COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS 
Introduction 
As a student in Electrical Installation and Maintenance you should acquire the 
important knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and should be familiar with the 
actual application of every splice and joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual 
wiring installation. Of course, another factor is the knowledge in interpreting and analyzing 
the wiring diagram especially if the circuit is complicated. 
The following are the Common Electrical Wire Splices and Joints. 
Rat Tail or Pig Tail. This kind of joint is 
commonly used to join two or more 
conductors inside the junction box. It is 
suitable for service where there is no 
mechanical stress when wires are to be 
connected in an outlet box, switch, or 
conduit fitting 
Y-splice. This method of wrapping is 
generally used on small cables because 
the strands are flexible and all can be 
wrapped in one operation. 
Knotted tap. This is used where the tap 
wire is under heavy tensile stress. 
Plain tap joint. This is used where the 
tap wire is under considerable tensile 
stress circuit. 
Aerial tap. This is used as a temporary tap 
Duplex cross joint. This is a two-tap 
wire turned simultaneously and is used 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 18 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
usually done in constructions sites. The 
easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement 
where the two tap wire is under heavy 
tensile stress. 
Western Union Short-tie Splice. This is 
the most widely used splice or joint in 
interior wiring installation to extend the 
length of wire from one point to another. 
Western Union Long Tie. This is used 
extensively for outside wiring to extend 
the length of wire from one end to 
another. 
Cross joint. The same application is done 
as in plain tap and the only difference is 
that this tap is a combination of two plain 
taps place side by side with each other. 
Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint. This is 
used on large solid conductors where it 
is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire 
around the main wire. 
EXTENSION CORD 
An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical power cable with a plug on one end 
and multiple sockets on the other end. It comes in several varieties to suit the needs of the 
user. One of the most important considerations is the power handling capacity to make it 
safe and functional. 
Electrical gadgets are product of modern technology to make our life better. The 
number of electrical gadgets available at home and in offices may exceed the existing 
convenience outlet installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of 
available outlet is to use an extension cord especially if the electrical gadgets need to 
operate at the same time. 
REMINDER 
Be careful in buying an extension cord. You have to look for the Department of Trade 
and Industry (DTI) markings. The Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance 
(ICC) markings on it signify that the product passed the DTI standard for safety and quality.

Information Sheet 3.1 
RECEIVING AND INSPECTING FREIGHT SHIPMENTS 
One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the 
company’s supplies, materials and anything that the company needs. But his duty does not 
end in just purchasing but also in receiving the deliveries of what he purchased. 
In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right 
materials and supplies were delivered and all in good condition without defects. 
A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following questions: 
1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and address. If 
your agency has more than one location, make sure the goods are for this exact 
address. Check the freight to see if it is the same as described on the delivery 
receipt. Look at the label on each item to make sure the shipment belongs to you. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 42 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage. Check for 
holes, water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can. Check for rattling. Listen 
for something broken inside. Check to see if any package has been opened or if the 
sealing tape has been tampered with. 
3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number on the 
delivery receipt to the number you have counted. If the shipment is on a pallet, 
check to make sure the pallet is solid with no voids inside the stack. If the shipment 
is shrink or stretch wrapped, make sure the wrap hasn't been cut and pieces 
removed. Sign only for the type of unit you receive. For example: two pallets. Don't 
sign for the number of packages that are supposed to be on the pallet. However, if 
time permits or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped, count the packages, and 
only then sign for the number of packages. 
B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following: 
1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the terms specified by 
your agency, or is damaged to the point where it no longer has a value. 
2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note exceptions on the 
delivery receipt. 
C. How to note exceptions: 
1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately. Pinpoint the 
locations of all defects. If you can see the damage, have the driver wait while you 
open and inspect the packages. Write down the number and identity of the damaged 
pieces. This is called a "joint inventory." 
2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number of pieces 
actually delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then write down the number of 
pieces missing and note them as "short." 
3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt. Have 
the driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full name (not initials or 
nicknames). After the driver signs, you sign also. Write your agency's name, your 
full name, the date, and the time of day. 
D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection: 
1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to inspect the damaged 
goods and packaging. The formal request should be made by phone right after 
discovering any loss or damage. 
2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier in writing. Note 
the date and time of your previous phone call and the person contacted. Keep a 
copy of your request letter on file. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 43 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
3. Once contacted about damage or shortage, the carrier may waive inspection and tell 
you so. If so, write down the name of the person who waived the inspection, and the 
date and time of waiver. Then conduct your own detailed inspection. Write up your 
findings in a report and attach it to the file. If you can, take photographs to confirm 
your inspection report.

MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS 
Information Sheet 1.1 
Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical 
quantity, such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of measurement, such as the 
meter, second or degree Celsius. The science of measurement is called metrology. 
The English word measurement originates from the Latin mēnsūra and the 
verbmetiri through the Middle French mesure. 
Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so extra care is 
necessary in handling them. These are used to measure currents, voltages, resistances, 
wattages and other important elements in electrical works. This topic, will tackle the 
function/use of each measuring tool and instrument used in doing a electrical task. Different 
kinds of measuring tools and precision measuring instruments are as follows: 
Measuring tool/instrument Description 
Test Light is a pocket size tool used to test the 
line wire or circuit if there is current in it. 
Micrometer is used to measure the diameter of 
wires/conductors in circular mils. It can 
measure small and big sizes of wires and 
cables. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 51 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
Wire Gauge is used in determining the size of 
wires/conductors. The gauge ranges from 0 to 
60 awg ( American wire gauge). 
Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool used to 
measure length, width and thickness of short 
flat object and in sketching straight lines 
*A ruler/rule is a tool used in, for 
example, geometry, technical drawing, 
engineering, and carpentry, to measure lengths 
or distances or to draw straight lines. Strictly 
speaking, the ruler is the instrument used 
to rule straight lines and the calibrated 
instrument used for determining length called 
a measure. However, common usage calls both 
instruments rulers and the special 
name straight edge is used for an unmarked 
rule. 
Pull-Push Rule is a measuring tool used to 
measure the length of an object in centimeter 
and inches 
. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 52 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
Ammeter is an instrument used to measure the 
amount of electrical current intensity in a circuit. 
The unit of measure is ampere (a). It is 
connected along or series to the circuit. 
Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure 
electrical pressure or voltage of a circuit. The 
unit of measure is volt (v). This is connected 
across or parallel to the circuit. 
Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-tester. It is 
used to measure current flowing in a conductor. 
It is clamped or hanged in a conductor. 
Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) otherwise called as 
Multi-tester; is used to measure the voltage, 
resistance and current of a circuit. It is 
connected in parallel or series with the circuit 
depending on what to measure.

SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT 
Information Sheet 2.1 
A system of measurement is a set of units which can be used to specify 
anything can be measured. 
These are common units of measurement used in making layout and 
installation of electrical materials: 
A. Linear measures 
1. English system provides the creative way on how people can measure 
by themselves. For example, people measure shorter distance on the ground 
with their feet. They measure long distances by their palms which is equal to a 
yard. 
 Inch 
 Yard 
 Miles 
2. Metric system is a decimalized system of measurement. It exists in 
several variations with different choices of base units. Metric units are widely 
used around the world for personal, commercial and scientific purpose. 
 Millimeter 
 Centimeter 
 Decimeter 
 Meter 
B. English units and each equivalent 
 12 inches = foot(ft) 
 1 foot = 3yard (yd) 
 1 yard = 36 inches 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 58 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
C. Metric units and each equivalent 
 10millimeter (mm) = 1centimeter (cm) 
 10centimeter = 1decimeter(dm) 
 10 decimeter = 1meter 
D. English to metric equivalent 
 1 inch = 2.54 cm 
 1 foot = 30.48 cm 
 1 yard = 91.44 cm 
E. The centimeter graduation 
.5mm 1mm 10mm or 1cm 25 mm or 2.5 cm 
The graduation shows that every digit is .5mm 
How to read the cm graduation: 
1. First graduation is .5 mm 
2. Second graduation is 1mm 
3. Third graduation is 1.5mm 
4. Fourth graduation is 2mm 
Note: If the graduation reaches 10mm, it is equivalent to 1cm.

