Plan and Prepare Tasks to Be Undertaken

Planning, as defined in the dictionary, is an

act of formulating a specific system for a definite
course of action. It is a very essential part of
whatever task there is that needs to be
undertaken as it aids one in preparing for the
tools/ materials to be used, lets one project the
possible scenarios that may arise (such as loose
or damage to the tools).

This lesson aims to discuss the proper steps in planning and preparing for the
specific tasks to be undertaken.

Planning is a process of preparing for change and development and for

deciding how to best manage or influence those changes. Planning is also
directed at resolving specific problem issues or conflicts.

A Guide to Plan Preparation

The Policy background to Plan Preparation

Assessment- Students need to be aware of internal and external risk

factors and the consequences of any damage/ failure on their hand tools.

Prevention- The student should identify which hand tools is damaged.

Preparation of plans- A plan will be required to be realistic, flexible and

meet all the assessed needs of a student at the same time the hand tools
itself and the likely needs of recipients of the emergency response.

Education- Anyone involved to any extent in an emergency plan should

be aware of his role and be given the opportunity to practice actually
doing it.

Testing / Exercising- Any plan must be tested to ensure that it

encompasses all the outcomes of known or reasonably foreseeable risks
and that it would be effective in providing a sufficient and timely
response.

Review- There are a number of circumstances in which a plan may need

to be reviewed. Following any test of a plan, or its use in an emergency
situation, it is important to analyze whether the planned response was
fully effective.

Response- The student should respond to incidents as part of their core

activities. Others may only very occasionally be asked to provide an
emergency response.

 Safety and Risk

An emergency situation does absolve teachers and students from their

responsibilities, for their health and safety. All emergency plans should
therefore take account of the need to maintain the highest possible standards
of safety.

List of Tasks to Be Undertaken

Most efforts to develop identification aids start and end with the
recognition key and its computer spin-offs, there are many other identification
tasks, starting with the most commonly used: instant recognition. Here is a
preliminary list of identification tasks:

Each is briefly described below, including a definition taken from

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.

Recognition
"The identification of something as being of a certain kind"

Elimination
"To leave out of consideration"

Comparison
"The act of considering the relation between things in order to estimate their
similarities or differences"

Selection
"To choose in preference of others"
Selection is the opposite of elimination.

Time Scheduling Suggestions

Time scheduling will not make you a perfectly efficient person. Very few
people can rigorously keep a detailed schedule day after day over a long period
of time. In fact, many students who draw up a study schedule and find
themselves unable to stick to it become impatient and often give up the
scheduling idea completely.

The following method of organizing time has been helpful to many

students and does not take much time. It is more flexible than many methods
and helps the student to establish long term, intermediate, and short term time
goals.

Intermediate Schedule - One per week

CARRY THIS CARD WITH YOU and cross out each item as you
accomplish it. Writing down things in this manner not only forces you to plan
your time but in effect causes you to make a promise to yourself to do what
you have written down

 INFORMATIONSHEET 2.2

Unsafe or Faulty Tools

Hand Tools include a wide variety of non-powered devices such as

wrenches, pliers, hammers, and screwdrivers. These tools may seem harmless,
but they are the cause of many injuries. The Following are the summary of
safety practices related to hand tools.

General hazards:

 The two most common hazards associated with the use of Hand Tools are
misuse and improper maintenance.
 Misuse occurs when a hand tool is used for something other than its
intended purpose. (An example would be using screwdriver as a chisel.
This may cause the tip to break and strike someone).
 Improper maintenance allows hand tools to deteriorate into an unsafe
condition. (Example would include cracked wooden handles that allow
the tool head to fly off or mushroomed heads that can shatter upon
impact.
 Specially designed tools may be needed in hazardous environments.
(Always use non-sparking tools in the presence of flammable vapors and
dusts. Insulated tools with appropriate ratings must be used for
electrical work).

Personal Protective Equipment:

 The type of PPE needed when using tools depends on the nature of the
tank. At a minimum, eye protection should always be worn.
 The use of hand protection may also be appropriate to provide
protection against cuts, abrasion, and repeated impact.

Do’s and Don’ts in Using Hand Tools

Pliers:

 Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a
larger pair of pliers or bolt cutters.
 Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts.
Pliers cannot grip these items properly and will slip.
 Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to
result in cracks or breaks.
 Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose.
 Always cut a right angle. Never rock from side to side or bend wire back
and forth against the cutting edges.

Screwdrivers:

 Never use screwdrivers as a pry bar, chisel, and punch stirrer or scraper.
 Always use screwdriver tip that properly fits the slot of the screw.
 Throw away screwdrivers with broken or worn handles.
 Use magnetic or screw-holding screwdrivers to start fasteners in tight
areas.
 Never use pliers on a screwdriver for extra leverage. Only use wrench or
screwdrivers specifically designed to accept them.

Utility Knives/ Blades:

 Always use a sharp blade. Dull blades require more force and thus are
more likely to slip. Replace the blade when it starts to “tear” instead of
cut.
 Never leave a knife unattended with the blade exposed. Consider using a
self-retracted knife with a spring-loaded black. (The blade will retract
when pressure as the knife is released.
 Keep your free hand away from the line of the cut.
 Don’t bend or apply side loads to blades by using them to open cans or
pay loose objects. Blades are brittle and can snap easily.

Proper Use, Maintenance and Storage Tools

The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most

industrial safety programs. An understanding of the hand tool’s intended use
and environment, combined with proper tool selection, maintenance and
storage, will greatly reduce the risk of harmful accidents.

The following common-sense guidelines for Tool Use, Maintenance and

Storage:

 Keep hand tools clean and free from ferrous or other contaminants.
 Do not use hand tools in direct contact with acetylene, due to the possible
formation of explosive acetyl ides, especially in the presence of moisture.
 During normal use, all pliers and screwdrivers will
progressively develop some damage to the striking
faces of screwdrivers or the cutting edge and striking
end of pliers. As part of the normal operating and
safety procedures, these tools should be returned to
the workshop, as with steel tools, to have the faces and heads redressed.
This is essential to prevent eye damage resulting from chips detaching
from the item during use.
 Do not hand tools fitted with wooden handles in places where the handles
may dry out and shrink. This will increase the risk of the handle breaking
or the head becoming loose.
 Tools are designed for specific use. As with any tool. In addition to the
probability that the tool will be damaged, this is a
dangerous practice for the safety of the operator.

 The accepted standards of safety and

maintenance for common steel hand tools must also be adopted with non-
sparking hand tools, in addition to any specific recommendations
Point to note: resulting from the alloys used.
 When sharpening hand tools, follow normal safety procedures, such as
the provision of eye and face protection, adequate extraction and dust
collecting facilities.

 Clean tools and equipment work more efficiently. At the end
of each working day clean the tools and equipment you used
and check them for any damage. If you note and damage,
tag the tool as faulty and organize a repair or replacement.

Electrical current can travel over oily or greasy surfaces. Keep

electrical power hand tools free from dust and dirt and make
sure they are free of oil and grease.

All workshop hand tools and equipment should have

maintenance schedule. Always complete the tasks
described on the schedule at the required time. This
will help to keep the hand tools in safe working order.

Store commonly used hand tools in an easy-to-reach

location. If a tool or a piece is too difficult to return, it could
be left on a workbench or on the floor where it will become a
safety hazard. Keep your work area tidy. This will help you
work more efficiently and safely.
