LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

TOPIC: Receiving and Inspecting Freight Shipments
Background Information for Learners
One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the company’s
supplies, materials and anything that the company needs. But his duty does not end in just purchasing
but also in receiving the deliveries of what he purchased.
In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right materials and
supplies were delivered and all in good condition without defects.

A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following questions:
1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and address. If your
agency has more than one location, make sure the goods are for this exact address. Check
the freight to see if it is the same as described on the delivery receipt. Look at the label on
each item to make sure the shipment belongs to you.

2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage. Check for holes,
water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can. Check for rattling. Listen for
something broken inside. Check to see if any package has been opened or if the sealing
tape has been tampered with

3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number on the delivery receipt
to the number you have counted. If the shipment is on a pallet, check to make sure the
pallet is solid with no voids inside the stack. If the shipment is shrink or stretch wrapped,
make sure the wrap hasn't been cut and pieces removed. Sign only for the type of unit you
receive. For example: two pallets. Don't sign for the number of packages that are supposed
to be on the pallet. However, if time permits or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped,
count the packages, and only then sign for the number of packages.

B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following.

1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the terms specified by your
agency, or is damaged to the point where it no longer has a value.
2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note exceptions on the Delivery
receipt.
C. How to note exceptions:
1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately. Pinpoint the locations of
all defects. If you can see the damage, have the driver wait while you open and inspect the

16
 packages. Write down the number and identity of the damaged pieces. This is called a
"joint inventory."

2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number of pieces actually
delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then write down the number of pieces
missing and note them as "short."

3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt. Have the
driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full name (not initials or nicknames).
After the driver signs, you sign also. Write your agency's name, your full name, the date,
and the time of day.

D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection:

1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to inspect the damaged goods
and packaging. The formal request should be made by phone right after discovering any
loss or damage.

2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier in writing. Note the
date and time of your previous phone call and the person contacted. Keep a copy of your
request letter on file.

3. Once contacted about damage or shortage, the carrier may waive inspection and tell you so.
If so, write down the name of the person who waived the inspection, and the date and time
of waiver. Then conduct your own detailed inspection. Write up your findings in a report
and attach it to the file. If you can, take photographs to confirm your inspection report.

TOPIC: Measuring Tools and Instruments
Background Information for Learners
Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical quantity, such
as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such as the meter, second or degree
Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology.
The English word measurement originates from the Latin mēnsūra and the verbmetiri
through the Middle French mesure.
Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so extra care is necessary
in handling them. These are used to measure currents, voltages, resistances, wattages and other
important elements in electrical works. This topic, will tackle the function/use of each measuring tool
and instrument used in doing a electrical task. Different kinds of measuring tools and precision
measuring instruments are as follows:
1.
Measuring tool/instrument Description

Test Light is a pocket size tool used to test the

line wire or circuit if there is current in it.

Micrometer is used to measure the diameter of

wires/conductors in circular mils. It can
measure small and big sizes of wires and
cables.

19
Wire Gauge is used in determining the size of
wires/conductors. The gauge ranges from 0 to
60 awg (American wire gauge).

Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool used to

measure length, width and thickness of
short flat object and in sketching straight lines.

A ruler/rule is a tool used in,

for example, geometry, technical drawing,
engineering, and carpentry, to measure lengths
or distances or to draw straight lines. Strictly
speaking, the ruler is the instrument used
to rule straight lines and the
calibrated instrument used for determining
length called a measure. However, common
usage calls both instruments rulers and
the special name straight edge is used
for an unmarked rule.

Pull-Push Rule is a measuring tool used to

measure the length of an object in centimeter
and inches.

Ammeter is an instrument used to measure the

amount of electrical current intensity in a
circuit. The unit of measure is ampere (a). It is
connected along or series to the circuit.

20
 Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure
electrical pressure or voltage of a circuit. The
unit of measure is volt (v). This is connected
across or parallel to the circuit.

Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-tester. It is

used to measure current flowing in a conductor.
It is clamped or hanged in a conductor.

Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) otherwise called as

Multi-tester; is used to measure the voltage,
resistance and current of a circuit. It is
connected in parallel or series with the circuit
depending on what to measure.

milliammeter). It is the best instrument that can measure voltage, resistance and current. It
is generally made of two types: the analog and the digital.

A. PARTS OF A MULTI TESTER

POINTER. The needle-shaped rod that

moves over the scale of a meter. It is
mechanically connected to the moving
coil. it indicates the measured values on
the multimeter.

27
 Adjustment screw makes it possible to adjust the
pointer to the zero position of the scale.

RANGE SELECTOR KNOB (Selector switch)

makes it possible to select different functions and
range of the meter.

28
 SCALE is a series of marking used for reading the
value of a quantity. Can have different types
of scale, voltage and current reading the
scales have mostly linear which means equal
division.

Zero-Ohm Adjusting Knob is used to zero-in the

pointer before measuring resistance.

Test probe positive (red), negative (black) is used to

connect the circuit to the electrical component being
tested.

A. 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.

B. How to read the meter scale of the multi tester

To read the resistance range of the multi-tester, the given table below will be used.
The unit of measurement to be used to determine its resistance is ohm.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETSTOPIC: Electrical Wiring Diagram

Background Information for Learners

The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented by diagram. There are
two types of diagram: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram.
A. 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.

B. 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.

42
 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.

C. 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.

Pictorial diagram of Christmas light in series circuit

Schematic diagram of three bulbs connected in series controlled by a single pole

switch.

43
 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.

Pictorial diagram of two bulbs connected in parallel circuit controlled by a

single pole switch.

