INFORMATION SHEET 5.1-1

Learning Objective: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be
able to identify and describe the training facilities and equipment in your
center or school in order to determine its maintenance requirements.
Trainers, as they embark on teaching and learning activities, are also
involved in the maintenance and upkeep of the workshop/classroom and its
surroundings especially in small training centers. They must ensure that
facilities, equipment and tools are adequate, available and in operating
condition. This is premised that a healthy, safe and worry-free working
environment promotes good performance, morale and well-being of the
students and the whole school community.
Training facilities are structures provided for learning purposes.
Training facilities include classrooms, workshops, laboratory, library and
utilities such as lighting, water, drainage and sewage, as required in
carrying out the transfer of knowledge and skills. Training facilities also
cover built structures such as buildings (single and multi-purpose), tracks,
walkways
and
plants
(fixtures,
infrastructure and superstructure).
training facilities as follows:
Facilities in a traditional training

delivery are very different from a
competency-based training facility
where trainees have to master all the
required
competencies
of
their
training qualification. For this reason,
TESDA has identified the different
components
of
competency-based
1.
Practical Work Area This area is where the trainee acquires the skills
and knowledge components of the competencies prescribed by the
standard.
2.
Learning Resource Center - This area is proximate to the heart the

practical work area. This area provides the trainee with the knowledge
requirements in the various modules responding to the competencies. It is
a place where projects can be planned and self-paced learning is based.
This area has an array of learning materials in print or soft-copies for a
multimedia environment.

3.
Institutional Assessment Area It is located very proximate to the

practical work area. This is where recognition of prior learning is done
by the trainer. This component also provides the mechanism of
assessing the completion of competencies of a trainee. Upon completion
of all modules within a competency, the trainee is handed a Certificate
of Achievement. This facility is provided with a computer system that
houses and manages trainees individual records.
4.
Contextual Learning Laboratory This facility

ensures that the underpinning knowledge, the
science, mathematics and communication
principles as applied to the technology are
provided to the trainee.
5.
Quality control Various tests aside from

metrology and calibration are conducted in this
area including in-process quality control. Here,
finished products generated from the training
are scrutinized if standards or requirements are met.
6.
Trainers Resource Area This area houses the learning materials, the
training regulations and curriculum exemplars. This is also the place
where instructors produce courseware or training materials.
7.
Distance Learning Area One major issue of TVET is accessibility.

This is the major objective of this component enhance accessibility of
TVET. This is to enable the learning provision outside and away from
the training institution in the term of print and non-print media. At
present, this is implemented in selected qualifications and training
centers with Internet connections.
8.
Computer Laboratory This area depicts the major physical change in

the delivery the use of Information
technology. This laboratory has an array of
computer units where trainee are provided to
learn and gain appropriate IT competencies
that may include Word, Excel even Desktop
Publishing as may be prescribed in the
competency
standard
and
curriculum.
Computer units are in a LAN environment
hooked to an ISP for Internet access.

Attributes of Training Facilities

A training facility for adult must have flexible and technologically
advanced environment that are safe, healthy, comfortable, aesthetically
pleasing, and accessible. It must be able to accommodate the specific space
and equipment needs that allow students to carry out
some functions or activities during their training
sessions.
Training facilities and equipment have different
attributes. The size and structure of these areas are of
different standards particularly those of workshops or
practical work areas. Among the considerations are the
size of equipment and the space required while using
them, the type of activities necessary to perform or
demonstrate the competencies of the qualification, and
the conditions required of the facility such that the
make-up of floor or ceiling maybe distinct from one
qualification to another. The reference, of course, is
the training regulation of the course/qualification.
It is typical, for the floor of a commercial cooking
area to be tiled and provided with drainage for easy
cleaning and drying (for safety as well as hygiene and
sanitation purposes). Those in the construction
courses are commonly with plain cement or unfinished
floors. Welding workshops on the other hand, are
normally equipped with ventilation/exhaust facilities to
minimize the heat brought about by the operation of
motor engine and other machines as well as to
eliminate fumes that are destructive to health and for
safety. Other courses need amenities in its work
environment such as in Housekeeping, Health Care
Services and Beauty Care.
Likewise, many courses are dependent on the electrical power such as
in Computer Hardware Servicing, Mechatronics, and Welding while
others require the steady supply of water and provision of adequate drainage
such as in Plumbing and Commercial Cooking. Hence, the maintenance of
electrical, water, drainage, and ventilation systems is of great importance to
ensure continuity of training and effect quality learning environment.

Training Equipment and Supplies

Training equipment is usually placed in the practical work area or the
trainee resource area. The sizes and uses of equipment vary in the different
training qualifications and generally classified into five (5):
1. large items of equipment motor vehicles, industrial sewing
machines
2. small items of equipment video/tape recorder, espresso machine
3. simple equipment electric fan, floor polisher
4. complex equipment plasma cutting
machine, simulator (automotive)
5. equipment with significant health and
safety implications duplicator machine
In order to identify and plan the maintenance
activities and schedule of equipment, it is necessary
for the users and other concerned individuals or office to know the operation
of each equipment or facility. The Manual from the Manufacturers
(Instruction Manual or Users Manual) is usually accompanying the tool,
equipment or facility, is essential in this aspect. Any office/institution may
device the standard operating procedure in using such tool, equipment or
facility. The production of procedural or instructional manual of equipment
including the orientation or training in the operation, handling, storing, and
disposal, is therefore necessary.
It is recommended that the operation of equipment should be developed
based on the manufacturers manual, basic and common knowledge of the
equipment, and the established organizational policies, rules and
regulations. The instruction on the operation must be posted or hung beside
or near the equipment. Sample template is given below.

