 BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Prepare assembly workplace in accordance with OHS policies and

procedures is one of the important part in assembling electronics products.
It includes the identification of hazard and understanding of the different
practices that we can apply to be safe in our workplace.

TOPIC: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

PROCEDURES / PRACTICES

Objectives:

1. Identify occupational health and safety

2. Determine the workplace hazards
3. Differentiate the types of hazards
4. Explain the risk assessment

LEARNING CONTENT:
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH and SAFETY
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area
concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged
in work. The goal is to promote a safe work environment. It may also protect
co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby
communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the
workplace environment.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY STANDARDS (OHSS)

A set of mandatory standards which categorizes all safety orders being
enforced.
It contains administrative requirements, general safety and health rules,
technical safety regulations and other measures to eliminate or reduce
occupational health and safety hazards in the workplace.
OHSS aims to protect every working person against the dangers of injury,
sickness or death through safe and healthful working conditions.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAZARDS and RISKS

Risks are the

Hazards are anything that can chance of the
cause injury, illness, damage to worker being
property or loss of material harmed by the
hazard

TYPES OF HAZARD
1. Chemical Hazard
Chemical hazard is a type of occupational hazard caused by exposure
to chemicals in the workplace.

Using, storing and disposing of chemicals (also known as

hazardous substances) can result in injury and illness if
appropriate care is not taken. Chemicals may be solids, powders,
liquids or gases, pure chemicals or mixtures.

Workers may be exposed to chemicals by:

• breathing in (inhaling) vapors, fumes, dusts and mists
• being absorbed into the body from direct contact with the skin
and eyes
• swallowing (ingesting)
• injecting into the body

Chemical Hazards Examples:

Reactive, toxins, flammables, corrosives
Prevention
Preventing physical risk to your team in the lab can often be achieved
by effective training and good housekeeping. Staff should be trained
in the proper procedures for lifting, pulling and pushing, as well as
the dangers of repetitive movements, and the handling requirements
for different equipment.
8
 equipment. Proper housekeeping is essential for preventing slips,
trips and falls in the lab, so any potential hazards should be quickly
disposed of or tidied away. Also, a safety policy can help identify and
protect your research team from any kind of potential hazard.
2. Physical Hazard
Physical hazard is an agent, factor or circumstance that can cause
harm with or without contact. They can be classified as type of
occupational hazard or environmental hazard.
Physical hazards include:

• ergonomic hazards
• radiation
• heat and cold stress
• vibration hazards
• noise hazards

Physical Hazard Examples:

Noise, Projectiles, Heating Devices, moving machinery accidents,
Slipping

Prevention

When it comes to chemical hazards, effective prevention is the best

way to manage the risks of working with these dangerous
substances. Practicing proper chemical segregation is essential in all
labs, as some substances can react with each other to create
chemical reactions, fires and even explosions. Protective clothing and
good housekeeping are also important for protecting your team from
chemical hazards.

3. Biological Hazard

A biological hazard or biohazard is a biological substance that poses

a threat to the health of living organisms primarily humans. This
could include a sample of a microorganism, virus or toxin that can
adversely affect human health. A biohazard could also be a
substance harmful to other animals.

Biological Hazard Examples:

Microbes, Plants, Animals, Genetically modified agents

Prevention

Proper storage and protection are key to preventing a biological

emergency in your lab. Wearing appropriate protective clothing and
keeping biological agents contained in the correct areas are essential

9
 for minimizing exposure to risk. Systems and procedures for safe
use, handling, storage and transport of biological hazards should all
be in place. Appropriate housekeeping, such as disinfecting work
surfaces and properly disposing of waste, are also vital for
minimizing biological risk.

4. Electrical Hazard
An electrical hazard can be defined as a dangerous condition where
a worker could make electrical contact with energized equipment or
a conductor and from which the person may sustain an injury from
shock; and/or, there is potential for the worker to receive an arc flash
burn, thermal burn, or blast injury.
Some hazards include:

• Loose or improper connections, such as electrical outlets or

switches.
• Frayed appliance or extension cords.
• Pinched or pierced wire insulation, which could occur from, for
example, a chair leg sitting on an extension cord.
• Cracked wire insulation caused by heat, age, corrosion or
bending.

Electrical Hazard Examples:

Fire, Shock, Malfunctioning electric equipment, Unsafe use of
extension cords

Prevention

Electrical hazards can easily be overlooked in labs, which tend to

have more health and safety risks than in other workplaces.
Electrical hazards are potentially life threatening, however, so
minimizing their risk is vital. All power outlets that could be exposed
to wet conditions should be equipped with ground-fault circuit
interrupters. Flexible extension cords should also be well maintained
and never used as a substitute for permanent wiring. Electrical
pendants can be used where possible to keep cords out of the way.

