INFORMATIONS SHEET No. 4.1-1
Hazards and Risks Identification and Control

Learning Objective:

After reading the information sheet, you should be able to:


1. Identify safety regulations in the workplace.
2. Define hazard.
3. Differentiate the different types and methods of hazards.
Hazard Identification

The first step in reducing the likelihood of an accident is hazard


identification. Hazard identification is identifying all situations or events
that could cause injury or illness. Eliminating or minimizing workplace
hazards needs a systematic approach. It is essential to try and anticipate
all possible hazards at the workplace - known as the `what if?' approach.

Hazards Defined

A hazard is a source or potential source of human injury, ill health or


disease. Anything which might cause injury or ill health to anyone at or
near a workplace is a hazard. While some hazards are fairly obvious and
easy to identify, others are not - for example exposure to noise, chemicals
or radiation.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 9


Types of Hazards

Hazards are classified into five different types:

• physical - includes floors, stairs, work platforms, steps, ladders, fire,


falling objects, slippery surfaces, manual handling (lifting, pushing,
pulling), excessively loud and prolonged noise, vibration, heat and cold,
radiation, poor lighting, ventilation, air quality

• mechanical and/or electrical - includes electricity, machinery,


equipment, pressure vessels, dangerous goods, fork lifts, cranes, hoists

• chemical - includes chemical substances such as acids or poisons and


those that could lead to fire or explosion, cleaning agents, dusts and fumes
from various processes such as welding

• biological - includes bacteria, viruses, mould, mildew, insects, vermin,


animals

• psychosocial environment - includes workplace stressors arising from


a variety of sources.

Note that some physical and chemical hazards can lead to fire, explosion and
other safety hazards.

Methods for Identifying Hazards

 injury and illness records - review your workers' compensation data


and check the incidence, mechanism and agency of injury, and the
cost to the organization. These statistics can be analyzed to alert the
organization to the presence of hazards
 staying informed on trends and developments in workplace health
and safety, for example via the internet or OHS publications
 reviewing the potential impact of new work practices or equipment
introduced into the workplace in line with legislative requirements
 doing walk-through surveys, inspections or safety audits in the
workplace to evaluate the organization’s health and safety system
 considering OHS implications when analyzing work processes
 investigating workplace incidents and `near hits' reports - in some
cases there may be more than one hazard contributing to an incident

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 10


 getting feedback from employees can often provide valuable
information about hazards, because they have hands-on experience
in their work area
 consulting with employees, health and safety representatives and
OHS Committee members
 benchmarking against or liaising with similar workplaces.

INFORMATION SHEET 4.1-2

Organizational Safety and Health Protocol

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the student/


trainee should be able to;
1. Discuss safety protocols.
2. Demonstrate their commitment to ensure health and safety
measures
In their workplace.

Organizational safety and Health Protocols


Internal Factors Impacting Workplace Health & Safety

Companies must ensure that employees are protected from safety and
health hazards.

The administration of an organization can pose health and safety risks


if the internal environment is not maintained and monitored appropriately
by a company. Business executives must adopt safety behaviors into their
leadership practices, since companies are charged with the task of ensuring
the health and safety of their staff. As such, organizations should examine
what steps they can take in order to protect employees from risks and
dangers.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 14


1. Internal Factors

o The attitude a business has towards maintaining the health and


safety of its employees is an internal factor that employees rely on to
be protected from dangers and threats in the workplace. According
to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), employees have the right to feel safe while on
the job, and employers have the obligation to ensure their safety.
There are many ways that businesses can effectively manage the
health and safety of their employees.

Safety Councils

o Businesses can demonstrate their commitment to ensuring health


and safety measures by creating safety management councils. These
committees may be in charge of evaluating workplace conditions and
employee health risks, and then taking the proper measures to make
sure the office is well-equipped to deal with any threats. Safety
councils are often responsible for creating safety protocols and
performing safety drills.

Safety Protocols

o . Developing safety protocols allows companies to keep written


policies and procedures about how to prevent hazards from occurring
in the workplace, as well as provide instructions on how to respond
if employees' health or safety are threatened. Safety protocols should
be easily accessible for anyone in the company to review.

Education

o Education is an effective way for businesses to maintain their


commitment to safety. By providing training modules to employees,
employers can educate staff on things like how to stay healthy during
flu season, how to prevent physical injuries on the job, how to keep
work areas sanitized and how to use protective equipment in the case
of emergencies.