Importance of Maintenance
able to know, understand and appreciate maintenance and its importance.
Maintenance is an excellent means of improving the performance and
condition of equipment and facilities. An effective maintenance program
identified problems long before any equipment or facility breaks down or
deteriorate. A good maintenance system presents the early discovery of
problems, thus providing plenty of lead time for effective maintenance
planning. The trainer has to value the importance of maintaining the
training facilities, equipment and tools he is using or under his care if he
values the presence and availability of these resources for effective training
and learning processes.
The Growth of Interest in Maintenance
The factors
maintenance are:
contributing
to
the
rapidly
growing
interest
in
1.
Technological development
This trend leads to a more mechanized and automated
equipment, resulting in great productive potential which must be
kept working. This means that training facilities are becoming
more complicated and required more advanced maintenance.
2.
Increasingly expensive raw materials

Finite raw materials, in combination with a growing
population and increasing assumption, inevitably result in higher
raw material prices. Unavoidably, the costs of all by-products
must rise. It is therefore often more profitable to maintain existing
equipment than purchase new ones.
3.
Greater complication
A complicated facility of piece of equipment includes many
components, any or all of which can constitute possible sources of
trouble. Although the operational reliability of each individual
component may be very high, it is necessary to multiply reliability
factor of all components that are dependent on each other in a
system in order to arrive at the total system reliability.
4.
Increased fixed costs

Capital costs constitute a considerable part of the total costs
of training and must be covered by the added value created. If

training stops as a result of inadequate maintenance, capital costs

(depreciation) must still be paid, so that the standstill results in a
net loss. Still, the salaries and overhead expenses must be paid
while training is stopped.
5.
Reduce delayed activities and eradicate uncompleted work

Many work processes depend on an uninterrupted flow of
activities to produce desired result. If an activity is delayed, the
entire work stops. If all the facilities and equipment are reliable
working well, work delay can be reduced.
6.
Environmental concern
The growing quantity of electronic wastes (monitors, laptops,
cellular phones, other electronic gadgets and its substances), the
increasing use of chemicals such as cleaning agents, paints, fuel
and its derivatives, the by-products created from its use, and its
disposal, pose danger to the environment and all living things.
Mass awareness on waste management brings the relevance of
conserving the natural resources and the products (machines, tools)
thru proper maintenance to lengthen its useful life.
Why Maintain?
General Objective:
To keep the optimum condition of physical facilities at acceptable

levels and minimum cost to satisfy the expected of programs,
services and activities at acceptable and minimum costs
Specific Objectives:
To extend the useful life of physical

facilities
To assure the operational readiness of

installed equipment and maximum
possible return on investments
To properly discard hazardous wastes
To ensure the safety of personnel using

the facilities, physical properties and the
environment
What can we gain from maintaining our facilities?
Ensured SAFE environment
Improved MORALE of human resources
Reduced operational COST
Increased PRODUCTION
Prolonged LIFE of facilities
Prompt DELIVERY of services/product

How to maintain?
The question on how do we
implement the maintenance program
will center on the 5Ms are as follows:
Manpower
Money (Financial Resources)
Methods and System
Machines (Facilities)
Materials and Supplies

A maintenance program is a
comprehensive list of maintenance and its incidents. This would include all
maintenance activities to be undertaken, manpower needed, maintenance
methods to be used, all the materials and supplies needed and cost involved
in the maintenance.
A maintenance schedule is a list allocating specific maintenance of an
area, including equipment and tools to a specific period. The maintenance
schedule is just a part of the maintenance program. A maintenance
checklist is a list of maintenance tasks (preventive or predictive) typically
derived through some form of analysis, generated automatically as work
orders at a predetermined frequency.
The following templates are examples of inspection checklist for a
comfort room (as a practical work area) in Housekeeping NC II (Sample

Maintenance Methods and Systems
able to know and understand the different methods, systems and
techniques as applied in the maintenance of facilities.
There are different methods, systems and techniques being applied in
the maintenance of training facilities and equipment such as the Reliability
Centered Maintenance (RCM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Preventive
Maintenance (PM), and Total Production Maintenance. The most popular are
the Quality Management System and the 5S of Housekeeping. Of late, the
installation of software or computer-based system is helpful.
Quality Management System
Quality management is a method for ensuring that all the activities
necessary to design, develop and implement a product or service are
effective with respect to the system and its performance Quality
management can be considered to have 3 main components - quality control,
quality assurance and quality improvement. Quality management focuses
not only on product/service quality but also the means to achieve it. Quality
management therefore uses quality assurance and control of processes as
well as products to achieve more consistent quality.
The following diagram is the Shewhart cycle (PDCA) for quality
improvements (Made popular by Dr. Deming) www. quality-managementsystem.com

Plan. In this stage an organization must be able to prepare a good

maintenance program which will define the standards for Best
Management Practices. The maintenance program must clearly
answer the question on WHY, WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and
HOW.
2.
Do.
Here, the organization through the clearly identified
maintenance program, must be able to practice the Methods and
System defined in order to meet the standards (measurable
performance levels of maintenance execution) established.
3.
Check. To determine if the maintenance program is implemented

according to what is planned, an assessment
must be done. The result of the assessment will
then be recorded and recorded to the proper
authorities for the immediate action. Regular
inspections are conducted to assure that the
maintenance activities are done on the date and
time it was planned and that the performance
levels adhered to the defined standard.
4.
Act. Inspection will allow the organization to determine if the

standards of maintenance are met. This will also allow the
identification of further improvement in the process and
procedures. Hence, the results of the inspection must be properly
documented and reported to the proper authorities for immediate
action or correction needed.
The 5S Housekeeping Systems