THE MULTITESTER 
INTRODUCTION 
The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes called the VOM (voltmeter, 
ohmmeter, milliammeter). It is the best instrument that can measure voltage, 
resistance and current. It is generally made of two types: the analog and the digital. 
A. PARTS OF A MULTI TESTER 
POINTER. The 
needle-shaped rod 
that moves over the 
scale of a meter. 
Pointer It is mechanically 
connected to the 
moving coil. it 
indicates the 
measured values on 
the multimeter 
scale. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 62 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
Adjustment screw makes it 
possible to adjust the pointer 
to the zero position of the 
scale. 
RANGE SELECTOR KNOB 
(Selector switch) makes it 
possible to select different 
functions and range of the 
meter. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 63 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
Zero-ohm 
adjustingKnob is 
used to zero-in 
the pointer before 
measuring 
resistance. 
SCALE is a series of 
marking used for reading 
the value of a quantity 
setting. 
SCALE -can have different 
types of scale, for voltage 
and current readings the 
scales have mostly linear 
which means equal 
division. For resistance 
readings, the scale have 
logarithmic which means 
unequal divisions. 
Test probe positive (red), 
negative (black) is used to 
connect the circuit to the 
electrical components being 
tested 
A. Proper care and maintenance of the multi tester 
1. Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multi-tester. 
2. In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the highest range to avoid 
reading voltage higher than the tester setting. 
3. Be sure that the tester is set to the correct range setting: resistance range 
when measuring the ohm, voltage range when measuring voltage and 
ammeter range when measuring the value of electric current. 
4. Always check the condition of its battery. Worn out batteries will damage the 
internal setting of the tester. 
5. When the tester is not in used or will be stored, set the selector switch to 
1000V or to OFF position. 
6. Never drop the tester.

The flow of current in a conductor or wire can be represented by diagram. There are 
two types of diagram: pictorial diagram and schematic diagram. 
A. Pictorial diagram is a sketch of electrical circuit that shows the external appearance 
of each component. It is much like a photograph of the circuit and uses simple 
images of parts. 
Sample Pictorial diagram of one bulb controlled by single pole switch using 9 volt 
battery source. 
B. Schematic diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using 
standard electrical symbols. It shows the actual number of components and 
how the wiring is routed but not the actual location.

Information Sheet 1.1 
Classification of Tools and Equipment 
A tool is a device that can be used to produce an item or accomplish a task, but that 
is not consumed in the process. It can be considered as extension of the human hand thus 
increasing speed, power, and accuracy and on the other hands equipment includes any 
machine powered by electricity. 
1. Hand tools are tools manipulated by hands without using electrical energy 
such as: puller, hacksaw, pull-push rule, pliers, hammer, and others.

K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
2. Machine/Power tools are tools manipulated by our hands and with the use 
of electrical energy such as: electric drill, grinding wheels, vacuum cleaner 
and others. 
3. Pneumatic tools are tools or instruments activated by air pressure. 
Pneumatic tools are designed around three basic devices: the air cylinder, the 
vane motor, and the sprayer. 
A. Hand tools 
They include screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, wrenches and pullers. 
1. Screwdrivers are used to drive, or turn screws. The common type has a single flat blade 
for driving screws with slotted heads. The other type has the cross slotted head. 
1. Hammers are mostly used tools in the shop. They should be gripped at the end of the 
handle. 
2. Pliers are specified types of adjustable wrenches. The two legs move on a pivot so that 
items of various sizes can be gripped. 
3. Wrenches are used to turn screws, nuts and bolts with hexagonal heads. ―Hexagonal‖ 
means six-sided. A variety of wrenches are used in the shop. 
4. Pullers are used to remove gears and hubs from shafts, bushings from blind holes, and 
cylinders’ liners from the engine blocks. 
B. Machine/Power Tools 
1. Electric drill has an electric motor that drives a chuck. The chuck has jaws that can be 
opened and then closed to grip a drill kit. 
2. Grinding tool can be either bench-mounted or installed on a pedestal. They may either 
have a grinding wheel, view wheel, or two grinding wheels.

3. Vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning the floor and car interiors after service. 
C. Pneumatic tools 
1. Pneumatic Torque Wrench. This wrench uses compressed air to quickly and powerfully 
turn nuts, bolts, and other objects. 
2. Air chisel uses reciprocating motion to drive a cutting hammering tool. An air hammer 
drives a chisel to cut off a nut that has frozen to a stud. It can be used with a variety of 
tools-cutters and punches to do many jobs. 
3. Air drill is lighter than a comparable electric drill. Repeatedly stalling or overloading 
does not damage or overheat the air drill.

