Introductory Message
For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TVL 11 Self-Learning Module (SLM) on Identify housekeeping

according to safety regulations for staging formwork components!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

 What is It

A carpenter builds or repairs various structures, working primarily with wood.

Some of a carpenter’s main duties must conform to building codes and other
regulations and clean or maintain various equipment and tools in order to avoid
imminent occupational hazards. Keeping your tools, equipment and the work area
clean is a manifestation that you are keeping in mind “SAFETY FIRST” rule.

There are the obvious reasons why workplace safety should be our priority. To avoid
Injury and Death are two main reasons why safety in the workplace should be
prioritized. Improved safety training and awareness can help save lives and reduce
injury. Aside from the two mentioned effects of unsafe workplace, it can also damage
property, less productivity, efficiency and quality.

Material Handling Safety during Staging Formworks

Components

Handling materials is a daily function in the workplace. All too often it is a

task taken for granted, without realizing that this may cause harm and other
consequences if done incorrectly.

A. Power Lifting

Protect Yourself
• Use the correct hand protection; wear gloves to prevent cuts.
• Wear safety shoes to prevent injury to your feet from a dropped item.

Size up the load

• Determine if you can carry a load comfortably; tip it on its side.
• Get help if the load is too big or bulky for one person.
• Check for nails, splinters, rough strapping, and rough edges.

Lift It Right
• Make sure your footing is solid.
• Keep your back straight, with no curving or slouching.
• Center your body over your feet.
• Get a good grasp on the object and pull it close to you.

7
 • Left with your legs, not your back.
• More your feet to turn. Don’t twist your back.

B. Tough Lifting Jobs

Oversized Loads
• Don’t try to carry a big load alone. Ask for help.
• Work as a team. Lift, walk, and lower the load together.
• Let one person give the directions and direct the lift.

High Load
• Use a step stool or a sturdy ladder to reach loads that are above your
shoulders.
• Get as close as you can to the load.
• Slide the load toward you.
• Do all the work with your arms and legs, not your back.

Low Loads
• Loads that are under racks and cabinets need extra care.
• Pull the load toward you, and then try to support it on your knee before you
lift.
• Use your legs to power the lift.

C. Power Carrying Tips

Your Checklist
• Make sure your footing is firm.
• Ensure enough clearance at doorways to keep your hands and fingers safe.
• Check your route for hazards.
• Take extra care at platforms, loading docks, ramps, and stairs.
• Carry long loads on your shoulders, with front end high.
• Make sure the next person has a firm grip before you hand off the load.
• When you carry with others, everyone should carry the load on the same
shoulder, walk in step, and put the load down as a team.

Back Safety Tips

• Wear the right personal protective equipment for lifting and carrying.
• Lift with your legs, not your back; pivot, don’t twist.
• Get help with tough lifting jobs.
• Spend a few minutes each day before work on power warm-ups.
• Exercise regularly to keep your back strong and healthy.
• Eat right, stay slender, and cut down on stress to avoid back injuries.

D. Move Tips
1. Be aware of your own tools around. There are tools with sharp edges and blades
2. Beware of falling debris from installed formworks.