5S is the name of a workplace organization methodology that uses a list
of five Japanese words which are seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu and shitsuke.
Transliterated or translated into English, they all start with the letter "S". It
is synonymous with standardized clean up. The list describes how items are
stored and how the new order is maintained. The decision-making process
usually comes from a dialogue about standardization which builds a clear
understanding among employees of how work should be done. It also instills
ownership
of
the
process
in
each
employee.
www.trainingmanagement.info/5s.htm
Seiri (Sort)
TIDINESS, ORGANIZATION
Taking out and disposing of unnecessary items.
Unneeded items are thrown away or disposed.
Refers to the practice of sorting and through all the tools,

materials, etc., in the work area and keeping only essential items.

Everything else stored or discarded. This leads to fewer hazards

and less clutter to interfere with productive work.
Note: Things that clutter the workplace that are not needed should be
taken out. They usually occupy space and restrict physical
movement.
Seiton (Systematize)
ORDERLINESS: Tools, equipment, and materials must be

systematically arranged for the easiest and most efficient access.
Arrangement/Organization of necessary items in good order
Assign a place for everything. The most often used item should be
nearest and ergonomically situated, meaning there should be
little effort required in accessing, using and returning the
equipment, tools and parts, even documents. There must be a
place for everything, and everything must be in place.
Seiso (Sweep)
CLEANLINESS: Cleaning even if things are NOT

DIRTY. A regular cleaning schedule prevents
things from getting too dirty that it would be
difficult to making it clean and span.
Indicates the need to keep the work place

clean as well as neat. Cleaning in Japanese
companies is a daily activity. At the end of
each shift, the work area is cleaned up and
everything restored to its place.
Seiketsu ((Standardize)
STANDARDS: Maintaining the workplace in high standard

housekeeping.
Allows for control and consistency. Basic housekeeping standard

apply everywhere in the facility. Everyone knows exactly what his
or her responsibilities are. Housekeeping duties are part of regular
work routines.
Prepare Housekeeping Standard Checklist. Checklist should be

very detailed and stringent. Remember that thoroughness is a
requirement of EXCELLENCE.
EVALUATE workstation according to the Housekeeping Standard

Checklist.
IMPLEMENT a periodic clean-up schedule; and an award and

sanction scheme.
Tips in Preparing a Housekeeping Standard Checklist:
Keep it simple one page checklist

Security Policies and Procedures

The word security in the general usage is synonymous with safety
but as technical term security means that something not only is secure
but that it has been secured. Part of a good housekeeping program is the
stress on security in the work area and of the tools and equipment. Here are
some security policies and procedures that we may apply in the workplace:
Physical Property
Keep your premises physically secure. Always ensure you know who in
the building. Prevent visitors casually wandering into your premises. If
appropriate, fit an alarm, lock valuable asset (e.g. laptops, mobiles and the
servers) in a secure room. Try to keep items out of direct public view.
Education

value
of
the
information they handle
and are aware of
any procedures you have
developed to combat
threats.

Clear Desks
Establish a practice of clearing desks at the end of each day. This need
not be a complex process simply ensure that staff have lockable drawers or
cupboards in which to place their work, and make sure these are locked and
the keys removed.
Destruction
If you have sensitive information which you wouldnt want to fall into
the wrong hands, destroy any copies you dont need. , if you have a lot of
paper copies, modern shredders provide an inexpensive and effective
solution. Some organizations use specialists destruction companies; this is
normally only necessary if you have a lot of highly sensitive material.

analysis, planning, control and application of work and materials in
economic amounts by competent personnel to ensure orderly and
continuous functioning of all productive resources.
Total productive maintenance main objective is to keep and improve
production facilities stable and efficient at the lowest life cycle cost with the
active participation of all members in the organization. Specifically, its
purposes are:
To increase productivity through maximum utilization and

improvement of all available equipment
To develop maintenance system to reduce life cycle cost of

machinery and equipment through the involvement of everybody in
the organization.
To develop operators capability to be competent in maintenance

activities through education, training and motivation.

TPM balances maintenance cost and efficiency so that all equipment and
facilities can operate at full capacity with the least possible cost. It aims to
improve an organization through the attitude and skill of all personnel from
the top management down to the operations level in various maintenance
undertakings.
Improved equipment effectiveness not only drives home the 5S of
maintenance but also eradicates the six big losses in equipment. TPM
produces system effectiveness or overall equipment effectiveness through
combination of availability, efficiency, and the proportion of quality products
processed. To maximize the effectiveness of this man machine system, the
six big losses listed that interfere with its effective operation must be
eliminated:
1. Equipment failure downtime losses caused by unexpected
breakdowns
2. Set-up and adjustment downtime losses from set-up times and
adjustment such as exchanging dies in press and injection
machine
3. Idling and minor stoppages losses resulting from idling and minor
stoppages caused by the operation of sensors and blockages of
work on chutes
4. Reduced speed losses caused by the discrepancy between the
design speed and actual speed of equipment
5. Defects in process losses caused by defects and reworking of
defects
6. Reduced yield losses that occur between start-up and steady
production
Tag-out System
Tagging-out is a system to warn or let you know whether something in
your workplace should either be operated with extra care or left alone. Tags
and labels help ensure the safety of trainees/trainers/staff and prevent
improper operation of equipment.
Tagging-out consists of placing labels or hanging tags on equipment or
a part of big equipment. This gives information on the status or abnormal
condition of the equipment or special instruction in its operation. The
note/s on the tag or label, color (red- for danger, yellow for caution), size,
make-up, and the policies and procedures for enforcement may vary from
one organization to another. The tag-out activity should be logged.

