1 Storing Materials

What’s New

Try this activity before moving to the new lesson.

Activity 1

Directions: Answer the questions below. Write your answers on the activity notebook.

1. In your observation at home, how did your parents store the garden tools/
equipment, PPE, hazardous, flammable materials, etc.?
2. How will you store your things at home like personal belongings?
3. Did you follow some ways in keeping and storing them? Yes or No. Let us know
your answers. Write at least three (3) of them using the diagram below. Write your
answers in the activity notebook.

What Is It

Housekeeping is not merely cleanliness. It is also keeping work areas neat and
orderly by storing materials, checking the PPE, and keeping records, maintaining halls
and floors free of slip and trip hazards, and removing of waste materials. Effective
housekeeping ease the flow of materials and improve productivity because tools and
materials are easy to find.

Importance of Storing Materials Properly

Storing of materials properly reduce the risk of accidents because they are
organized. Returning tools promptly after use also reduces the chance of being
misplaced or lost. Making sure that tools are properly stored, cleaned and well
maintained, saves time and money and makes your job easy to do/ accomplish.

Therefore, workers should regularly inspect, clean and repair all tools and
take any damaged or worn-out tools to avoid accident and danger.

Steps in Storing Materials Properly

1. Assign a portion of your garage, shed or basement closet as a place to

store tools. Allocate plastic bins to store smaller farm tools and equipment.

2. Clean out dirt and debris from tools. Set up racks, mount racks along the
wall of your garage or storage area to hang garden tools, cords and other
equipment.

3. Create and designate a library area or bin within the storage space for user
manuals and warranty sheets, and store booklets alphabetically and in a
dry area as reference in operating the equipment and others.

4. Flammable gases are to be kept in a separate, well-ventilated area.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Association, gasoline and
kerosene must be stored in approved containers located away from other
flammable materials. These can be stored only in a specially constructed
room that is able to contain a fire for one to two hours and keep flammable
materials 50 feet away from sources of heat or flame.

5. For chemicals and other hazardous materials including cleaning materials,

should be kept in their original containers or in properly labeled containers
away from the reach of children.

Do Periodic Maintenance Storage Areas

1. Look for problems inside each storage area on a regular basis. Be sure
there are no apparent fumes.
2. Use a separate broom and dustpan for chemical cleanup. Be sure to lock
these tools away when you are not using them.

Checking Personal
2 Protective Equipment

What’s New

Activity 1. Let Me Know

Directions: Think of some farm PPE’s and tell what part of the body the equipment
protect. Follow the table below. Write your answers on the activity notebook.

Farm PPE Part of the Body Protected by PPE

What Is It

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

It is any device designed to be used by an individual in a workplace. The purpose

is to reduce exposure from hazards and risks. PPE should regularly examine by expert
staff according to manufacturer’s instructions. Simple check-up may be carried out by the
user, provided that he or she has been instructed and trained.

The examination, maintenance and repair of PPE should be done regularly to

ensure functionality and avoid damage or worn out.

Storing also of PPE must be according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This is

very important because PPE parts are deteriorating due to exposure to dirt, oil, UV rays,
sunlight etc. Safety is the major concern for laborers and skilled laborers.

PPE includes items such as protective helmets, eye protection, high-visibility

clothing, safety footwear, safety harnesses, and sometimes, respiratory protective
equipment.
6
Lists of Basic PPE

1. Boots or Wellies: These will provide an extra layer of protection against falling
tools/ equipment or trampling by livestock.

2. Resistant Gloves: Protection against damage to the hands, these gloves do

offer an extra line of defense against cutting hazardous and sharp equipment and
dirt.

3. Hard Hats / Native Hats: These will offer protection from the sun, falling objects
and prevent head injuries caused by slips, trips, and falls from a height.

4. Safety Harnesses: During prolonged work at height (for instance, restocking a

loft, or repairing tall machinery, cutting branches of twigs), it is sensible to wear a
tethered safety harness to prevent falls.

5. Hearing Protection (Earmuffs): Farms can be noisy sometimes especially

farmer needs to cut some branches of trees using chainsaw.

6. Respirator: It is an apparatus worn over the mouth and nose or the entire face to
prevent the inhalation of dust, smoke, or other chemicals like pesticides during
spraying.

7. Safety Glasses: These are shields of the worker's eyes to prevent eye damage.
They block dirt, dust, debris, chemicals, or liquids from entering the eyes.
Glasses have lenses that provide visibility.

Commonly Used PPE When Working with Chemicals

PPE Protects Hazards

Safety Glasses eyes chemical liquid splashes, dust
Hard Hat head falling materials
Ear Protection hearing excessive noise
Gloves hands corrosives, toxic materials
Respirator lungs toxic gases, vapors, fumes or dust
Clothing skin toxic or corrosive materials
Footwear feet corrosive, toxic materials

Proper Care and Maintenance

The storage area for PPE should be clean, tidy, and organized. Stacking things on
top of each other should be avoided. Instead, utilize organizational tools like wall hooks
and shelves. By doing so, good housekeeping is being implemented.
7
Guidelines to Follow to Ensure functionality of Personal PPE

1. Look for broken or damaged components before using PPE.

2. Repair or replace if it is needed.
3. Replace PPE that has expired or reached its usable lifespan.
4. Clean reusable PPE after use and store in a clean area such as a cupboard, drawer
or resealable container.
5. Report broken, damaged or contaminated PPE.