Conducting Safety Drills

o Disaster drills are valuable because they teach people how to respond
in a time of urgency. Such exercises prepare people to coordinate efforts
and put their safety skills to work. Many businesses conduct safety drills,
such as fire or disaster drills, to keep employees on their toes about how to
respond in the case that their safety is in danger.

These sorts of exercises are important, so employers may gather statistics,


such as how long evacuations take, which can then be used to determine
more effective and efficient ways to keep employees safe.

1. Prevent exposure to substances which could be hazardous to their
health.

2. Distinguish appropriate types of measurement that can affect the

health.

The key to preventing exposure to substances, which could be

hazardous to health, depends on the first two steps mentioned – recognition

of the hazard or potential hazard, and, evaluation of the extent of the

hazard. People in the workplace may encounter hazards from several

sources. An important means of evaluation is measurement to determine

the extent of the threat.

MEASUREMENT – WHICH TECHNIQUE

The health effects of exposure to toxic substances can be acute or


chronic. It will therefore be necessary to distinguish appropriate types of
measurement:

1. Long term measurements which access the average exposures of a

person over an extended time period.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 17


Continuous measurements capable of detecting short-term exposures to
high concentrations of short-term exposure to high concentrations of
contaminants, which cause an acute exposure.

2. Spot readings can be used to measure acute hazards if the exact point

of time of exposure is known and the measurement is taken at that time,

chronic hazards may be assessed if a significant number of


measurements are made.

SUMMARY OF MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES


For chronic hazards - continuous personal dose measurements,

continuous measurement of average background levels, spot readings of

contaminant levels at selected positions and times.


For acute hazards; – continuous personal monitoring with rapid

response, continuous background monitoring with response, spot

readings of background contaminant levels as selected positions and

times.

For analysis of whether area is safe to enter: direct reading instruments.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 18


Particle qualitative and quantitative analysis can be carried out by direct

reading measurements

Occupational Health and Safety Indicators

Learning objectives:

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the student/


trainee should be able to;

1. Know what is an occupational health and its indicators


2. Identify trends and patterns of work-related injury, illness, and death

Health and Safety Indicators

What is an occupational health and safety indicator?

An occupational health and safety indicator is a specific measure of a


work-related disease or injury, or a factor associated with occupational
health, such as workplace exposures, hazards, or interventions, in a
specified population. Indicators can be generated by states to track
trends in the occupational health status of the working population.
Examples of occupational health indicators include counting the number
of work-related deaths and work-related pesticide poisonings.

Why use occupational health and safety indicators?

 Measure baseline health of worker populations

 Identify trends and patterns of work-related injury, illness, and death

 Anticipate early problem areas that deserve attention

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 20


 Reduce preventable workplace injuries

 Increase consistency and availability of occupational disease and injury


surveillance data

What occupational health indicators are generated?


Most state public health or labor departments calculate the 19
occupational health indicators listed below. Depending on the type of
industries and jobs in a state and the availability of data, some states have
developed additional indicators to better measure worker health in their
state. At the current time,

Table 1. The 19 occupational health and safety indicators

Occupational Illnesses and Injuries Combined


Indicator 1: Non-fatal injuries and illnesses reported by employers
Indicator 2: Work-related hospitalizations

Acute and Cumulative Occupational Injuries


Indicator 3: Fatal work-related injuries
Indicator 4: Amputations reported by employers

Indicator 5: Amputations identified in state workers’ compensation

Indicator 19: Workers’ compensation awards

Common health and safety indicators can be divided into two – frequency
rates and incidence rates. So what’s the difference?

A frequency rate is an expression of how many events happened over a


given period of time by a standardized number of hours worked. An
incidence rate is the number of events that happened over a given period
time by a standardized number of employees (usually lower than the
standardized number of hours).

philosophy of avoiding such occupational hazards as best options. It such
were the choice, then one has to meditate till death by sitting under a tree
without taking up any job.

We may loudly think that only employees in the factory are susceptible
to such problems. But truth is that every employee is susceptible to such
occupation related problems. The problems are more pronounced in people
who spent long years in an organization.

Generally perceived understanding about occupation related problems


are limited to physical deformities. For example the people who are working
in tanneries prone to develop skin related problems while people in the
quarries will tend to develop more of upper respiratory problems. Many
such examples we can cite to show what occupational hazards are.