Learning Objectives: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must
be able to know and understand the importance of occupational health and
safety in your workplace or training area.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area
concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged
in work or employment. Knowing OHS is essential to minimize the hazards
and risks not only to students, trainers and other people within the training
institution but others who will be affected.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a
safe work environment. As a secondary effect, OHS may also protect coworkers, family members, employers, customers, supplies, nearby
communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the
workplace environment (DOLE Occupational Health and Safety Standards
(OHSSAD) Manual).
Occupational health as stated in Wikipedia, aims at:
1. The promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical,
mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations;
2. The
prevention
among
workers
of
departures from health caused by their
working conditions;
3. The protection of workers in their
employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health;
4. The placing and maintenance of the worker
in an occupational environment adapted to
his
physiological
and
psychological
capabilities; and
5. The adaptation of work to man and each man to his job.
Reasons for occupational safety and health standards are:
Moral An employee should not have to risk injury at work, nor

should others associated with the work environment.
Economic Many governments realize that poor occupational

safety and health performance results in cost to state (e.g. through
social security payments to the incapacitated, cost for medical
treatment, and the loss of employability of the worker).

Employing organizations also sustain costs in the event of an

incident at work (such as legal fees, fines, compensatory damages,
investigation times, lost production, lost goodwill from the
workforce, from customers and from the wider community).
Legal Occupational safety and health requirements maybe

reinforced in civil law and/or criminal law, it is accepted that
without the encouragement of potential regulatory action or
litigation, many organizations would not act upon their implied
moral obligations.
Objective of the OHS Standard

The objective of OHS standard is to protect working man against the
dangers of injury, sickness or death through safe and healthful working
conditions, thereby assuring the conservation of valuable manpower
resources and the prevention of loss or damage to lives and properties.
OHS in Relation to Waste Management and Disposal of Dangerous
Chemicals
Infectious waste can be divided into three primary groups such as:
1. Liquid waste blood, other bodily fluids or culture media which is
known or suspected to be contaminated with a disease agent.
2.
Soft materials dressings, bandages, beddings, toweling etc. that are

saturated to the point that they are capable of releasing blood, body
fluids or other potentially infectious materials when handled and
compressed.
3.
Any object commonly referred to as sharp, that

has been contaminated with blood, body fluids
or other infectious agent which could penetrate
the skin or could do so if broken. Examples:
broken glass, pipettes (glass and hard plastic),
scalpel blades and lancets.
Liquid or special waste Determination and disposal are coordinated

with the Department of Environment and Department of Health and in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Liquid or special wastes
include but are not limited to:
Bactericidal or sanitizing solutions
Concrete and asphalt sealants
Degreasing agents
Floor sealers, waxes and strippers
Heating or air conditioning treatment solutions

Radioactive Waste Determination and

disposal are coordinated by the authorized agency
in accordance with local and national regulations.
Radioactive waste includes, but is not limited to:
General laboratory refuse (e.g., glassware,

paper, etc.) that is contaminated with
radioactive materials.
Liquid wastes which includes a radioactive

material component, and
The remains of animals that contain

radioactive materials as a result of administration of such material
for research.
Radioactive waste is required to be labeled in accordance with
procedures established by the radiation safety office and typically exhibits
the universal radiation precaution symbol for radiation.
Hazardous or Chemical Waste Determination and disposal are
coordinated with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in
accordance with local, state and federal regulations. Hazardous or chemical
waste includes but is not limited to any stock chemical or chemical reagent
that may inhibit one or more of the following physical hazards.
Corrosivity The material has a pH, whether acidic or basic, that will
corrode steel or injure human tissue. This includes materials with a pH
less than 5 or greater than 10, regardless of strength of the acid or base.
Ignitibility The material presents a significant fire
hazard at room temperature.
Reactivity The material reacts violently with
water, forms potentially explosive mixtures with
water, generates toxic gases, vapors or fumes when
mixed with waste, or is unstable and can undergo
a violent physical change.
Toxicity The materials exhibit a significant characteristic or toxicity to
human health or the environment.

GOOD OHS PRACTICE

Disaster Plan
There should be plan in place to deal with any emergency. The nature
of emergency can vary from fire and chemical spills, and all the obvious
hazards that these present, to power and water failures that can lead to
unsafe working conditions.
Training and Providing Relevant Information
Awareness of the problems and positive approach to prevention is the
key to good OH&S practice. Many accidents and injuries can be avoided by
providing staff with appropriate training. Up to date
information regarding safe work practices, equipment
safety and chemical information should be readily
available in the workplace. Much of this information is
available as poster and charts. The benefits of this can
be seen in staff morale, productivity and the quality of
work. Other benefits can be seen in terms of reduced in
insurance premium, compensations and rehabilitation claims.
Work and Storage areas
With the safety of material in mind, work and storage areas should be
designed, constructed, and equipped to ensure that there is minimum risk to
archive material or staff. Work and storage areas must be kept free of food
and drinks, harmful contaminants, pollutants or vermin and harmful
radiation.
Exits, passageway, stairs and equipment access
areas should be kept clear of obstruction; including
stored materials or materials and equipment in use.
Obstruction can be potential hazard.
Near Miss and Hazardous Incidents and Accident Investigation
Near misses and hazardous incidents are those in which no one gets
hurt and where no material or equipment is damage, but have the potential
to cause damage or harm. Step should be taken to eliminate causes as soon
as possible, and while rectifying initial problem ensures that is does not
create a danger to anyone else. Regular safety inspections of a workplace
can help to ensure that wherever possible accidents are prevented from
occurring. It is very useful to develop a safety checklist that is appropriate to
the workplace.
Supervisors should be trained to understand and recognize the
occupational health and safety risk and needs in the area they are
responsible for. This will enable them to fulfill their duty in regard to
accidents are work related accidents which results in serious injury.