5. Psychological Hazard

A psychological hazard is any hazard that affects the mental well-

being or mental health of the worker by overwhelming individual
coping mechanisms and impacting the worker's ability to work in a
healthy and safe manner.
Work Organizational Factors Workplace violence and harassment

• Working alone

10
 • Change
• Technological change Technological change
• Fatigue and hours of work

Personal Factors

• Substance abuse
• Depression, anxiety, other mental illness Age-related factors
• Work-life conflict

Prevention

• Develop and regularly review hazard assessments related to

psychological hazards.
• Recognize that the hazard may vary according to the client or
situation and develop action plans accordingly.
• Ensure plans are in place proactively to deal with ensure plans are
in place proactively to deal with violence or abuse.
• Identify working alone situations and develop control strategies.
• Actively participate in employer programs, procedures and plans to
reduce psychological hazards in the workplace
RISK ASSESSMENT
A risk assessment is a systematic examination of a task, job or process
that you carry out at work for the purpose of identifying the significant
hazards, the risk of someone being harmed and deciding what further
control measures you must take to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Procedures in determining Risk Assessment
Each student has a responsibility to their colleagues and their organization
to report and act upon any potential workplace hazard. All students need
to be aware of the type of hazards that are possible in their work
environment.
1. Identify the hazards and risk.
2. Clear the area close to the hazard.
3. Partition the hazard off or clearly identify the area to protect other people
from harm.
4. If the hazard is easily and safely cleared, then do so If not… Report the
hazard to the appropriate person, to obtain assistance.
5. Fill out the correct documentation to assist in identifying improved
practice to reduce further incidence of hazards

 BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Accident is unexpected and unintentionally incidents that can cause

hard and damage. It is very important to understand the principles,
procedures and materials that can help you to work safely.
In this lesson,
LEARNING you will understand the directive regarding WEEE,
CONTENT:
principles of 3R and 5S. Lastly, the use of Personal Protective Equipment.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation (WEEE) is a

directive in the European Union that designates safe and responsible
collection, recycling and recovery procedures for all types of electronic
waste.
If improperly disposed, electronic waste like old computers, mobile phones
and kitchen appliances can pose environmental and health risks from
exposure to lead, mercury and other heavy metals. The WEEE regulation
aims to reduce these risks by providing a safe way to get rid of these
materials. Eventually, WEEE will phase out dangerous materials in
exchange for safer alternatives.

3Rs refers to three terms often used when talking about waste: Reduce,
Reuse, and Recycle.
If we keep producing so much waste, we'll run out of room. Using the 3Rs
will help us cut back the amount of trash we throw away. It's also the best
method for keeping our earth clean.
The importance of 3r's of waste management elements is to help: Cut down
on the waste disposals. Save land and money that communities use to
manage wastes. Reduce air pollution and contribute to a healthier planet.
Reducing is cutting back on the amount of trash we make.
Reusing is finding a new way to use trash so that we don't have to throw it
out.
Recycling is using trash to remake new goods that can be sold again.

15
5S is
1. A systematized approached to organized work areas.
2. Keeping of standards, rules and regulation.
3. Maintaining the discipline needed to do a good job.

LEARNING CONTENT:

DRIVING TOOLS
Driving tools are set of tools used to install, repair and maintain a variety
of constructions. They are used to insert and drive screws, nuts and bolts
into surfaces with mechanical and manual force.

Screwdrivers are hand tools specifically designed to insert and tighten, or

to loosen and remove screws. A screwdriver comprises a head or tip, which
engages with screw; mechanism to apply force by rotating the tip, and some
way to position and support the screwdriver, the tip of which is shaped to
fit a screw.
1. Slotted Screwdriver is used to drive or fasten negative slotted screws.

2. Phillips Screwdriver is used to drive of fasten positive slotted screws.

It is a screwdriver that could take greater torque and could provide
tighter fastenings.

3. Stubby screwdriver features a chrome vanadium steel shank for

durability and an ergonomic rubber grip for comfort and control
when fastening and loosening. The stubby handle also allows you to
reach fasteners in tight spaces.
4. Allen screwdriver is a small, angled tool with a hexagonal head
that’s commonly used to repair or tighten a number of small
appliances or parts. It’s also known as either a hex key or a hex
wrench. The tool comes in varying sizes designed to correspond to
differently sized joints or screw holds. It typically only works with
hexagonal screws or bolts.

23
 5. Jeweler’s Screwdriver Set / Precision Screwdriver Set is a set of
small screwdrivers composed of slotted, Phillips and many more
screwdrivers
6. Other Variations

Robertson Torx

Torq-Set Tri-wing

Tripple Square Spanner Head

Common Faults
Screwdrivers:
• Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel and punch stirrer or
scraper.
• Never use screwdrivers with broken or worn-out handles.
Screwdriver of these kinds should have tags to indicate that they are
defective.
• Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench
or screwdriver specifically designed for purpose.

