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

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

Planning is a process of preparing for change and development and for deciding how
to best manage or influence those changes. Planning is also directed at resolving specific
problem issues or conflicts.

A Guide to Plan Preparation

The Policy background to Plan Preparation

Assessment- Students need to be aware of internal and external risk factors and the
consequences of any damage/ failure on their hand tools.

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

Preparation of plans- A plan will be required to be realistic, flexible and meet all the
assessed needs of a student at the same time the hand tools itself and the likely
needs of recipients of the emergency response.

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

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

Testing / Exercising- Any plan must be tested to ensure that it encompasses all the
outcomes of known or reasonably foreseeable risks and that it would be effective in
providing a sufficient and timely response.

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

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

Response- The student should respond to incidents as part of their core activities.
Others may only very occasionally be asked to provide an emergency response.

Safety and Risk

An emergency situation does absolve teachers and students from their

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

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

Each is briefly described below, including a definition taken from Webster's

Unabridged Dictionary.

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

Elimination
"To leave out of consideration"

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

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

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

The following method of organizing time has been helpful to many students and
does not take much time. It is more flexible than many methods and helps the student to
establish long term, intermediate, and short term time goals.

Intermediate Schedule - One per week

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

 Introduction:

Hand Tools include a wide variety of non-powered devices such as wrenches, pliers,
hammers, and screwdrivers. These tools may seem harmless, but they are the cause of
many injuries. The Following are the summary of safety practices related to hand tools.

General hazards:

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

Personal Protective Equipment:

• The type of PPE needed when using tools depends on the nature of the tank. At a
minimum, eye protection should always be worn.
• The use of hand protection may also be appropriate to provide protection against
cuts, abrasion, and repeated impact.
Do’s and Don’ts in Using Hand Tools
Pliers:
• Do not increase the handle length of pliers to gain more leverage. Use a larger pair
of pliers or bolt cutters.
• Do not substitute pliers for a wrench when turning bolts and nuts. Pliers cannot
grip these items properly and will slip.
• Never use pliers as a hammer on the handle. Such abuse is likely to result in cracks
or breaks.
• Cut hardened wire only with pliers designed for that purpose.
• Always cut a right angle. Never rock from side to side or bend wire back and forth
against the cutting edges.
PC HARDWARE SERVICING
The Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program
8|Page
 Screwdrivers:

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

Utility Knives/ Blades:

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

 Maintain Hand Tools

Teacher’s note:

To avoid accidents in the work place resulting from the

incorrect use of hand tools, it will be important that you understand
the proper use of your items. Have your group discuss your concerns
about the dangers involved in using hand tools. During the discussion,
each member is reminded of correct methods in manipulating hand
tools. During the session, every member practices the correct
methods in manipulating hand tools. It is important that everyone
has an opportunity to use tools in the practice session.

Proper Use, Maintenance and Storage Tools

The use of safety hand tools should be a key component of most
industrial safety programs. An understanding of the hand tool’s intended
use and environment, combined with proper tool selection, maintenance
and storage, will greatly reduce the risk of harmful accidents.

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

• Keep hand tools clean and free from ferrous or other contaminants.
• Do not use hand tools in direct contact with acetylene, due to the possible formation
of explosive acetyl ides, especially in the presence of moisture.
• During normal use, all pliers and screwdrivers will progressively develop some
damage to the striking faces of screwdrivers or the cutting edge and striking end of
pliers. As part of the normal operating and safety procedures, these tools should be
returned to the workshop, as with steel tools, to have the faces and heads redressed.
This is essential to prevent eye damage resulting from chips detaching from the item
during use.
• Do not hand tools fitted with wooden handles in places where the handles may dry
out and shrink. This will increase the risk of the handle breaking or the head
becoming loose.
PC HARDWARE SERVICING
The Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program
18 | P a g e
 • Tools are designed for specific use. As with any tool. In
addition to the probability that the tool will be damaged,
this is a dangerous practice for the safety of the operator.
• The accepted standards of safety and maintenance for common steel hand tools must
also be adopted with non-sparking hand tools, in addition to any specific
recommendations resulting from the alloys used.
• When sharpening hand tools, follow normal safety procedures, such as the provision
of eye and face protection, adequate extraction and dust collecting facilities.

Point to note:

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

Electrical current can travel over oily or greasy surfaces. Keep electrical
power hand tools free from dust and dirt and make sure they are free of
oil and grease.

All workshop hand tools and equipment should have maintenance

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

Stores commonly used hand tools in an easy-to-reach location. If a

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