To minimize the risk due to an occupation, various regular medical check


ups have been done and made them mandatory for industry. The

b. Presentation

According to Chavez et. Al (2012, p. 1) “Communication of today demands that


both sender and receiver of the message take an active part in the process. It is a two-
way process. The older the earth has grown, the more complex it has become for people
to communicate”.

Communication involves sending and receiving messages through different


channels. No matter if one speaks intimately to a friend or addresses a huge crowd in
a conference, in formal business meetings, or writing an academic report we all direct
our messages to an audience. It is the responsibility of the sender to deliver his
message effectively.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 34


c. Lesson

Communication is an active process between the sender and receiver. It is an


interaction of channels involved to produce a sound. There are principles to consider
in the process of communication (Chavez et. Al, pp. 2-4)

For students to be equipped with proper knowledge, values and skills, a field of
experience and social interaction is necessary. In the many models of communication,
the Interactive Model is also a representation of this purpose. It presents that
communication is not only a two way process but it has a “field of experience” which
includes our cultural background, ethnicity, geographic location, extend of travel and -
general personal experiences (http://iact.com/?q=models).

Principles of Communication Activity:

1. Know your audience


- You know who you are talking or addressing your speech.

2. Know your purpose


- It important to know your purpose of discussion

3. Know your topic


- A speaker addressing a conference should be prepared as far as the topic
assigned is concerned.

4. Anticipate objections
- You cannot expect everybody to easily agree with you on certain matters. It
is a normal thing to notice some people who would go against you with what
you are saying.

5. Present a rounded picture


- Explain every detail of information with all the possible sources.

6. Achieve credibility with your audience.


- How it is achieved? A credible speaker sticks to the truth no matter what.
He cites figures and facts from respected authorities too.

7. Follow through on what you say.


- Be consistent with what you have started. If you are on the positive side of
the issue, move along on the same plane. Avoid presenting the opposite
which only confuses the audience.

8. Communicate a little at a time.


- Present your ideas logically. Release the key point one after the other. It will
allow listeners to digest well what you have discussed.

9. Present information in several ways


- Develop the art of expressing information differently. Helpful devices maybe
in the form of anecdote, a poem, a short story, a comparison and many
others.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 35


10. Develop a practical and useful way to get feedback.
- Immediate feedback is required.

Communication Techniques:

1. The Good Old Boy is referred to the experienced speaker who the audience is
familiar with. He may deliver good information but at times he may poorly delivered it.

2. The Entertainer is the speaker who uses anecdotes or hilarious stories in delivering
messages.

3. The Academic is the speaker who keeps an eye on the precision of the
presentation. He uses an organized outline and delivers the message as planned.

4. The Reader is the one who reads his script word for word. The speaker is prepared
of the message but at times, it can be technical, boring and difficult to understand.

5. The Snail is the one who drags his speech in a seemingly endless manner. He
tends to discuss each item thoroughly. He can be too detailed of the message but he
would not notice the time consumed for each discussion anymore.

6. The Gadgeteer is the person who uses every gimmick and technique in the
presentation. Too much visual aid, the speaker may lose sight of the message.

Thoughts to Ponder:

Why do we need to communicate?

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 39


How do we survive without communication?

Lesson

Cayanan and Chan (as cited in Chavez, et. al, 2012, pp. 37-38) that there are
major functions of communication such as utilitarian, aesthetic, and therapeutic.

a. Utilitarian. Human beings use oral communication to fulfill one’s desires,


needs and goals in life. We communicate to express our thoughts, and feelings to
others.

b. Aesthetic. Art is beauty. Aesthetic communication is manifested through


television, radio, stage presentations and the like.

c. Therapeutic. Communication is important because it maintains good health.

According to Singh , words are used in communication to express opinion and


ideas. Even animals like cats and dogs have their system of communication. Singh
also stressed these three fundamental aspects of spoken communication namely:
stress, intonation and rhythm (as cited in Chavez, et. al, 2012, p. 8)

Emissions Any air contaminant, pollutant, gas stream from a


known source which is introduced into the
atmosphere.

Final Drive The end of the drive train before power is transmitted
to the wheels.

Fuel Injection An electronic system that increases the performance


ad fuel economy because it monitors engine
conditions and provides the correct air/fuel mixture
based on the engine’s demand. It injects fuel directly
into the cylinder head enabling more precise control
over the quantity used.

Governor A speed sensing device that employs centrifugal force


and spring tension to govern engine speed.

