INTRODUCTION
A symbol is something that represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention.
However, symbols are meaningful only if they are drawn according to relevant standards or convention. A
heart, for example, can be symbol for love, and a candle can be a symbol for light.

GENERAL SAFETY KEEPING AND MAINTAINING HAND TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, AND

- Safety procedure and proper handling of PARAPHERNALIA
tools and equipment are highly observed when working with any electronic devices in
the animation industry to avoid damages and injuries. An animator works with so many things on things on his or her desk
such as lamp, lightbox, animation disc, graphic tablets, and computer. It is important that the animator is familiar in using each
tool correctly. With the proper knowledge of the use of tools, the job of an animator is less difficult. The following safety rules
apply to every animator:

Common Malfunctions When Using Hand Tools, Equipment, and Paraphernalia

In today’s world, computers and other electronic devices are essential to every person to the extent that they became a necessity to have
one of these electronic devices. However, a device wears out due to several factors such as environment effects, corrosion, vibration, and
temperature. Wrong ways of using these devices can contribute to faulty defects. Therefore, knowing how to use and take care of one’s device is
essential to prolong its usefulness and limiting the damages it could bring. These are the common malfunctions when using hand tools and
equipment:
Wrong use of tools for the job will create bad effect on the tools.
Too many impositions of force on tools on tools, which is less than its capacity to endure, causes the tools to be unserviceable.
Tools not kept and maintained will make them difficult to operate and non-functional
Methods of Identifying Nonfunctional Tools and Equipment
To identify nonfunctional tools and equipment, the following inspections should be done:
1. Visual inspection. The animator has to see and check the appearance of the tools and equipment.
2. Functionality. The animator has to check the range of operations that can be run on a computer or other electronic systems.
3. Performance. The animator has to check the process of accomplishing a task.
4. Power supply. The animator has to check the hardware component that supplies power to an electrical device.

measures in accordance with the OHS procedures PRACTICE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROCEDURES (OHS) TLE_ICTAN912OS-Ii-1

INTRODUCTION
Health refers to the condition of the body being free from illness and injury. On the other hand, safety refers to
the condition of being protected against physical, social, and emotional consequences of any undesirable
events. Health and safety practices are important to avoid and reduce work-related accidents and ill-health
among employees. Hazard is the source of harm to health and safety to employees. In any working
environment, there is always the possibility of an accident to employees’ health no matter how they avoid it.

HAZARD AND RISKS

A hazard is the threat or danger in a workplace that may cause harm
to people. Hazards in the animation industry include fatigue and stress, poor
lighting and electrical equipment, and environmental temperature and
ventilation.

A risk is a possibility or chance that a hazard will cause harm. For

example, lighted candle is a hazard that has a possibility to harm
employees in the workplace if left unattended. Moreover, animation
studios are widely packed with wires that have the possibility to harm
employees if the wires are not properly maintained.

HAZARDS AND RISKS CONTROL

Step 1: Identify hazards. Spot all potentially hazardous things or situations that may cause harm.
In general, hazards are likely to be found in the Physical work environment, Equipment,
materials, or substances used, Work tasks and how they are performed and Work design and
management.
Step 2: Assess risks. Risk assessment involves considering the possible results of someone being
exposed to a hazard and the likelihood of this occurring. A risk assessment assists in determining
how severe the risk is; whether existing control measures are effective; what action should be
taken to control a risk; and how urgently action needs to be taken.
Step 3: Control risks. Once a risk rating is determined, each hazard must have its existing risk
control measures evaluated.
Step 4: Implement additional risk control. Having identified the hazards in the workplace, assess
the risks and review the existing controls. All hazards must be managed before employees are
hurt, become ill, or there is damage to plan, property, or the environment.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safety regulations in the workplace need to be in place to assure the employees that they are cared for. It is
important for employees to be aware of the safety rules to be followed at the workplace. Every organization

CONTINGENCY MEASURE
Contingency measure is something employees do or prepared to do, in case something happens. There are some
problems in the animation film production where it cannot be prevented. The following are common hazards and
problems of employees working in the animation industry with contingency measures to minimize the risk.