Report of Notifiable Accidents, Incidents and Dangerous Occurrences

Records of reports and witness statements of notifiable accidents,
incidents and dangerous occurrences will need to be preserved in the event
of future claims or litigation. There are also valuable in identifying hazard
and improvements that may still be needed to prevent further accidents.
First Aid
First Aid Officers are responsible for taking positive action to prevent
further injury to staff, to render fist aid treatment in
accordance with their approved training, and to keep
record of treatment provided.
First Aid Officers are also responsible for ensuring
that the first aid box or kit in their workplace is kept
fully stock and accessible, and for ensuring that the
rest room or first aid room is kept in good condition.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the last line of defense for
protecting workers. The second line of defense should involve intervention
along the path, that is, adjustment of the work procedure itself and/or the
introduction of mechanical devices to minimize the exposure of workers to
occupational health or safety hazards: e.g., dust collectors, welding fume
extraction units, exhaust fans, welding screens, etc. The implementation of
safe work practices and safe job procedures should also include the proper
selection, care and use of PPE.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is widely
used in construction because the hazards cannot be
effectively controlled by using engineering or
administrative controls. An example of an engineering
control is designing the job/task/tool to eliminate the
risk such as using tools equipped with dust collectors
or using a guard on a saw. An example of an
administrative control is posting signs to restrict
access to an area.
Hazard and Risk Control
A control program consists of all steps necessary to protect workers
from exposure to a substance or system, and the procedures required to
monitor worker exposure and their health to hazards such as chemicals,
materials or substance, or other types such as noise and vibration. A written
workplace hazard control program should outline which methods are being
used to control the exposure and how these controls will be monitored for
effectiveness.

A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health

effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.
Basically, a hazard can cause harm or adverse effects (to individuals as
health effects or to organizations as property or equipment losses).
Sometimes a hazard is referred to as being the actual harm or the health
effect it caused rather than the hazard.
Workplace hazards can come from a wide range of sources, such as:
Workplace Hazard
Thing
Substance
Material
Source of energy
Condition
Process
Practice
Example of Hazard
Example of Harm Caused
Knife
Cut
Benzene
Leukemia
Asbestos
Mesothelioma
Electricity
Shock, electrocution
Wet floor
Slips, falls
Welding
Metal fume fever
Hard rock mining
Silicosis
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or

experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply
to situations with property or equipment loss.
Factors that influence the degree of risk include:
How much a person is exposed to a hazardous thing or condition,
How the person is exposed (e.g., breathing in a vapor, skin

contact); and
How severe are the effects under the conditions of exposure.

Among the critical factors in hazard and risk control is the use of PPE
and firefighting equipment. Section 2 of RA 9514, otherwise known as the
Revised Fire Code of the Philippines of 2008 states the policy of the State to
ensure public safety and promote economic development through the
prevention and suppression of all kinds of destructive fires. Henceforth, the
State shall enforce all laws, rules and regulations to ensure adherence to
standard fire prevention and safety measures... Section 4 embodies the
provisions of the Fire Code... shall apply to all persons and all private and
public buildings, facilities or structures erected or
constructed...
Elimination or Reduction of Hazardous Materials and
Substance
Normally, even hazardous materials such as
cleaning agents made of corrosive chemicals, are continuously used. A
company should be resourceful in dealing with this issue. They may
minimize the use, or find alternative materials that are not harmful or less
harmful to men and its environment.

Waste Management
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you must be able to:
1. Understand and appreciate the importance of waste management;
2. Know and identify the related policies, laws, rules and regulations;
and
3. Apply proper waste management in the workplace.
In the maintenance of training facilities, concern on waste management
is vital. Improper or mega dosage use of cleaning chemicals, mounting
packing materials of delivered equipment/tools and empty or used
containers, limited storing, recycling and disposal area of wastes coming
from training workshops, i.e. welding stubs, electronic devices, are few of
the issues to be dealt with in this topic.
Waste Management
Waste management is the collection, transport,
processing, recycling or disposal of waste materials,
usually ones by human activity, in an effort to reduce
their effect on human health or local aesthetics or
amenity. A sub focus in recent decades has been to
reduce the effect of waste materials on the
environment and to recover resources from them.
Waste management practices differ for developed
and developing countries, for urban and rural area and for residential and
industrial produces. Management for non-hazardous residential and
institutional waste in metropolitan areas is usually the responsibility of local
government authorities, while management for non-hazardous commercial
and industrial waste is usually the responsibility of the generator.
Waste management can involve solid, liquid or gaseous substances
with different methods and
fields of expertise for each.