Hotchkiss Drive The type of rear suspension in which leaf springs


absorbs the rear axle housing torque.

Intake Manifold Tubing attached to the engine through which the


air/fuel mixture reaches the cylinder.

Ignition System Electrical system devised to produce timed sparks


from engine spark plug. Consisting of a battery,

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 56


induction coil, capacitor, distributor, spark plugs and
relevant switches and wiring.

Master Cylinder The liquid-filled cylinder in the hydraulic brake system


or clutch, where hydraulic pressure is developed when
depresses a foot pedal.

Periodic Maintenance The regular servicing prescribed by manufacturer to


Service maintain the vehicle’s top performance.

Ventilation gases from entering the atmosphere, usually by
drawing the gases from the crank case and feeding
them into the engine’s induction system.

Power Steering Steering that has been designed to make the wheel
move more easily than in a manual steering system.
Hydraulic assists the process utilizing hydraulic fluid.
The fluid increases pressure in the power steering
pump and aids in the movement of the steering
mechanism. This fluid, called power steering fluid, is
what is replaced at regular intervals to keep steering
soft and comfortable.

Super Charged An engine that is similar to a turbo-charged engine


Engine which uses a series of belts or chains from the
crankshaft to turn the turbines that forces the
air/fuel mixture into the cylinder heads under
pressure creating a bigger explosion which generates
more power. A turbocharger uses the exhaust gases
to turn the turbines to create the same effect.

Transaxle Type of construction in which the transmission and


differential are combined in one unit.

Thermostat A device for automatic regulation of temperature

Turbo Charged A performance-increasing turbine positioned in the


Engine exhaust system. Expanding exhaust gases spin an
impeller (very small fan-type blades) at speeds up to
25 thousand rpm, driving a similar compressing
impeller. Compressed air from the driven impeller is
forced into the induction system, which squeezes
more air/fuel mixture into the combustion chambers.
With the greater charge of air and fuel, a more
powerful combustion burn results, thus more power.
The big advantage of the turbo over directly driven
superchargers is the increased efficiency, although
there is a slight lag before the turbine spins up and
increases the power output. Originally turbo were
developed to enable aircraft to fly at high altitudes,
then they found use in diesel trucks and train
engines to increase their torque.

Question:

What do you think are some of the activities that a company does in everyday’s
routine?

Lesson:

According to Gorospe et. al (2000, p. 221) that “ a letter provides a record of the
activity, and it allows the writer to provide more context or explanation than it usually
does. It helps the audience remember, what is to be done.”

Nem Singh and Calixihan (1994, p. 318) describe that business letters are
different from friendly letter in terms of format, language, style and content. Friendly
letters include content, and informal in style, and need not to follow the organizational
content.

Types of Business Letters

1. Routine Business letters are commonly used in daily business transactions. It is


consist of orders and replies to orders, transmittals, remittances, acknowledgements,
inquiry, requests for information and favors, invitation, and memoranda.

2. Claim Letter is a letter of complaint from a customer, when goods and services are
unsatisfactory, or when an error has been made. The reply is called an adjustment
letter.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 83


The outline of a direct claim is as follows:

1. State the major claim in the first sentence.


2. Explain the details supporting the claim.
3. Confidently request the action to be taken.

Example:

28 June, _____
Gentlemen:

Please send a repairman to fix the compressor of the Westinghouse refrigerator


I bought from you last 18 April. Although we followed the directions for care in the
manual, the unit has stopped working.

I shall appreciate your sending the repairman this coming Saturday since nobody
is at home on weekdays.

SALES LETTER:

According to Singh and Calixihan (pp. 319-320), “sales letter is self-explanatory.


It aims to sell a product or service. It is a form of advertising. The test of a good sales
letter is if the reader buys the product or service advertised”.

Unsolicitied sales letter has to be more convincing to arouse the reader’s


attention. It follows the acronym A-I-D:
A – attention of buyer is attractive; usually with an attention-getting opener.

I – interest of buyer is around; emphasize its central selling point.

D – desire to buy is elivited;

Solicited Sales Letters are replies to questions from prospective buyers.

Gorospe et.al (2000) quoted that “if you must write a letter to a company but do
not know the individual to whom to address it, you may address the company or a
certain office or a department of the company.

When a writer wishes to address to a particular person, he may use the


“attention line”.