Schematic diagram of three bulbs connected in parallel circuit controlled by a

single pole switch.

ELECTRICAL
PLAN

Electrical plan is a graphical presentation of electrical wiring connections to install in

a particular house or building. It indicates the position of electrical fixtures such as
convenience outlets, switches, lightings, door bells, and others to be installed.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETSTOPIC: Classification of Tools and Equipment
Background Information for Learners
A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but that is not
consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand thus increasing
speed, power, and accuracy and on t h e other hands equipment includes any machine powered by
electricity.

1. Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical energy such as:
puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.
2. Machine/Power tools are tools manipulated by our hands and with the use of electrical
energy such as: electric drill, grinding wheels, vacuum cleaner and others.
3. Pneumatic t o o l s are tools or instruments activated by air pressure. Pneumatic
tools are designed around three basic devices: the air cylinder, the vane motor, and the
sprayer
A. Hand tools
They include screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, wrenches and pullers.
1. Screwdrivers are used to drive, or turn screws. The common type has a single flat blade
for driving screws with slotted heads. The other type has the cross slotted head.

1. Hammers are mostly used tools in the shop. They should be gripped at the end of the
handle.
2. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a pivot so that items
of various sizes can be gripped.
3. Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts and bolts with hexagonal heads. ―Hexagonal‖
means six-sided. A variety of wrenches are used in the shop.
4. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from blind holes, and
cylinders’ liners from the engine blocks.

B. Machine/Power Tools
1. Electric drill has an electric motor that drives a chuck. The chuck has jaws that can be
opened and then closed to grip a drill kit.

48
2. Grinding tool can be either bench-mounted or installed on a pedestal. They may either
have a grinding wheel, view wheel, or two grinding wheels.

3. Vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning the floor and car interiors after service.

C. Pneumatic tools
1. Pneumatic Torque Wrench. This wrench uses compressed air to quickly and powerfully turn
nuts, bolts, and other objects.

2. Air chisel uses reciprocating motion to drive a cutting hammering tool. An air hammer drives
a chisel to cut off a nut that has frozen to a stud. It can be used with a variety of tools-cutters
and punches to do many jobs.

49
3. Air drill is lighter than a comparable electric drill. Repeatedly stalling or overloading
does not damage or overheat the air drill.

4. Air racket uses the sockets and attachments from a standard socket set.

5. Pneumatic floor jack uses compressed air to flow into the jack cylinder and causes the ram
to extend and raise the vehicle.

Basic Maintenance of Electrical Tools and Equipment

To ensure that your electric tools work when you need them, you must take proper care of
them. A good routine of maintenance for your tools is one thing that you can do to make sure
that the tool you need is working when you need it.

1. Clean out the Dust. To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you are, keep
them clean and free of dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every once in a
while on your tools while they are inactive in storage.

2. Check the Cords. Look for tear/cut insulator on the power cords on your electric tools.

50
 This will ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function
without an accident.

3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow the safety
directions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer. When working on a circuit,
use approved tools with insulated hand.

4.Protect your Tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. These hazards
can damage insulation. If a tool or cord heats up, stop using it. Report the condition to a supervisor
or instructor immediately.

5. Use double-insulated tools - Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of
insulation barriers between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker.

51
 6. Storing Your Tools- Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and
containers. This will keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used.

Note: proper care of your electric tools is the key to making sure that they last for
many years
B. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are gadgets to protect workers from injury or illness caused by
having contact with the dangers/hazards in the workplace whether they are chemical, biological,
radiation, physical, electrical, mechanical and others.

These are the common Personal Protective Equipment gadgets:

Hard Hats/ Helmets Gloves

Goggle Mask Work boots Pants

52
 Pictures of electricians working using Personal Protective Equipment

Pictures of Linemen’s working using Personal Protective Equipment

REMEMBER
1. Personal protective equipment should be taken cared as of the other tools and
equipment. Wipe your helmets, gloves, safety shoes before keeping it.
2. It should also be cleaned, kept in proper tool rack/ cabinet.
3. It should be stored in dry places so that it will not have mold build-up.
4. Over-all suites should be washed regularly so that perspirations and other dirt will be
washed clean.

C. Classification of non-functional and functional tools

Tools are very useful to us in our homes especially to our job. But tools that are no longer
functional may cause harm.

A. Make an inventory of functional and non-functional tools in your shop.

B. Classify your tools according to is function.

 Method 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 occurs 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.

 Classifications of tools and equipment according to their uses:

1. Measuring tools
2. Holding tools
3. Cutting tools
 4. Driving tools
5. Boring tools
6. Electrical equipment
7. Miscellaneous tools/instrument/equipment 53

Non-functional tools and equipment are those that are not able to perform its regular function
because of impaired and damage part. Examples of these are the following:

Hammer with a broken handle

Screw driver with a broken handle

Long Nose Pliers with

damage jaw

A broken/cut foot rule

Electrical equipment with damage cord

54
Functional tools and equipment are those that are in good condition and can perform its
regular functions. Examples of these are the following:

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

TOPIC: Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment

Background Information for Leaers

The most significant point to think at the start of your career is to acquire branded
tools. They must be made out of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special
consideration is given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and
prevent loses. Since the technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of
tools/equipment is very significant.

The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying warranty
guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long run, to start with a few
cautiously selected tools that will take care of your most common needs and then slowly build-up
to a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and memorize the huge number of tools and
equipment in the workshop, maintaining the inventory record is of great value.

Maintaining and Storing Tools & Equipment

An important aspect of any business is the maintenance and storage of tools and equipment.
The investment in tools and equipment is a significant part of the overhead expenses in any
