 What is It

What is planning?
Planning, as defined in the dictionary, 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, lets one project the possible scenarios that may arise (such as loose 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.

A GUIDE TO PLAN PREPARATION

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 is 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 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.

Safety and Risk - An emergency situation does absolve 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.

LIST OF TASKS TO BE UNDERTAKEN
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"

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
TIME SCHEDULING SUGGESTIONS

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. (sample only)

 Lesson

2 PREPARE HAND TOOLS

Before you do any repair work on your PC—in fact, before you even think
about taking off the cover of your computer we recommend that you furnish yourself
with a computer tool kit. In computer application, the usage of proper hand tools
and equipment is very essential. A good troubleshooter must be knowledgeable in
the tools and equipment.

What’s In

In the past lesson you learn about plan and prepare for tasks to be
undertaken. The next lesson will help you in preparing hand tools that will be used
in performing work plans.

 What is It

To complete hardware repairs, it is important to have a toolkit that should contain

all of the necessary tools. As you gain experience, you will learn which tools to have
available for different types of jobs. Hardware tools are grouped into these four
categories:

• Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) tools

• Hand Tools
• Cleaning Tools
• Diagnostic Tools

Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools

Static electricity is easily generated by friction on carpets, tile flooring,
clothing, hair, fabric, and etc. The friction of moving air alone will charge
suspended particles and cause the build-up of static electrical charges on
people and objects in the environment. Grounded antistatic work mats used
with antistatic wrist straps provide the most basic means for the controlled
discharge of electrostatic electricity.

Examples of ESD Tools:

Anti-static wrist strap – Used to

prevent ESD damage to computer
equipment.

a34fe70beb80.jpg

Anti-static Mat – Used to stand on or

place hardware on to prevent static
electricity from building up.

https://i.stack.imgur.com/eNEiE.jpg

7
Proper Use of ESD Tools
Proper Use of Antistatic Wrist Strap
1. Connect the cable to the metal chassis of the computer.
2. Wrap the strap around your wrist.
3. The connection will keep your body at the same voltage (potential) as the
computer.
4. Attach the wire on the same side of the equipment as the arm wearing the
antistatic wrist strap to keep the wire out of the way while you are working.

CAUTION: Never wear an antistatic wrist strap if you are repairing a monitor or
CRT.

Proper Use of Antistatic Mat

1. Lay the computer on the mat.
2. Connect the computer to the mat with the cable.
3. Connect the mat to a reliable electrical ground with its cable.
4. Now, you and the computer are at ground potential

Hand Tools

A hand tool is a device for performing work on a material or a physical system

using only hands. Hand tools can be used manually or electrically powered, using
electrical current. Examples of Hand Tools are as follows:

UNSAFE OR FAULTY 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 (PPE):

• The type of PPE needed when using tools depends on the nature of the work.
• The use of hand protection may also be appropriate to provide protection
against cuts, abrasion, and repeated impact.

Do’s and Don’ts 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.
• 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.