Operation Sheet 1.1 
A. Basic Maintenance of Electrical Tools and Equipment 
To ensure that your electric tools work when you need them, you must take proper 
care of them. A good routine of maintenance for your tools is one thing that you can do to 
make sure that the tool you need is working when you need it. 
1. Clean out the Dust. To make sure that your electric tools are ready to go when you are, 
keep them clean and free of dust. Spend some time to clean out the dust every 
once in a while on your tools while they are inactive in storage. 
2. Check the Cords. Look for tear/cut insulator on the power cords on your electric tools. 
This will ensure that your electric tool can get the power that it needs to function 
without an accident. 
3. Use the right tool correctly. Use tools correctly and for their intended purposes. Follow 
the safety directions and operating procedures recommended by the manufacturer. 
When working on a circuit, use approved tools with insulated handles. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 103 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
4. Protect your Tools. Keep tools and cords away from heat, oil, and sharp objects. These 
hazards can damage insulation. If a tool or cord heats up, stop using it. Report the 
condition to a supervisor or instructor immediately. 
5. Use double-insulated tools - Portable electrical tools are classified by the number of 
insulation barriers between the electrical conductors in the tool and the worker. 
6. Storing Your Tools- Keep your electric tools stored in their original cases and 
containers. This will keep them free of dust and dirt while they are not being used. 
Note: proper care of your electric tools is the key to making sure that they last for 
many years

Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment 
The most significant point to think at the start of your career is to acquire branded 
tools. They must be made out of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special 
consideration is given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and 
prevent loses. Since the technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of 
tools/equipment is very significant. 
The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying 
warranty guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long run, to 
start with a few cautiously selected tools that will take care of your most common needs and 
then slowly build-up to a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and memorize the 
huge number of tools and equipment in the workshop, maintaining the inventory record is of 
great value.

HAZARDS AND RISKS 
Information Sheet 1.1 
What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk'? 
A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg electricity, chemicals, working up a 
ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress. 
Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse 
health effect once to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment 
loss. 
A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm. 
For example, working alone away from your office can be a hazard. The risk of 
personal danger may be high. Electrical repair is a hazard. If someone accidentally turned-on 
the power the worker’s life will be in a 'high-risk' category.

Five Basic Workplace Hazards 
There are five major types of hazards which can put both your health and your safety at risk. 
1. Chemical hazards 
2. Physical hazards 
3. Biological hazards 
4. Ergonomic hazards or job related hazards 
5. Psychological hazards or stress 
CHEMICAL HAZARDS 
If you are working with cleaning products, bleaches, paints, and other 
chemical agents, you need to understand what a chemical hazard is as well 
as how to protect yourself. 
Chemical hazards include: 
 liquids such a cleansers, 
 acids, and paints 
 vapours and fumes such as 
 welding fumes 
 gases such as carbon monoxide 
 products that can catch fire or explode 
PHYSICAL HAZARDS 
Physical hazards include: 
 Machinery 
 Electrical power 
 Noise 
 Power and hand tools 
 Working and walking surfaces 
 Trip and fall hazards 
 Ladders and scaffolds 
 Heat and cold 
 ventilation 
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS 
Why be careful around ticks, mouse droppings, bird poop and wild animals? 
Because you might get sick from working around certain animals, including 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 133 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
people. Biological hazards include bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, birds, animals, and 
humans. The risks run from skin irritation and allergies to infections. 
Dangers can come from: 
• unclean restrooms 
• mold and fungus 
• bacteria 
• insect stings 
• animal bites 
• poorly stored medical waste 
ERGONOMIC HAZARDS 
If your job is poorly designed, you can develop long term health problems. 
These problems can arise from simple things, like working for long periods in an 
awkward position or having to make the same motions over and over again. 
Problems can come from: 
 lghting 
 chairs 
 lifting 
 repeated movements 
 computer screens 
PSYCHOLOGICAL HAZARDS 
Those that are basically causing stress to a worker. This kind of hazard 
troubles an individual very much to an extent that his general well-being is 
affected 
Stress can lead to long-term health problems. Headaches, anxiety, and impatience are early 
signs of stress. 
Workplace causes of stress include: 
• heavy workloads 
• lack of control over the pace of work 
• shift work 
• noise 
• working by yourself 
• fear of job-loss 
• conflict with the employer

THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE 
One of the most critical among the hazards that one may encounter is the chemical 
hazard. Chemical may produce reactions that may endanger ones health and life. This is the 
reason why the American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) established a 
threshold limit value (tlv). 
TLV is the term used by the American Conference of Governmental Hygienists (ACGIH*) to 
express the airborne concentration of a material to which nearly all persons can be exposed 
day after day, without adverse health effects

What Do You Need To Know? 
Read the Information Sheet 2.1 very well then find out how much you can 
remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 2.1. 
What is a risk assessment? 
Information Sheet 2.1 
Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with 
protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. 
The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work 
environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, 
employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who 
are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject 
areas, including occupational medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public 
health, safety engineering / industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics. 
Risks include acute and chronic health effects, for example, irritation or cancer, and 
physical effects such as fires or explosions. The hazards are physical and health hazards. 
II. Risk assessment 
A. Risk assessment is the process where you: 
1. identify hazards 
2. analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard 
3. determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard 
B. 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 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 140 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
ACGIH has established TLV's for approximately 850 chemical. 
TLVs may appear as: 
TLV-TWA or time-weighted average, which is an average eight-hour exposure limit; 
TLV-STEL or short-term exposure limit, which is a fifteen-minute exposure limit, or 
TLV-C or ceiling, which is a limit which should never be exceeded without protection. 
II. Fire and Explosion Hazard Assessment 
Fire is one type of hazard that needs careful evaluation before extinguishing it. Not all fire 
could be extinguished by water that is why it is necessary that we knew first the cause of fire 
before dealing the fire. 
1. Flash Point and Method Used: Lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off enough 
flammable vapors to ignite. Since flash points vary according to how they are obtained, the 
method used must be listed. Chemicals with lower flash points present a greater flammability 
hazard. 
2. Flammable Limits: Range of concentrations over which a flammable vapor mixed with air 
will flash or explode if an ignition source is present. Range extends between lower explosive 
limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) and is expressed in percentage of volume of 
vapor or gas in air (0 – 100%). 
Chemicals with a broad flammable range (i.e., range between the LEL and the UEL) 
and/or a flammable range in the lower percentages, present a greater flammability hazard. 
3. Extinguishing Media: Fire-fighting material for use on substance that is burning, Fire-fighting 
material should be indicated by its generic name (e.g. water, foam, dry chemical, 
etc.). 
III. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and 
monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human 
activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, 
the environment or aesthetics. 
Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses on 
delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. The management of wastes treats all 
materials as a single class, whether solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, and 
tried to reduce the harmful environmental impacts of each through different methods. 
Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, 
for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous 
waste 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.

3A. HAZARD CONTROL 
Information Sheet 3.1 
All workplace hazards (chemical, physical, etc.) can be controlled by a variety of methods. 
The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to 
occupational hazards. Some methods of hazard control are more efficient than others, but 
a combination of methods usually provides a safer workplace than relying on only one 
method. Some methods of control are cheaper than others but may not provide the most 
effective way to reduce exposures. 
To control hazards in your workplace you need to identify and understand those 
hazards. Your first priority should always be to eliminate the hazards. If the hazards can't be 
eliminated, try finding safer ways to carry out those tasks by substituting less harmful 
substances or changing the work environment through engineering controls. Also consider 
changing how work activities are organized and performed. For example, reduce the time 
workers are exposed to a hazard by rotating them to another task. 
A. Controlling workplace hazards 
Once a hazard has been identified and the risk assessed, control measures should be put 
into place.A simple list of control measures can be utilized - the hierarchy of control. 
1. Identify the Hazard 
Identify the source of the problem 
2. Assess the Risk 
Risk assessment is the process where you: 
o Identify hazards, 
o Analyze or evaluate the risk associated 
with that hazard. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 150 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
o Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control 
the hazard 
3. Eliminate the Hazard Or Risk 
Elimination of a specific hazard or hazardous work process, or 
preventing it from entering the workplace, is the most effective 
method of control. Eliminating a hazard means removing it 
completely. 
4. Engineering Control may mean changing a piece of 
machinery (for example, using proper machine guards) or a 
work process to reduce exposure to a hazard. 
5. Administrative Controls 
Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area is an 
example of an administrative control for example, job rotation. 
6. Substitution is one measure of replacing one hazardous 
agent or work process with a less dangerous one. It is 
important to consider worker health and safety when work 
processes are still in the planning stages. 
Provide P e rsonal Protective Equipment 
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes ear and eye 
protection, respirators, and protective clothing. 
Remember: it is always better to control the hazard as close to the source as possible. 
Using personal protection is the least acceptable and least effective of all control 
measures.