Recycle which classify waste management strategies according to their

desirability in terms of waste minimization. The waste hierarchy remains the
cornerstone of most waste minimization strategies. The aim of waste
hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefit from products and to
generate the minimum amount of waste.
Recycling is processing used materials as waste into new products to
prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of
fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from
incineration, water pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste
disposal, and lower greenhouse gas as compared to virgin production.
Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third
component of the waste hierarchy.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal,
plastic, textiles and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or
other reuse of biodegradable wastes such as food or garden waste is not
typically considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to
a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and
reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.
In the strictest sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh
supply of the same material, i.e., used office paper would be converted into
new office paper, or used foamed polystyrene into new polystyrene. However,
this is often difficult
or too expensive
(compared
with
producing
the
same product from
raw materials or
other sources), so
recycling
of
many products or
materials involve
their
reuse
in
producing
different materials
(e.g.,
paperboard)
instead.
Diagram 4
Another form
of recycling is
the
salvage
of
certain materials
from
complex
products, either
due
to
their
intrinsic
value
(e.g., lead from car batteries), or due to their hazardous nature (e.g., removal
and reuse of mercury from various items).

Waste Management of Training Refuse

The waste management system is both an environmental and social
issue with the existing international policies and laws including the growing
concern for global warming, its strict observance is necessary. Wastes
caused by training and learning activities should be determined and
identified, minimized (3Rs) and proper use and storage be undertaken in
accordance with OH&S. Some wastes produce in training and typical
segregation/disposal activities are:
entrails, bones, head of fish (as main material) in food
processing and commercial cooking courses (which we
usually segregate as food for other animals, dried and
processed (recycled) as another product, or dumped/placed
for composting to produce organic fertilizer); packaging
materials of other supplies (plastic sachets or bottles of salt,
pepper, vinegar); water used in washing/cleaning and
processing
used tires (can be recycled as rubber pots) busted lights, and
broken glass/mirrors from the vehicle as equipment in
Automotive Servicing and Driving courses; used oil, grease,
empty cans/bottles/receptacles of lubricants,/oil, liquid
battery (as cleansing agent for urinals), and used spark plugs,
as waste from supplies/materials.

able to understand the different types of maintenance and maintenance
program.
Maintenance is work that is done regularly to keep equipment,
building and grounds in good condition and working order. We need to learn
the different kinds of maintenance in order to identify the activities and
proper procedures in the management of facilities as well as the time, money
and materials involved.
The
principal
objectives
of
maintenance can be clearly defined as
follows:
1.
To extend the useful life of assets

(i.e. every part of the site, building
and contents).
2.
To assure the optimum availability of installed equipment for

protection (or service) and obtain the maximum possible return of
investment.
3.
To ensure operational readiness of

equipment required for emergency use.
4.
To ensure

The best source of information about scheduled

maintenance is from the manufacturer. The owners
portfolio that came with the product when it was new
should include a scheduled maintenance booklet that
may be incorporated in with the owners manual or it
may be a separate booklet. If the maintenance
schedule
booklet
cannot
be
found,
most
manufacturers will have that information on their website. Simply do as
search for the manufacturer on the Internet. When the manufacturers site
is located, look for a tab for owner information and the maintenance
schedule should be found there.
A.1
Preventive
Maintenance
Maintenance
performed to PREVENT or FIND failures BEFORE
they develop into a breakdown.
Time-based Maintenance based on calendar

days or running hours or usage. (Inspection, cleaning, lubrication,
programmed replacement and repairs). Example: Change oil every
month or every 5,000 km.
Conditioned-based Maintenance visual monitoring and condition

monitoring technique (temperature, hydraulic fluid wear, surface
condition, crack, leaks, vibration, corrosion/erosion, electric
insulation, etc.).
A.2
Predictive
Maintenance
Maintenance
performed at a predetermined periods when the
maintenance activity is most cost effective and before
the equipment fails. The conditioning of equipment
maybe done by the trainees or out-sourced based on
the schedule of the vehicle maintenance. There are
manufacturers or dealers who also provide after sales
service or simply provide maintenance exclusive of
products they produced.
A.2.1 Corrective Maintenance Maintenance tasks initiated as a
result of the observed or measured condition of an asset or system,
before or after functional failure, to
correct the problem. It is performed to
REPAIR,
RESTORE,
REPLACE
or
CORRECT a failure. This activity may
consists Corrective maintenance maybe
planned or unplanned.

A.2.2 Controlled Maintenance (or Proactive Maintenance)

maintenance performed to stabilize the reliability of machines or
equipment or to condition improvement/enhancement of
equipment. Example: Engine overhaul.
A.2.3 Breakdown Maintenance (or Reactive Maintenance) it is
maintenance performed as a reaction to failure or fails while in
operation. Example: Repair of vehicle when the vehicle broke down
while on travel
B.
Unplanned Maintenance Maintenance performed
unexpectedly
B.1 Emergency maintenance performed to put the
item on hand IMMEDIATELY to avoid serious
consequences, i.e. loss of production, disrupted
schedule, extensive damage to assets, idle workers or for safety
reasons. Example: A hacksaw blade breaks-up during operation,
this is an unplanned situation, what you need to do is buy new
blade and replace it.
Emergency maintenance repairs should be requested as soon as you
become aware of a problem. The maintenance staff will respond to
emergencies as soon as possible to make necessary repairs with or without
an appointment. There are instances where you have to notify the security
personnel, the fire department, or other concerned office if the emergency
will cause serious damage to property and for safety reasons.