For Example: Wakey Products, Inc.
1410 Grand Avenue
Detroit 2, Michigan

< 2 spaces>

Attention: Head, Drafting Department

Gentlemen:

Salutation: The Salutation is located below the last line of the inside address and flush
with the left-hand margin. Common greetings are “Dear Sir”. The greeting “Sir” should
be reserved for a very formal. “Dear Mr.______________:” is also acceptable.

In addressing a company or a group of men, use “Gentlemen.” When writing a


woman or a group of women, you may use “Dear Miss_______:” “Dear Mrs.________:”
“Dear Madam:” “Mesdames:” the only acceptable punctuation after the salutation is a
colon (:).

Body of the Letter. The body of the letter is its message. It is made up of three parts:

1. the introduction which identifies the nature of business letter


2. the message proper
3. the closing paragraph

Complimentary Close. It is the formal way of signaling the end of a letter. A comma is
used after the complimentary close.

Examples: Yours respectfully, Respectfully yours, Yours truly (not Truly yours)
Yours very truly, or Very Truly yours, Yours sincerely, or Sincerely yours,
“Respectfully submitted,” is proper for letter of transmittal to superiors,
letters of application.

Signature. Below the complimentary close, is the signature. Four to six spaces are
about right. The name of the company appears above the Signature if you wish to
emphasize the fact that you are speaking only as an instruments of the company and
not with personal responsibility.

Examples:
Yours sincerely, Yours very truly, Very truly yours,

LIST OF TRITE OR OUTMOTED EXPRESSIONS

“ Listed below are commonly overused expressions in business letters. Their


modern equivalent are listed opposite them (Singh and Calixihan, pp, 324-326).

1. According to our records; our records indicate (Avoid this.)

- Say directly “ Your last payment was due on (say exact date.)

2. At an early date – soon

- Say directly “Soon” is an improvement. Or give the exact date if necessary.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 88


3. At this time – now

- the expression means “now,” so why not say “now”? It is shorter and more original

4. At this writing – now

- When else could it be? Say “now” if an expression is necessary.


- Say “Just as you can,” or “by next Monday morning.”

5. Attached please find; please find enclosed

These expressions are overworked. Say, “Enclosed is…” or better still, refer to the
enclosure in a sentence that also says something else, such as “Refer to page 7 of the
enclosed folder to see the basic steps of operation.

6. Claim; complaint (Avid these words)

Avoid these words because they suggest negative thoughts. No one wants to learn
that his letter asking for a legitimate adjustment has been branded as “complaint.”

7. Legal Terms

Hereto, herewith, hereby, said, above, same, thereof, wherein, hereinafter – all these
words are overused law terms.

Pursuant to your request; referring to your request; in reference to your letter. These

Question:

In our workplace, remember the phrase, “okay class, you put your thoughts in
writing.” This is often heard in offices and in industry to make sure that a message is
recorded, evaluated and acted upon.

Technical writing is a a type of writing used by scientists and engineers in


scientific and technical expositions. It is characterized by formal elements as an
attitude of impartiality, objectivity, accuracy, and conciseness (Singh and Calixihan,
p.1).

Lesson:

Technical writing is a method of researching and creating information about


technical processes or products. That information can then be distributed to users as
printed manuals or online guides so they can perform tasks. Examples of technical
writing include car repair manuals, help text for database software and FAQs for
troubleshooting cameras. (Locsin, A,
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5005967_definition-technical-writing.html)

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 91


Technical Writing is a form of technical communication. It is a style of writing
used in fields as diverse as computer hardware and software, engineering, chemistry
the aerospace industry, robotics, finance, consumer electronics, and biotechnology.

Technical writers begin by forming a clear understanding of the purpose of the


document they will create. Technical writers then typically gather information from
existing documentation and from subject matter experts. A subject matter expert (SME)
is any expert on the topic that the writer is working on. Technical writers are often not
SMEs themselves (unless they are writing about creating good technical
documentation). Workers at many levels, and in many different fields, have a role in
producing technical communications. A good technical writer needs strong language
and teaching skills and must understand the many conventions of modern technical
communications.

Advanced technical writers often move into specialized areas such as API writing,
document architecture, or information management.

Consider a technical writer writing a cake recipe:

 Audience: Is the audience composed of people in home kitchens, or highly


trained chefs in professional kitchens?
 Source: Is there existing documentation—a rough draft? Who is the subject
matter expert (SME)?
 Deliverable: Is the deliverable simple text for inclusion in a book, or formatted to
final form? Is the target a paper, a web page, or something else?

