 Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 9 Project CAP-LRE Alternative
Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Industrial Arts – Electrical Installation Maintenance - Identify
Hazards and Risks .
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from public
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:

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You also
need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their own learning.
Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks
included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 9 Project CAP-LRE Alternative
Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Industrial Arts – Electrical Installation Maintenance -
Identify Hazards and Risks.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for guided
and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process the
contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.
This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

 What is It
The idea about knowing the difference between hazards and risks is essential because
it prevents illnesses and accidents in the workplace.
.

HAZARDS AND RISKS

What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk'? Hazards is something that can cause
harm, like broken electric wire, chemicals misuse, noise and stress.

Risk is the chance or probability that a person may be harmed or experienced an adverse
health effects from an exposure to a particular hazard. It may also apply to situations in
property or equipment loss.

A risk is the chance maybe high or low, that any hazard can cause harm to anyone.

RISK

. HAZARD How great the chance

Anything that cause that someone will be
harm. harmed by the
hazard?

For example, working alone away from your office can be hazardous due to the risks of
car accidents which happened in different places. Working on electrical repair without proper
training is a hazard. For an instance, if someone accidentally turned on the power while other
is working, the worker may experience electric shock.

5
Five Basic Workplace Hazards

There are five major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety at
risk.

1. Chemical hazards
2. Physical hazards
3. Biological hazards
4. Ergonomic hazards or job-related hazards
5. Psychological hazards or stress

CHEMICAL HAZARDS

If you are working with cleaning products, bleaches,

paints, and other chemical agents, you need to
understand what a chemical hazard is as well as how to
protect yourself.

Chemical hazards include:

• liquids such a cleanser,
• acids, and paints
• vapors and fumes such as
• welding fumes
• gases such as carbon monoxide
• products that can catch fire or explode

PHYSICAL HAZARDS

The most normal occurrences in workplaces. They

are usually easy to detect, however, very often are
neglected because people are too accustomed to them.
Another reason may be due to lack of knowledge or
people do not see situations as hazards.

Physical hazards include:

• Machinery
• Electrical power
• Noise
• Power and hand tools
• Working and walking surfaces
• Trip and fall hazards
• Ladders and scaffolds
• Heat and cold
• Ventilation

6
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

Why should be careful around ticks, mouse

droppings, bird poop and wild animals? Because you
might get sick from working around certain animals,
including people. Biological hazards include bacteria,
viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and humans.
The risks run from skin irritation and allergies to
infections.

Dangers can come from:

• unclean restrooms
• mold and fungus
• bacteria
• insect stings
• animal bites
• poorly stored medical waste

ERGONOMIC HAZARDS

If your job is poorly designed, you can develop long

term health problems. These problems can arise from
simple things, like working for long periods in an
awkward position or having the same position over and
over again.

Problems can come from:

• fighting
• chairs
• lifting
• repeated movements
• computer screens

PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS

Those that are basically causing stress to a worker.

This kind of hazard troubles an individual very much to
an extent that his general well-being is affected Stress
can lead to long-term health problems. Headaches,
anxiety, and impatience are early signs of stress.

Workplace causes of stress include:

• heavy workloads
• lack of control over the pace of work
• shift work
• noise
• working by yourself
• fear of job-loss
• conflict with the employer

 What are the examples of hazards?

Workplace Hazards Example of Hazards Example of Harm

Cause
1. Thing Knife Cut
2. Substance Paint Allergy
3. Living thing Animal Bite
4. Material Asbestos Mesothelioma
5. Disaster Flood Loss property
6. Source of energy Electricity Shock, Electrocution
7. Condition Slippery floor Slips, Falls
8. Process Welding Metal fume fever
9. Practice Hard rock mining Silicosis
10. Disease Virus Loss of life

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE

One of the most dangerous among the hazards is chemical hazard. Chemical may
produce reactions that may endanger one’s health and life. This is the reason why the
American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) established a threshold limit value
(TLV).
TLV is the term used by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists
(ACGIH*) to express the airborne concentration of a material to which nearly all persons can
be exposed day after day, without adverse health effects
