Electrical Installation and Maintenance-Grade 12

First Quarter – Week 1

Topic: Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required competency and the source of
information for you to acquire knowledge and skills in Indentify, Control Hazard and Risk with
minimum supervision or help from your parent/guardian/teacher. With the aid of this material, you
will acquire the competency independently at your own pace.

This module consists of one (1) Learning Outcome (LO’s) that contains learning activities
for both knowledge and skills supported with information sheets. Work through all the information
and complete the activities in each section. Read all information sheets and complete all the
activities given, suggested references are included to supplement the materials provided in this
module.

Learning Outcome:

At the end of this module, you will be able to;

1. List down hazards and risks in the workplace.

2. Determine effects of hazards and risks.

3. Evaluate hazards and risks.

4. Follow procedure for controlling hazards and risks in the workplace.

I. TRUE or FALSE: Write T if the statement is correct and F if the statement is wrong.
Write your answer on the space provided.
__________1. Small amount of current can kill you?
__________2. Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged
particles such as electrons or protons, either statically as an accumulation of charge or
dynamically as a current.
__________3. Alternating current (AC) is usually lower amount of voltage?
__________4. Direct Current (DC) is usually the higher amount voltage?
__________5. The electrical distribution company distribute direct current in the
community

Brief Introduction
Safety is everyone priority in all workplace, therefore everyone must follow the safety rules
and regulation in a workplace specially when dealing with electricity. Safety precautions is a must.

“THINK FIRST”
This rule always applies to all industrial work as well as electrical workers. Develop a good
habit of workmanship. These are generally three kinds of accidents, which appear all too
frequently among electrical students and technicians. You’re studying about them and observing
simple rules will make you a safe person to work with. You could personally be saved from painful
and expensive experiences – you might be saved to live rewarding retirement age.
Safety is simply a matter of applying common sense precautions. The rules of safety are
concerned with the prevention of accident injury. First aid involves the treatment of injuries
sustained when an accident occurs.
The general rules of shop safety apply equally the electrical-electronics laboratory.
The following shop safety rules should always be observed.
1. Don’t clown around or engage in horseplay –many painful injuries are caused by
the careless and thoughtless antics of the “clown”
2. Get your teacher’s approval before starting your work –this will save your time and
help prevent accidents. Remember, your teacher is there to help.
3. Report all injuries at once -even the slightest. A small cut can develop a serious
complication if not properly treated.
4. Wear safety glasses –when grinding or working in areas where sparks or chips of
metal are flying. Your eyes are a priceless possession.
5. Keep the floor around your working area clean and free from litter –which might
cause someone to slip or stumble.
6. Use tools correctly – do not used them if there are not in proper working conditions.
And used appropriate tools for specific job.
7. Observe the proper methods of handling and lifting objects –get help to lift heavy
objects.
8. Do not talk or disturb a fellow student –when he operating machine.
9. Never leave a machine while it I running or running down –stay with it until it stops
completely.

Probably the best advice anyone can follow when working with electricity is “THINK
PLAN AHEAD!!!”
The following are special safety rules for electrical-electronics laboratory:
1. Although the normal healthy person will encounter n dangerous voltage, while
performing the laboratory activity, circumstances occurs under which a surprising
electric shock may be experienced. Surprising shocks, while not particularly dangerous
in themselves, may cause secondary injury through violent muscular contraction that
can hurl a person against a wall or workbench or possibly another more dangerous
source of current.
2. Practice a precaution used by experienced engineers and technicians. Always keep
one hand in your pocket or behind you when measuring current and voltage. If two
hands are in with contact with the circuit, the current flows across the chest and heart
regions, which is very dangerous.
3. If in doubt, with regard to the wiring of the circuit, ask the teacher to check it out before
you apply power. Electricity has no respect for ignorance.
4. Make it a habit to short electrolytic or other large value capacitor with an insulated
screwdriver before attempting to work on a circuit. Capacitor can hold a charge for a
long time after the power is removed.
5. Know the location of fire extinguisher.
6. Certain components such as: resistors and vacuum tubes get quite hot while operating.
Give them time to cool off before attempting to remove them.
7. Do not work around electrical equipment if floors are damp or wet.
8. Do not work on electrical circuit while power is on.
9. Be sure equipment I in proper working order before use. Frayed power cords and
cracked or chipped plugs are major source of accidents.
10. Ask for instruction before using any item of test equipment for the first time. Even if you
think you know how to use it. A little knowledge can be dangerous thing; 7 and if
something can go wrong, it will. Test equipment is often expensive to repair.
11. Electricity – Electronics is a tremendous field and most of us do well to understand
small segment of it. Ask questions when in doubt. BE HUMBLE.