Fire
Majority of fire incidents are caused by electrical short circuits and connections. Heat, fuel, and oxygen are the elements
of fire to occur. These components must be avoided in order not to accumulate in one place and to prevent fire from
occurring. Wire-packed animation studios and animation rooms are susceptible to fire.
Stress
Stress at work accounts for a high percentage of lost working days of people in the animation industry. The causes of
stress includes time pressure, excessive demands, constant pressure, unacceptable behavior, lack of respect, and
contradictory instructions that lead to errors, fatigue, burnout, exhaustion, and poor performance. Working in the
animation industry can be a hazardous place.
Ventilation
In any indoor places, a good ventilation system is one of the basic health and safety requirements. in animation industry,
it includes the set and all other service areas. Too much exposure to carbon dioxide in the air can cause difficulty in
breathing among employees. For ventilation is a potential hazard for the safety of employees and other people involved
in the production. Are poor oxygen supply can lead to fainting or asphyxia. It can impair concentration, sense of balance,
and can induce fatigue, overall body weakness, dizziness, and temporary memory loss.
CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS AND RISKS AND ITS
EFFECTS

Effects of Hazards
1. Physical Hazards – are those substances that threaten employees’ physical safety. They are the most common and
will be present in most workplace. They include unsafe conditions that can cause injury, illness, and death.
2. Chemical hazards – are present when employees are exposed to any chemical preparation in the workplace in solid,
liquid or gas form.
3. Biological hazard – from working with animals, people, or infectious plant materials.
4. Safety hazard – is anything that can have an adverse impact on employees’ safety such as energized electrical wires,
guns, knives, and falling off an unguarded roof edge.

5. Ergonomic hazards – occurs when the type of work, body position, and working conditions put strain on employees’
body. They are the hardest to spot since employees do not always immediately notice the strain on their body or the
harm on these hazards pose.
6. Work Organizations – hazards or stressors that can cause short-term and long-term effects. These are associated with
workplace issues such as workload, lack of control, and/or respect, etc. Classification of Hazards and Risks in the
Workplace When the workplace is free from hazards and risks, injuries and accidents are also prevented. It is essential
that employees are familiar with the types of hazards so that they will now how to act according to the situation and
make necessary actions.

TYPES OF HAZARDS

1. Safety Hazards -- Accidents and injuries like broken bones, cuts, and loss of eyesight at work are generally the result
of safety hazards. Examples of safety hazards are fire/explosion, slippery surfaces, and working from heights.
2. Health Hazards -- These are conditions that may be physical, chemical, biological, ergonomical, or organizational.
Disease and illness caused by these hazards are difficult to recognize because they develop slowly and may occur a long
time after exposure.

Types of Health Hazards:

1. Physical Hazards (such as Radiation, Extreme temperature and Constant loud noise)
2. Chemical hazards (such as Pesticides, Vapors and fumes that come from welding and flammable materials)
3. Biological hazard (such as Plants, Molds and Bacteria
4. Ergonomic hazards (such as Poor posture, Vibration and using too much force)
5. Work Organizations (such as Respect, Intensity and Workplace violence)

CONTROLLING HAZARDS AND RISKS

SAFETY PROCEDURES
All Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be of safe design and construction and should be maintained in a clean
and reliable fashion. It should be comfortable and fit to wear, encouraging worker use. PPE is used to reduce or
minimize the exposure or contact to injurious physical, chemical, ergonomic, or biological agents. A hazard cannot be
eliminated by PPE but the risk of injury can be reduced.

Types of PPE:
Eye and face protection (such as Goggles, Face shields, Safety spectacles and Welding shields)
Foot protection (such as Safety Boots and Rubber Shoes, Anti-Static and Conductive Footwear)

Steps in Controlling Hazards and Risks

 Conduct a hazard assessment such as Identifying hazards by conducting survey in the workplace; determining
whether any hazard required PPE; Paying attention to working conditions that can produce hazards; and
Reassessing hazards whenever necessary, especially when new equipment is installed.
 Select appropriate equipment. Ensure that all PPE used is the right kind of equipment for the job and is
maintained properly.
 Have knowledge on which PPE is necessary? How to identify if it fits properly? How to put on, remove, adjust,
and wear PPE? How to dispose PPE? What is the limitation of using PPE?