The three C's of good technical writing are:

 Clear
 Concise
 Complete

Clear, concise, and complete writing helps the reader to grasp the meaning quickly.

The technical writer determines that the recipe is written on the back of a napkin
but is partially indecipherable, so he or she must also interview a subject matter expert
(SME)—the chef who created it. On being told that the audience consists of people in
their own kitchens, the writer adjusts the writing style accordingly, and replaces or
defines terms such as "beurre mixer" or "springform pan", which may be more suited to
an audience of highly trained chefs. The chef reviews a draft of the recipe (a technical
edit) and notates corrections (bake at 350 degrees, not bake at 325 degrees).

The writer prepares a final draft, which the document owner and any other
stakeholders review and approve before it is published in one or more formats, such as
a paper, or HTML. Different versions of the document might also be published to meet
the needs of different audiences.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 92


Communicating With The Audience

Audience analysis is a key feature of all technical writing. Technical writing is a


communication to convey a particular piece of information to a particular audience for
a particular purpose. It is often an exposition about scientific subjects and technical
subjects associated with finance, construction, medicine, agriculture, technology, and
various sciences.

Procedural technical writing translates complex technical concepts and


instructions into a series of simple steps that enable users to perform a specific task in
a specific way. To present appropriate information, writers must understand the
audience and their goals.

Persuasive technical writing attempts to sell products or change behaviors by


putting forth compelling descriptions of how a product or service can be used in one's
life. This type of writing often delves into features and benefits of the product or service,
and may use illustrations to make the benefits easier for the audience to understand.

Technical Writing Is Presentational

Technical writing involves attractive layout for easy reading and comprehension.
Presentational strategies help readers to grasp messages quickly.

 The top-down strategy (tell them what you will say, then say it)
 Headings (like headlines in newspapers)
 Chunks (short paragraphs)
 Plain, objective style so that readers can easily grasp details.

It is also important to understand the medium typically used to view the final
product. An HTML document (web page), viewed through a browser, has presentational
possibilities that are different from those of the printed page, notably hyperlinks and
animation, which can enhance the readers' experience.

Types Of Technical Documents

Technical writers use computers and other electronic communications


equipment extensively in performing their work. They also work regularly with publishing
software and various authoring environments to prepare material directly for the
Internet. Technical writers frequently work with word processing, graphic design, page
layout, and multimedia software. The nature of technical writing is evolving, and modern
technical writers combine text, graphics, images, and sound into their work.

Broadly speaking, technical documentation can be categorized into three types,


depending on the style of writing, the level of knowledge transferred, and the target
audience:

1. End-user assistance. These information products help a user understand how to


use a technical software or hardware product. User manuals for computer
software, hardware, household products, medical equipment, cell phones,
smartphones, and other consumer electronics belong to this category.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 93


2. Traditional technical documentation. Here the writer's objective is to
communicate to a specific audience. Maintenance guides, appliance or
application repair manuals, engineering specifications, research papers,
reference works, annual reports. and articles written for technical journals (to
name a few examples) belong in this category.
3. Marketing communication. Product catalogs, brochures, advertisements,
introductory pages for web sites, press releases, and advertising copy belong in
this category.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_writing)

Information Sheet 3: Forms and Examples

I. Learning Outcomes

You are expected to:

1. identify the types of forms


2. fill up the forms correctly
3. develop confidence, integrity,

Key Concepts: Forms

III. Materials:

Laptop, soundbox, blackboard, chalk

Revised CBLM (2011), Participate in Workplace Communication, Passi Trade


School, QA , System

Values Statement:

Participation, Confidence, Integrity

Question:

What are some of the forms you used upon enrolling here in Passi Trade
School?

Lesson:
Card Form Characteristics

A card form lets you view and edit one record in a table at a time. A card form is
used when there are too many fields and you want to view them all conveniently on only
one line. Card forms always have tabs (like index tabs), which you can select to view
different groups of fields.

Even if there are only a few fields, there is at least one General tab. The General
tab is always first.

The table's primary key field is always the first field in the General tab. Tables
that use card forms only have one field in the Primary Key.

Naming Card Forms

Card forms are named after the table with which they are associated, followed
by the word "Card". For example, the card form associated with the Customer table is
called the Customer Card. Card forms also have at least one menu button at the bottom

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 96


of the frame. This button has the same name as the table that the card is based on and
gives you access to related information.

