Introductory Message

Welcome to TLE 7/8 - IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding)!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Bago City and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is
developed to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible
adults) in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) Activity Sheet will help you
facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and the
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease
the independent learning.

For the learner:

The TLE 7/8 - IA (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) Activity Sheet is developed
to help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material
provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being
an active learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the
activities and answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the
agreed schedule.

Controlling Hazards and Risks

I. Learning Competency:

LO 3. Control hazards and risks.

1.1 Demonstrate the use of PPE’s in the workplace
TLE_IAAW7/8OS-og-3
II. Background Information for Learners

Every workplace has hazards. In order to manage workplace health and

safety and to help prevent accidents, it’s important to identify, monitor and
reduce the risk associated with workplace hazards. Some hazards are more
likely to be present in some workplaces than others, depending on the work
that you do.

No metal workshop activities are worth pursuing if they cannot be done

safely. This activity will help you understand the importance of knowing and
identifying the different PPEs, its usage and functions. It is essential that you
acquire the proper work attitude to prevent accidents. Integrating them in
your work style, will let you discover, learn and see other things that you can
do to make the shop a safer place to work not only for you but for everybody.

Read and understand the key concepts presented below on the aftercare
activities for tools, equipment and paraphernalia:

4
 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The observation of health and safety precautions in welding operation is

of greatest importance.

Your life and that of the others are more important than the job you are
doing.

1. Welding shield/helmet is used to protect our face and eyes from the arc
rays and heat, and the spatter from molten metal. The arc is viewed through a
filter which reduces the intensity of radiation but allows a safe amount of light
to pass for viewing the weld pool and end of the electrode.

1.1 Helmet type welding shield is more convenient to use because it allows
both hands to work freely.

1.2 Hand-held shield allows only one hand to work freely.

5
 2. Leather jacket is made of chrome leather and prevents the entry of
sparks between our clothes and body.

3. Leather apron is made of chrome leather and provides a welder with

complete protection of his chest to mid-calf from sparks and hot metal.

4. Welding gloves/gauntlet is made of chrome leather and protects our

hands from heat, spatter, and radiations.

5.Face shield is best for general protection because it can be worn under an
arc welding helmet.

6
 6.Leggings are made from leather to protect the legs and feet.

7. Protective sleeves are made from leather to protect the arms.

8. Protective cover all are made from light asbestos coated with aluminum
to protect the whole-body during welding.

9. Welding cushions are made from leather for sitting and kneeling beside
the work piece as protection against cold.

10.Welding spats are made of chrome leather and protects our feet from
spatter.

7
 11. Safety Shoes- have heat resistant soles and impact resistant toes.
Some safety shoes have metal in soles, while others protect workers from
different types of electrical hazards.

12. Safety goggles- are used when grinding and chipping off slag.

13. Earmuffs- are used for ear coverings and are connected by a flexible
band and worn as protection against extreme noise.

14. Earplugs- is a pair of device that is meant to be inserted in the ear canal
to protect the wearer's ears from loud noise or intrusion

15. Respirators- is an apparatus worn over the mouth and nose or the entire
face to prevent the inhalation of dust, smoke, or other noxious substances.