Maintenance Procedures and Practices
Learning Outcome: After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you must be
able to know the common maintenance procedures and practices of training
facilities as a reference in the development of your maintenance program.
It is important to learn the different procedures and practices in the
maintenance of training equipment in order to draw from these and plan the
suitable maintenance program for our own organizations.
Maintenance of Tools and Equipment
The proper use of the training tools and
equipment is the first and foremost task in the
maintenance. They must be able to use them in
accordance to the manufacturers manuals, as this
would evidently extend the life of the equipment and
tools. The Manual would indicate the part of the
equipment, the functions of each part and the way to
maintain it. We must always refer to it for reference.
The users manuals must be kept handy and within
the Trainer or designated area for immediate
reference.
Maintenance Procedures and Practices
Maintenance procedures and practices differ from one school or to
another. Simple procedures may work in a small organization or in a
medium-sized school with organized structure. The more complex an
organization, the more complex the system is. Hence, the adoption of
computerized system in maintenance is prescribed.
Inventory is initially prepared to check the items that are present,
available for use, operational, and adequate for the training activities. As to
the presence of the items, the trainer ought to check
if the items such as chemicals, has not yet expired
or its utilization is before its expiration dates. For
equipment, it is advisable to check if all the parts are
still functional, i.e. elasticity of rubber, strength of
coil, etc. It is best to inspect during the inventory,
the status of training materials to be indicated in the
inventory as basis for requisition. The stored
training materials and its location/position in the storeroom/tool room, i.e.
tools, equipment, extension wires, PPEs, should also be inspected. There
may be cases where stored oiled seeped in welding gloves which may cause

accidents during its use, electric wires has cuts or open wires after storage
for long periods, chisel or blades have chipped ends due to mishandling.
In the requesting of required training materials, it is essential to
indicate the complete specifications of the items in order to secure the
needed items and ensure delivery of quality items. This is important to
prevent accidents, damage or injury caused by the usage or presence of lowquality materials in the workshop area.
The training facilities should also be inspected. For example, in
Plumbing - check the steady supply of water, if there are leaks in pipes, if
faucets are in order; in Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, in case of
additional equipment, check if the power supply can still accommodate,
adequate outlets are available. If the items are not yet ready but it is
necessary to run the training program, tagging-out shall be useful. Taggingout, when properly conducted and reported, will serve as basis for
appropriate action, i.e. repair, purchase of required parts. In this case, a
work order/request or job order form (sample is shown in Template #10)
comes in to be submitted by the trainer or in-charge of the facility. In big
organization, tagging-out is a major activity and audits are conducted
periodically. Others have index or ledger cards to reflect the equipment or
facility tagged-out.

Importance of Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is the regular inspection and repair of
equipment and facilities to prevent extensive, costly damage from occurring
over time. Preventive maintenance can go a long way toward reducing the
overall cost of your training facilities and equipment, as large expenditures
for repairs and replacements can often be avoided by a careful attention to
detail. Following a thorough preventive maintenance checklist can help you
to delay the deterioration of the structure or equipment and lessen your
maintenance costs in the long run.
Generally, preventive maintenance is practiced to avert further damage
to properties and to people and subsequent financial loss. Though costly at
first, preventive maintenance is better.
Inspections
Perform regular inspections on all equipment and
facilities that are subject to damage or normal wear and
tear. Inspect such things as roofs, pools, insulation,
ventilation systems and appliances to ensure that they are
operating safely and efficiently. Make inspection a priority
among
your
trainees
especially
if
it
the
course/qualification is related, i.e. RAC students to check on insulation,
ventilation; create thorough checklists that must be marked off and signed
by the inspecting group or authorized person, and hold inspectors
accountable for the thoroughness of their examinations.
Cleaning
Stick to a regular cleaning schedule for fixtures such
as air ducts, pools and exterior siding to ensure that dirt,
mildew and other buildup does not cause any damage.
Clean and replace filters in heating and air conditioning
units, as well as appliances such as washing machines
and dryers (CES class can be assigned to this), to prevent
fire damage. New or cleaned filters also help to keep
electricity costs down, as the appliances can operate more
efficiently with an unrestricted flow of air.
Pest Control
Bring pest control specialists into your facility at least
once per year, even if your students have not complained
about pests. Common pests such as cockroaches and
termites can increase their populations rapidly and can
quickly infest an entire property, causing extensive
damage to interiors and electrical infrastructure. Act

proactively to ensure that pests do not gain a foothold, and respond quickly
to any pest complaints.
Testing
Test emergency equipment such as sprinkler systems, smoke alarms
and fire extinguishers to ensure that they remain in working order. Properly
maintained safety equipment can prevent a small mishap from becoming a
major disaster. Consider hiring a third-party service provider to audit your
safety systems to ensure that they go above and beyond minimum state
requirements; it can be well worth the extra investment in the case of a fire
or other damaging event. This can be included in the Maintenance Manual.
Sealants
Initiate the reapplication of all sealants at least once
every 5 years. Sealants such as deck waterproofing, exterior
paint and window caulking can corrode over time, exposing
your facility to the risk of internal damage. Reapplying
these substances every few years not only helps to keep your structure
strong, it can also cut down on energy and repair bills in the future.
Budget
Encourage
the
allotment or setting aside
an
ample
budget
for
preventive
maintenance
procedures
at
the
beginning of each year. If
you try to save money by
scrimping on preventive
maintenance expenditures,
you may save a small
amount in the short run,
but you stand to lose a
much larger amount when
a
full-scale
repair
or
replacement is needed. Set
aside enough money to
spend wisely on preventive maintenance without cutting into your operating
budget.

