5. Follow the manufacturer's operating instructions carefully. Be sure to
understand the instructions before using the equipment. The worker
should consult his/her supervisor in case he/she does not understand the
instructions.
6. Follow a schedule of regular checkup of all equipment as part of a
preventive maintenance program. This saves money and time when the
equipment is always in good condition.
7. Do not allow the equipment to be exposed to water or wet surfaces unless
the equipment is intended for wet surfaces. Electric-operated equipment
may short-circuit when exposed to water. It can cause electric shock to the
worker operating it, more so when his/her hands are also wet.
How to Operate the Floor Polisher
1. Lay down the floor polisher on its side. Attach the brush by inserting it and
giving it a twist to lock. Stand the polisher on a dry, flat, and even flooring.
Check the attachment of the floor polisher brush if it holds firmly.
2. Plug in the electrical cord.

one another to secure the balance of the handle.
4. Tilt the handle to about 30°-40 angle.
5. With one hand, pull up the lever to operate the floor polisher. The lever is
usually found below the handle. The right side moves the floor polisher and
the left side slows it down or puts it to a full stop.
6. Hold the lever firmly as the floor polisher moves about the floor.
7. Guide the direction of cleaning by moving the handle in the
direction you want it to go.
• Never force the polisher to move at the direction and speed that
you want.
• Guide it gently but firmly as it moves about the floor.
8. To stop the floor polisher, release your hold of the lever and return
the handle to its straight position.
Procedure in the Operation of
Household Equipment
In operating electric-driven equipment, attention to detail is the best
Way to ensure that they are clean, in good condition, and ready to use. It
is important follow the usage and maintenance instructions from the

worker need. to check if the electrical cord is safely attached to the
equipment part, and if the electrical cords are not frayed or broken. A
worker should see if his/her hands are dry before attempting to put the
plug into the electrical socket.
Processes Involved in Cleaning and
Maintaining Floors
The following are processes to remember when cleaning and maintaining
floors:
1. Sweeping - This is removing dirt and trash on the floor using a
sweeper (broom).
2. Dust mopping - This means removing dirt on the floor using a
mop. In dust mopping a clean, dry mop is moved back and forth
horizontally or across the floor.
3. Damp mopping - This is cleaning and wiping the floor with a
lightly wet mop to remove remaining dirt and soil from the floor.
4. Spray buffing -This is spraying the floor with a buff finishing to
polish and keep the gloss of the floor.
5. Plain polishing This is retouching the shine of the floor by
polishing it with a floor polisher. When the floor is clean and shiny or
glossy, it does not need to undergo stripping and sealing.
6. Floor stripping This is removing stubborn dirt and wax
sticking on corners, sides, and other parts of the floor; this is done by
applying a stripping solution.
7. Finishing floors -This is the process that comes after stripping
and sealing the floors. It gives the floor a clean, neat, and glossy look.
8. Wet mopping - This is cleaning the floor from sticking dirt and
soil using a very wet mop. The water loosens the soil on the floor and
eventually sweeps it away with the mop. Wet mopping is applicable on
concrete floors, and floors made of tiles, vinyl, granite marble, and even
charred wood.
9. Scrubbing - This is a process similar to floor polishing, except that
in this process, a scrubber like a coconut husk or a similar floor
scrubber is used instead of floor polisher. Scrubbing is done after the
application of floor wax. The floor wax comes in paste or in liquid form.
10.Vacuuming This is the process of using a vacuum cleaner to
suck hidden or embedded dirt on corners, sides, and surfaces of the
floor. This process is most appropriate in cleaning carpeted floors
because the dirt is embedded between the carpet fibers which cannot
be removed with an ordinary sweeper

Remember: Always post a "Wet Floor" signage in front of the working

area to avoid accidents and the unnecessary loitering of people.

