Q and A
What steps do you
think are critical
when installing
network cables?
ANSWER:
• Critical steps when installing network
cables include planning the layout,
measuring and cutting cables accurately,
stripping and terminating the cable ends,
testing the connections for continuity,
and ensuring proper labeling and
documentation for future reference.
Q and A
How do you ensure
safety when working
with electrical
installations?
ANSWER:
• To ensure safety when working with
electrical installations, always de-
energize circuits, use insulated tools,
wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE), and follow local codes
and regulations while conducting
thorough inspections before and after
the installation.
Q and A
What safety
measures do you
follow when installing
network cables?
ANSWER:
• When installing network cables, I follow
safety measures such as ensuring that
the power is turned off, using insulated
tools, wearing appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE), avoiding
overloading cable pathways, and
maintaining a clear workspace to
prevent tripping hazards.
Q and A
Why is it important to
reduce, reuse, and
recycle in electrical
installations?
ANSWER:
• Reducing, reusing, and recycling in
electrical installations is important
because it minimizes waste, conserves
resources, lowers environmental impact,
and promotes sustainability by
decreasing the demand for new
materials and reducing the carbon
footprint of the installation process.
Q and A
How can you manage
waste responsibly in
such installations?
ANSWER:
• To manage waste responsibly in
electrical installations, I can implement a
waste management plan that includes
sorting materials for recycling, properly
disposing of hazardous waste,
minimizing excess material use, and
donating or repurposing usable items.
Philippine Electrical Code (PEC)
Provides guidelines for electrical
installations to ensure safety and
efficiency.
Philippine Electrical Code (PEC)
Relevant provisions related to data
connections primarily involve the
installation of electrical systems, wiring
methods, grounding, and protection
against overcurrent.
Philippine Electrical Code (PEC)
The latest edition of the PEC is
embodied in Republic Act No. 7920,
known as the "New Electrical
Engineering Law," which regulates the
practice of electrical engineering in the
Philippines.
Key sections relevant to data connection include:
• Article 1: General Requirements -
Covers the general principles of
electrical installations, including
safety and compliance with
standards.
Key sections relevant to data connection include:
• Article 4: Wiring Methods - Specifies
acceptable wiring methods for data
connections, ensuring compliance
with safety standards.
Key sections relevant to data connection include:
• Article 8: Overcurrent Protection -
Discusses the need for proper circuit
protection devices to prevent
overloads in data systems.
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Standards
• The Occupational Safety and Health
Standards in the Philippines, as
promulgated under Department Order
No. 198-18, aim to protect workers'
health and safety in workplaces,
including those involved with electrical
installations and data connections.
Relevant provisions include:
• Chapter II, Section 1.2: Responsibility of
Employers to provide a safe and
healthful workplace.
Chapter II, Section 1.2: Responsibility of Employers
to provide a safe and healthful workplace.
1. Identify Hazards
2. Implement Safety Measures
3. Maintain Equipment
4. Promote Health Programs
5. Emergency Preparedness
Relevant provisions include:
• Chapter III, Section 10: Safety measures
in working with electrical systems to
prevent accidents.
Chapter III, Section 10: Safety measures in working
with electrical systems to prevent accidents.
1. Proper Training
2. Use of PPE
3. Lockout/Tagout Procedures
4. Grounding and Bonding
5. Installation Standards
6. Regular Inspections
Relevant provisions include:
• Chapter IX: Requirements for the proper
handling of hazardous materials, which
can include certain electronic
components.
Chapter IX: Handling Hazardous Materials
• Identification and Classification
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Training
• Safe Storage
• Emergency Response
5S Principles
The 5S principles (Sort, Set in Order, Shine,
Standardize, Sustain) focus on workplace
organization and efficiency, essential in
environments dealing with electrical
installations and data connections:
5S Principles
• Sort (Seiri): Remove unnecessary items
that could pose safety hazards.
• Set in Order (Seiton): Arrange tools and
materials systematically for easy access
and improved efficiency.
5S Principles
• Shine (Seiso): Regularly clean the work
area to maintain safety and equipment
functionality.
• Standardize (Seiketsu): Create
standards for processes and procedures
to ensure consistency in safety
practices.
5S Principles
• Sustain (Shitsuke): Foster a culture of
continuous improvement and compliance
with safety standards.
Practicing the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Implementing the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle) is vital in managing waste in
electrical and electronic systems:
Practicing the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Reduce: Minimizing waste generation by
choosing efficient designs and practices
in electrical installations.
• Reuse: Encouraging the use of
refurbished electronic equipment or
parts to extend their lifecycle.
Practicing the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Recycle: Properly disposing of electronic
waste through established recycling
programs to recover materials and
prevent environmental harm.
Managing Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
The Ecological Solid Waste Management
Act (Republic Act No. 9003) governs the
management of waste, including WEEE, in
the Philippines.
Key points include:
Section 5: Mandates the establishment of a
comprehensive waste management
program.
Key points include:
Section 14: Encourages the recycling and
proper disposal of electronic waste to
minimize environmental impact.
Key points include:
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR):
Specifies guidelines for the handling,
storage, and disposal of WEEE,
emphasizing environmentally sound
practices.