Statistics Forms

A statistics form is a one-record form that enables you to view but not edit
information. It usually contains FlowFields, which allow you to drill down to get to more
information. Usually, a statistics form also contains calculated or derived information
contained in variables, which cannot be drilled down.

Statistics forms can also contain tabs that help organize the information.

Naming Statistics Forms

Statistics forms are named after the table with which they are associated,
followed by the word "Statistics". For example, the statistics form associated with the
Customer table is called Customer Statistics.

Entry statistics forms are a special version of the statistics form. They are named
after the table they are associated with, followed by the words "Entry Statistics". For
example, the entry statistics form associated with the Customer table is called
Customer Entry Statistics.

Tabular Forms

A tabular form is a multi-record form that enables you to view multiple records
from a table and edit them. Each record is displayed as a single row in the tabular form
and each field is displayed as a column, creating a table within the form itself.

The primary key of the associated table is displayed in the leftmost column. If there are
multiple fields in the primary key, they are displayed in order of importance in the
columns, starting from the left.

Naming Tabular Forms

Tabular forms are named after the table with which they are associated—only in
plural. For example, the tabular form associated with the Country/Region table is called
Countries/Regions.

In the case of associated tables that have multiple fields in the primary key, the
name can be different. For example, the tabular form associated with the General
Posting Setup table is called General Posting Setup.

List Form Characteristics

A list form is a multi-record form that enables you to view multiple records from
a table at one time, but does not allow you to edit them. It has the same rows-and-
columns look as the tabular form.

The primary key fields of the associated table are displayed in the left column.

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 97


Naming List Forms

A naming list form is named after the table with which they are associated, followed by
the word "List". For example, the list form associated with the Customer table is called
Customer List.

The "Specialized" Ledger Form

A more specialized version of the list form is the Ledger Form. These are used only for
Ledger Entry tables. They differ from ordinary list forms, in that although you cannot
insert or delete records, you can edit a few of the fields. Also, the primary key is always
an integer named "Entry No." and is displayed in the rightmost column rather than the
leftmost column.

The ledger form is given the plural of the name of the associated table. For example,
the ledger form associated with the Customer Ledger Entry table is called Customer
Ledger Entries.

Worksheet Forms

A worksheet form is a specialized version of the tabular form. It is a multi-record


form that enables you to view multiple records from a table and edit them. The
difference is that when you insert a new record, the record does not jump to another
position within the form, but instead stays in the same order as you inserted it.

This is done by using the AutoSplitKey property of the form, combined with an
integer, as the last field in the table's primary key.

The primary key fields of the associated table are not displayed on the worksheet
form.

Naming Worksheet Forms

Worksheet forms are named to reflect the purpose of the associated table. One
example is a Journal table. In this case, the name of the worksheet form will end with
the word "Journal".

Header/Line Forms

Many forms have the characteristics of both a card form and a tabular form, for
example the Sales Invoice form.

The fields that are common to the entire invoice are located on a card-like form
with tabs, showing one invoice at a time. However, the invoice lines display in a table-
like section of the form, where multiple invoice lines (from the same invoice) can be
viewed at the same time and edited. These are called "Header/Line" forms.

Header/Line forms are two separate forms that are associated with two different
tables. The main form is a card form that is associated with one table. The main form
also contains a subform control that displays a worksheet form that is associated with

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 98


a different table, a table that is "subsidiary" to the first table. The subform control
manages the link between the two forms.

Naming Header/Line Forms

In many cases, a Header/Line form represents a document.

Setup Form Characteristics

A setup form is a one-record form that enables you to view and edit the only
record in a setup table. You are not allowed to insert or delete this record from this form.
Since there are many fields, these forms use tabs to organize the information.

Because there is only one record, the primary key is not displayed on this form.

Naming Setup Forms

Setup forms are named after the table with which they are associated. For
example, the setup form associated with the General Ledger Setup table is called
General Ledger Setup.

Menu Forms

A menu form is a non-bound form (not related to any table) that gives you access
to many of the other forms that are related to a functional area.

The form usually consists of command buttons or menu buttons. The buttons
properties change so that they look basically like labels with small squares or triangles
in front of the caption. The buttons still behave like normal buttons. The only difference

ASIAN CAREGIVING AND TECHN OLOGY EDUCATION CENTERS, INC. 99


is their appearance.