UNDERSTANDING A SPECIFICATION

Specification or spec is a list of key components that make up the computer. Specification of the computer are
usually provided by retailers to help customers decide which combination of features you need for animation. It is
important to start by deciding what it is you want your computer to do. This then informs what specification you
actually need. When buying a computer knowing the specs will enable animators to come up with wise decision.

3D animation, for example, the RAM temporarily
stores those unsaved files before the animator
saves them. If the size of RAM is full, the computer
will slow down causing those temporary files to be
saved on a different, slower hard drive. Animators
need bigger RAM size since they are using graphic
applications. An 8GB RAM is recommended for
general graphics work.

Graphics Cards Information

These cards are installed inside a PC that allow computers to produce graphics and images more quickly. Users who do not
use their computers frequently do not need faster graphics card. The built-in graphics card should suffice. For gamers,
they need to review the specs of the laptops before buying because graphics card on laptops cannot be upgraded. For
animators, computers need to have a separate PCI 128MB graphics card. Graphics cards with faster processor and
memory will display images quickly.

Types of graphics cards:

1.) Integrated graphics cards are on board graphics cards that come up with standard motherboard.
2.) Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) graphics cards are those that use the PCI slots on the motherboard connected to the computer.
3.) AGP graphics cards are similar to PCI graphics cards but have for speeds the fastest

Most people in the animation industry today have gone digital on media and rely on computers to store volume
of data and for task that needed more speed and storage. Many computer programs and applications such as
coloring, video editing, and filmmaking require more disk space and faster computer. The capacity and speed of
which your computer runs programs or completes task is determined in great measure by the processor’s speed

Calculating data storage capacity a

byte is one character of
information and is equal to eight
bits or digital 1’s or 0’s. It is the
smallest unit measurement used to
represent storage capacity. Data
storage capacity is measured in
terms of bytes, kilobytes,
megabytes, gigabytes, and
terabytes.

For example:

1.) Convert 100KB to B

Since there are 1,000B in 1 KB, simply multiply the given quantity 100KB by 1,000B
Solution: 100KB = 100 (1,000B) = 100,000B
Answer: Therefore, there are 10,000B for every 100KB
2.) Convert 5MB to GB From the reference table, there are 1,000,000,000B for every MB
5MB = 5,000,000B
For every gigabyte, there are 1,000,000,000B 5,000,000B = 0.005GB
Therefore, for every 5MB, there is 0.005GB
3.) Convert 0.5GB to KB
There are 1,000,000,000B for every GB, 0.5Gb = 500,000,000B
So 500,000,000B = 500,000KB
Therefore, there are 500,000 KB for every 0.5GB

In digital information MB and GB are often used to measure computer storage and memory. For example, one unit of
this book is about 1MB in size. 1MB is equivalent to 1,024 or 1,048,576B. If all the books in a large library contains 1TB of
information, then its equivalent is 1,024KB and this is roughly 1,610 CDs worth of data.

Example: 1.

The portable Document Format PDF file of the document from a PDF file of the animation curriculum guide is 476 KB
how many is 476KB files can be stored in a Zip disc? (Zip disc =750 MB)

1KB = 1,024B
476KB x 1,024 = 487, 424B
1MB = 1,048,576B
750MB x 1,048,576 = 786, 432,000B of space
786,432,000/487,424 = 1,613.45
So, there are 1,613.45 files of 476KB files that can be stored in a Zip disc.

2. How many 20KB files can be stored in a 1MB folder?

1KB =1,024B
10 x 1,024 = 20,480B in a 20KB file
1MB = 1,048,576B
1,048,576/20,480 = 51.2
So, there are 51.2 files stored in a 1MB folder.