Proper Care and Maintenance

Screwdrivers:

• Select screwdriver that fits the screw head slot perfectly.

• Keep the screwdriver’s handle dry and clean to prevent slippage.

SOLDERING TOOLS
Hand tools that are used in soldering process.
1. Soldering Iron is a device for applying heat to melt solder in attaching
two metal parts. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip
and an insulated handle. For electrical work, wires are usually
soldered to printed circuit boards, other wires or small terminals. A
low-power iron (20-30 Watts) is suitable for this work.

24
 2. Desoldering tool is used in removing soldered wires and components
on printed circuit boards for troubleshooting the repair purposes.
3. Soldering Tool Stand is a place where the soldering iron is placed
during usage. This will keep the soldering iron away from flammable
materials. The stand often comes with a sponge used in cleaning the
tip of the soldering iron.
Other materials:
4. Soldering Lead is a low-melting point alloy which is a mixture of lead
and tin that is melted to join separate metal parts which are then
permanently attached when the alloy cools.
5. Soldering wick is a desoldering tool used to remove excess or
unwanted solder by letting the molten solder adhere to it.
Proper Care and Maintenance
Soldering Iron:

• Clean and tin the tip of the soldering iron before using.
• Use only soldering iron with 30 watts up to 40 watts of power rating
for soldering electronic components in printed circuit board (PCB).
• Do not wash the tip of the soldering iron with water to speed up its
cooling process after use. It might corrode the soldering tip.

Desoldering Pump:
• Heat the terminals to be desoldered before sucking the melted
solder using desoldering pump.
• Avoid direct contact of the tip of desoldering pump with the tip of
the soldering iron.
• Clean and oil the inside sucking spring of the desoldering pump
regularly.
• Declog the tip of the desoldering pump regularly so that the melted
solder will not stick permanently inside the tip.

SPLICING TOOLS
1. Long Nose Pliers is used for holding, bending and stretching the
lead of electronic component or connecting wires.

25
 2. Side Cutter is a wire-cutting pliers, though they are not used to
grab or turn anything but are used to cut wires

3. Wire Stripper is a pair of opposing blades much like scissors or wire

cutters. The addition of a center notch makes it easier to cut the
insulation without cutting the wire.

4. Combination Pliers is a slip-joint pliers with a notched inner grip for

holding and grasping round objects and cutting and bending wire.

Common Faults
Pliers:

• Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage.

Use a larger pair of pliers or bolt cutters if necessary.
• Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts.
Pliers cannot grip these items properly and might cause a slip and
create an accident.
• Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse if likely to
result in cracks or breaks
• Cut hardened wires only with pliers designed for that purpose.
• Always cut the wires in right angle. Never rock from side to side or
bend wire back and forth against the cutting edges.

Proper Care and Maintenance

• Always keep pliers in good condition by cleaning and regular

application of oil.
• Never use pliers as substitute for a wrench or hammer.
• Never hammer the pliers when cutting wires.

BORING TOOLS
Hand tools that are used used to enlarge and accurately finish a large bore
previously formed by casting or otherwise.

26
 1. 12V Mini-Drill is used to bore or drill holes in the printed circuit
board (PCB) with sizes from 1/32” – 1/16”.
2. Portable Electric Drill is used for boring holes in plastic or metal
chassis with the use of drill bits having sizes from 1/6” to
approximately 1/4".
3. Metal Files are hand tools having a series of sharp, parallel ridges or
teeth. Most files have a narrow, pointed tang at one end to which a
handle can be fitted.
Flat File is parallel in width and tapered in thickness; they are used for
flat surfaces and edges.
Half Round File is tapered in width and thickness, coming to a point
and is narrower than a standard half round and used for filing inside of
the rings.
Round File is also called rat-tail file which is gradually tapered and used
for many tasks that require a round tool, such as enlarging round holes
or cutting a scalloped edge.
Proper Care and Maintenance

• Hold the mini-drill firmly at 90 degrees (upright position) with the

material to be drilled and make sure to tighten the chuck jaw of the
mini-drill securely before using it.
• Hold the material firmly on a vise grip or clamp when drilling holes.
Do not hold the material with your bare hands.
• Clean chips with a brush, not with your hand.
• Keep the work area clean after drilling.

CUTTING TOOLS
1. Utility Knife is a common tool used in cutting various trades and
crafts for a variety of purposes.

2. Hacksaw is used for cutting metals. Some have pistol grips which
keep the hacksaw firm and easy to grip. The small hand-held
hacksaws consist of a metal arch with a handle that fits around a
narrow, rigid blade.
Common Faults
Utility Knives/Blades:

• Do not use dull blades because they require more force, thus are
more likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to tear instead
of cut.