Document Maintenance Inspection
Learning objectives: After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able
to:
1. know and understand the relevance of documentation and
reporting; and
2. identify and determine the proper forms to use in maintenance
activities.
There is a need to put into writing the different activities pertaining to
the maintenance of the facilities and equipment and other learning materials
in the training institution explaining how your system works, how to use
such facilities and equipment, how to maintain and how to dispose them if
their useful life has ended.
Complete, accurate, and current documentation
is essential to an effective maintenance program.
Whether performing preventive, predictive, conditionbased, or reliability-centered maintenance, keeping
track of equipment condition and maintenance
performed and plannedis critical.
Importance of Documentation
Documentation is a must in the modern world. Essentially, quality
documentation is the type of documentation where a physical process or
activity is conveyed through the medium of writing by having it noted down
in a document of some kind. This is a necessity due to several reasons. Most
importantly, it allows errors to be isolated and successes to be replicated.
Documentation also helps you to guard against the risk of potential
litigation.
One of the most important parts of running any successful or
organization is to make sure that you always have clear precise
documentation of every single important transaction, process, and action
that takes place. This will allow you to have a clear reference point whenever
anything is in question. Additionally, the chances of processes and actions
deviating from their expected results are very low when there is a
comprehensive and systematic database of documentation concerning the
appropriate requirements and procedures that need to be implemented.
Reason for Documentation
The reason for the reporting and documentation process is to collect
data that can be used to optimized efficiency and enable cost- effective
decisions and actions. It gives those carrying out the works the information
they need. Documents are also used to prepare cost estimates and to obtain
tenders from prospective contractors.

Complete, accurate, and current documentation is essential to an

effective maintenance program. Whether performing preventive, predictive,
condition-based, or reliability-centered maintenance, keeping track of
equipment condition and maintenanceperformed and plannedis critical.
Documentation should be prepared by qualified personnel. The key to
good documentation is to correctly identify the problem to be solved, and
hence to specify an appropriate solution. The nature and extent of the work
must then be clearly conveyed to those who will do it. This information sheet
discusses firstly what to document, and secondly how.
Other documents that are important relative to maintenance are
drawings and specification.
Drawings are usually the most efficient way to
convey what something looks like, how big it is and
how it fits together. It is important for the trainer to be
provided with the drawing of the machines under their
custody to be able to identify probable defects or
missing part. Drawings could provide the relevant
information to the technician if repairs are done in-house. Trainers should
maintain a ledger card for this purpose.

A specification is a written description of the materials and

techniques to be used in the work. Most project specifications incorporate
references to standard specifications.
Maintenance Forms
Typical forms used in maintenance either in preventive or emergency
repairs are Breakdown/Repair Report. Others have Incident/Observation
Report Form. In requesting work, Job Order or Work Request
Form is used.
At times, pre-inspection is done before repair. Another
inspection is done after the conditioning or repair of
equipment. This activity is documented in an Inspection Report

A historical record is a basic component of any

maintenance system. All maintenance and repair activity
of an equipment item should be reported for inclusion in
an historical record. A single record that contains the
complete maintenance history of the item, including
preventive maintenance, breakdown, repair, and rebuild
data should be maintained.
The minimal information required to establish a record in a system
should consist of the following four items:
an identification number for the piece of equipment or work

activity (What)
the location of the maintenance work (Where)
a determination of what operations are to be performed and how

often (Why, when, and How)
a judgment as to what craft skills is required to perform the

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Housekeeping would cover those janitorial and grounds keeping activities necessary to
provide clean and orderly facilities and grounds.
Inspection would involved periodic inspection of equipment to insure safe and proper
operation, assuring that periodic maintenance is performed, control of the quality of the
work accomplished by maintenance craftsmen ,inspection of materials and parts received
from vendors, and examination of items removed during repair or overhaul operations to
determine the feasibility of repair.
Maintenance would consist of the lubricating, adjusting, and routine replacement usually
classified as preventive maintenance. It would also include work necessary to restore
equipment to operation on a quick-fix basis in the event of a breakdown.
Organizing in a maintenance department is the grouping of activities necessary to achieve
the mission of the department and the assignment of each group to supervisor.
Overhaul would involve the
reassembly, and testing.
reconditioning
of equipment:
teardown,
replacement,
Periodic maintenance is preferred over preventive maintenance because a comprehensive

program encompasses maintenance operations that go beyond the prevention of equipment
breakdown. Properly planned, a periodic maintenance program can effectively identified
who, what, when, where, why, and how specific repetitive operations are to be performed . .
. expand a system to schedule repetitive inspection and maintenance of building
equipment, utility distribution systems, janitorial services, grounds keeping and gardening
activities, and the painting of buildings.
A specific work order is prepared to accomplish each of these types of periodic
maintenance system. Where several kinds of maintenance are required for a given item, a
separate schedule is established for each operation. For example, a machine tool may have
separate schedules for lubrication, electrical checks, mechanical checks, and tolerance
checks. For each of these activities, a separate work order is generated at the prescribed
time and distributed to the appropriate craft skill.
Planning involves the selection of objectives and the determination of the policies,
programs, and procedures to be used for the achievement of the selected objectives.
Repair would consist of replacing parts to restore a piece of equipment to full operating
condition, and to alleviate undesirable conditions found during periodic maintenance or
breakdown.
Responsibilities that are normally assigned to the maintenance department are the health
and safety of the public and employees, minimization of downtime hours on production or
building equipment, housekeeping and keeping the general appearance of the facilities
presentable. The ultimate goal should be to optimize the use of every maintenance dollar
spent in achieving the assigned mission.
Salvage would involve the reclamation and disposition of surplus material and scrap.
Scheduling is a method of planning that cites specific objectives to be accomplished in
relation to time. Inherent maintenance program is the use of schedules to delineate when
specific types of maintenance are to be performed.The major thrust of work scheduling is
to improve the efficiency of the maintenance department.
