of oil and grease.

All workshop hand tools and equipment should have

maintenance schedule.
Always complete the tasks
described on the schedule at the required time. This will help to
keep the hand tools in safe working order.

Stores commonly used hand tools in an easy-to-reach location. If a tool or

a piece is too difficult to return, it could be left on a workbench or on the