Preventive Measures to Avoid the
Spread of Common Diseases
Individual and community measures must be employed to tackle
the problem of disease spread. They are necessary so that the people
can cooperate in the uplifting of health and populace.
The possibility of preventing diseases must be faced jointly,
realistically, and intelligently. After acquiring some information
about communicable and non-communicable diseases, everybody
must help implement some preventive and control measures against
diseases so that citizens can function optimally for happier
and more useful life.
For individuals
Take well-balanced meals, which include the three basic food
groups.
Exercise daily or at least three times a week.
Have adequate rest and sleep.
Breathe fresh air as much as possible.
Need the call of nature in terms of body elimination.
Maintain body cleanliness through soap and water baths and
brushing or teeth after meals.
Avoid exposure to extreme temperature. Wear appropriate clothes for
hot and cold weather.
Wash the hand with soap and water after using the toilet and before
eating.
Keep unclean articles away from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, genital
areas, scratches, and sores.
Avoid using common utensils for eating, drinking, or toilet articles
such as comb, toothbrush, towel, cup, or glass, and the like.
Cover the mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. Don't spit
anywhere.
Avoid self-medication and taking un-prescribed drugs.
Keep the home, school, and community clean.
Submit to the necessary immunization against communicable diseases.
Avoid making contact with people who are sick with infectious disease.
Inform health authorities of communicable and dangerous disease
cases so that the necessary measures for isolation and quarantine can be
implemented.
Consult a physician if you don't feel well and exhibit the symptoms of a
cold (this may be a start of another disease) for a fast and meaningful
treatment. Better still, have regular health check-ups.
Have sufficient knowledge about common communicable or non-
communicable diseases in the Philippines together with their prevention
and control.
Take advantage of health education information sessions zeroing in on
disease prevention and control
These general measures include those for building up body resistance
habits of cleanliness, immunization, epidemic control, and broadening
one's knowledge of communicable and noncommunicable diseases.
For Community and Local Officials
Provide the necessary environmental sanctions for the community to
prevent and control disease spread. This means provisions for potable
water supply, adequate toilet facilities, regular garbage collection
proper drainage, sanitary food preparation and handling, and
vermin control.
Survey the community regularly for proper maintenance or lapses in
the implementation of environmental sanitation ordinances and laws
in public Places and establishments which spell disease prevention
and control.
Employ emergency preparedness. Take preparatory measures to guard
against possible common disease epidemic outbreak structure plans for
action in conjunction with local authorities and groups in advance.
Organize educational campaign and information sessions on how
common diseases are spread and what measures can be taken to combat
them In seminars and workshop, disseminate health promotion and
disease prevention to the participant. Also disseminate information on
such matters also through newspapers, magazines, leaflets, and
brochures.
Use the schools to inform people about disease prevention and control
Involve students in cleanliness information campaigns especially on
environmental sanitation. They can transfer what they have learned to
their family members and neighbors. Promote immunization to protect
children and others from communicable diseases.
As general principle, it is a good idea to keep a child with a contagious
disease in the house until he/she no longer has a fever and the doctor
says that he/she is no longer contagious. This precaution helps to
prevent others from catching the disease. Another reason for keeping
the sick children isolated is so they will not pick up new germs from
others to complicate their illness. thorough hand washing.
Teach children to wash up to their wrists a  between fingers, scrubbing
for a minute or more. Put boxes of tissue and around the house to
inspire frequent nose blowing and proper
The best way to limit the spread of disease is through frequent an bags
so that used tissues don't end up on the floor.

Waste Management
It involves the collection, transport, processing, recycling, or
disposal of waste materials. In every area of a workplace, waste is
found.
It is the responsibility of the company or owner of the building to
develop a system to identify the waste collected in the area and find
ways on proper disposal.
Types of Wastes
a. SOLID WASTES are dry form and considered useless and dumped
or thrown away. Solid wastes come from housekeeping activities like
residential wastes and household or domestic wastes. Examples are
plastics, bottles, cans, and materials made from cans, and materials
from polystyrene, paper, and cardboard
b. LIQUID WASTES -include human waste, industrial wastewater
floodwater, and other wastewater from different sources. Examples
are wastewater from ponds and chemical plants.
Classification of Wastes According to
Their Properties:
a. BIODEGRADABLE wastes that can be decomposed by bacteria and
other microorganisms. This can be applied to liquid and solid waste,
such as human and animal wastes, food wastes, and agricultural
wastes.
b. NON BIODEGRADABLE - wastes that will not be decomposed by
living organisms. These wastes accumulate in the environment
because they cannot return to their original state. Examples are
materials made from plastic.
Classification of Wastes According to Their
Effects on Human Health and the Environment:

a. HAZARDOUS WASTES coming from commercial, industrial, and 

agricultural activities. Examples are paint, motor oil, insecticides, air
fresheners, and batteries.
b. NON HAZARDOUS WASTES- these are safe substances like papers,
cardboards, wrappings, and paper-packaging materials.
The flow process of waste management
is:
1. REDUCE - to lower the amount of waste produced
2. REUSE to use again the discarded items, if possible
3. RECYCLE - to use the discarded materials to make new products
like plastics
4. RECOVER -to recover useful wastes for energy programs
Safety and Health Procedures
1. Clean the bathroom, rinse and hang up the washcloths and towels to
dry and leave the room tidy.
2. Remove lint and strands of hair clinging to the hairbrush or comb.
Brush with soap and water to remove in-between dirt.