27
 • Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed.
• Do not bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or
loosen tight cover of containers. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.

AUXILIARY TOOLS
1. Paint Brush is a type of brush made of bristles set in handle, used for
cleaning dirty parts of a circuit or an object aside from using it for painting.
2. Magnifying Glass is a convex lens which is used to produce a magnified
image of an object. The lens is usually mounted on a frame with a handle.
Roger Bacon is the original inventor of the magnifying glass. A magnifying
glass works by creating a magnified virtual image of an object behind the
lens. Some magnifying glasses are foldable with built-in light.
3. Third Hand is also known as helping hand, a type of extremely
adjustable jig used in soldering and craftwork to hold materials near each
other so that the user can work on them.
4. Tweezers are tools used for picking up small objects that are not easily
handled with the human hands. They are probably derived from tongs,
pincers, or scissors-like pliers used to grab or hold hot objects.

 BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Aside from hand tools, other types of equipment are also needed for
more accurate and quality output. Four of the most used equipment are
presented here for you to be familiar with their uses and the proper way of
maintaining them.

LEARNING CONTENT:

Tool is a device typically hand-held, used to carry out a particular function

or accomplish a simple task.
Equipment is a device that is used in specific task.

VOLT -OHM-MILLIAMMETER (VOM)/ MULTITESTER

It is equipment that combines three functions: voltmeter that measures
both ac and dc voltages; an ohmmeter that measures resistance; and
milliammeter that measures small amount of DC current.
Proper Care and Maintenance
• As safety precautions in the maintenance of this instrument, the
following should be observed:
• Always rest the function switch at 250V AC if an OFF position is not
available in the instrument.
• For current and voltage measurements, always set the function
switch in the correct setting which is a little higher than the expected
current or voltage present in the circuit.
• Place the instrument in a cool dry place, away from any magnetic
devices and free from vibrations.

OSCILLOSCOPE
An oscilloscope (commonly abbreviated CRO, for cathode-ray-oscilloscope
or scope) is a piece of electronic test equipment that allows signal voltages
to be view, usually as a two-dimensional graph of one or more electrical
potential differences (vertical axis) plotted as a function of time or of some
other voltage (horizontal axis).

32
Oscilloscope can:
1. Determine the time and voltage values of a signal
2. Calculate the frequency of an oscillating signal
3. See the “moving parts” of a circuit represented by the signal
4. Tell if a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal
5. Find out how much of a signal is direct current (DC) or alternating
current (AC)
6. Tell how much of the signal is noise and whether the noise is
changing

SIGNAL GENERATOR
A signal generator is a device which produces simple wave forms.
This test instrument is capable of generating repeating or non-repeating
electronic signals in either analog or digital waveform. It contains an
electronic oscillator, a circuit that is capable of creating a repetitive
waveform
Proper Care and Maintenance
Oscilloscope and signal generator should be given regular checkup for at
least once a week by connecting them to the power line. This will help
prevent their components from having moisture that might cause trouble
in their circuit.

DC POWERSUPPLY
A source of potential difference, like a battery. It supplies voltage and
current, and it can be adjusted to provide the required voltage for any
experiment. It is used as substitute for power supplies of other electronic
instruments when suspected with defective power supplies.

MULTITESTER / VOLT-OHM-MILLIAMMETER (VOM)

It is the best instrument that can measure voltage, resistance and current.

Types of Multitester

1. Analog multitester has a moving coil assembly

which is characterized by a needle pointer that
moves on a scale indicating the value of the
measured quantity.

ki/Multimeter#/media/File:
YX360TRF(Sanwa).JPG

2. Digital Multitester is identified

mainly by a numeric display in
order to read the measured
values. It is purely electronic,
without any moving element or
coil. It uses liquid crystal display
(LCD) which is also used in
calculators and digital watches.

36
Parts of Multitester

1. Pointer/Needle – a needle-shaped rod that moves over the scale of a

meter. It is mechanically connected to the moving coil, it indicates
the measure values on the multitester scale.
2. Range Selector Knob – makes it possible to select different functions
and range of the meter.
3. Zero Ohm Adjustment Knob – makes it possible to adjust the pointer
to the zero position of the screw.
4. Test Probe – (Positive & Negative) used to connect the circuit to the
electronic component being tested.
5. Scale - a series of markings used for reading the value of a particular
thing to be measured like components, wires connected in a circuit,
outlets, etc.
- only sees in analog multimeter.
- have different types of scale for voltage and current reading the
scales have mostly linear which means equal division. For
resistance, it has a separate scale that only be used in finding
resistance of a component