hazards. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower 
every day at the end of your shift, no matter what your job is. Wash your skin and hair with a 
mild soap, rinse and dry your skin completely to protect it. Washing hands regularly, and 
eating and smoking 
away from your work 
area help to prevent 
ingesting 
contaminants. 
Lack of personal 
cleanliness can affect 
your family's health. 
Your family can be 
exposed to hazards

bring chemicals and

hazards home with you! 
other workplace contaminants home with you on your clothes, hair or skin. Before you leave 
work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing workplace 
contaminants home. 
Leave your dirty clothes at work or, if you must wash them at home, wash 
them separately — not with the family wash. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 153 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
It may seem that the amount of contaminant you can bring home on your clothes or skin is 
very small and cannot hurt your family. In reality a small exposure every day for months can 
add up to a big exposure. A classic example of this ―spreading the hazard‖ involves 
asbestos, where wives of asbestos workers have developed asbestosis from exposure to the 
asbestos on their husbands' work clothes. Similarly, children have developed lead poisoning 
from exposure to lead which comes home on their parents' work clothes. 
If you wear protective clothing at work, such as aprons, laboratory coats, overalls, 
etc., these should be cleaned regularly and you should inspect them for holes or areas that 
are worn out. Workers who launder these clothes should be trained in the types of hazards 
they may work with and how they can be controlled. Inspect your underclothes at home for 
any signs of contamination with oils, solvents, etc. If you find any signs, then it means your 
protective clothing at work is not effective. 
Every workplace should have some kind of first-aid facility 
Every workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities as well as adequate 
personnel trained to provide first aid. First-aid facilities and trained personnel are important 
components of a healthy and safe workplace. 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 154 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
A basic first-aid 
facility 
1. General cleanliness in the workplace is an important method of controlling 
hazards. 
2. Good housekeeping reduces the risk of fire and is cost-effective. 
3. Good housekeeping measures should be planned when work processes are 
in the design stage. 
4. Safety signs are not a method of hazard control. 
5. Personal cleanliness is an important method of controlling hazards. 
6. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a 
shower every day. 
7. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when 
necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home to your family. 
8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If you must wash them at home, wash them 
separately — never wash your work clothes with your family's wash. 
9. Your protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Inspect your protective 
clothing for holes and worn areas that could leave you open to exposures. 
10. Inspect your undergarments for signs of contamination. 
11. Your workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities. 
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 
Process of ensuring that an organization has complied with the preventive measures, 
is in a state of readiness to contain the effects of a forecasted disastrous event to minimize 
loss of life, injury, and damage to property, can provide rescue, relief, rehabilitation, and 
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 155 
K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
other services in the aftermath of the disaster, and has the capability and resources to 
continue to sustain its essential functions without being overwhelmed by the demand placed 
on them. 
Preparedness for the first and immediate response is called emergency preparedness. 
Always remember that disaster comes in the most unexpected time and place. Being ready 
is always a necessity in all circumstances. The government is giving trainings that everybody 
needs in all our localities. One should participate in this disaster training so that we will not 
be caught unaware when calamity struck.

  • 19. COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS Introduction As a student in Electrical Installation and Maintenance you should acquire the important knowledge and skills in wire splices and joints and should be familiar with the actual application of every splice and joint. This will serve as your tool in performing actual wiring installation. Of course, another factor is the knowledge in interpreting and analyzing the wiring diagram especially if the circuit is complicated. The following are the Common Electrical Wire Splices and Joints. Rat Tail or Pig Tail. This kind of joint is commonly used to join two or more conductors inside the junction box. It is suitable for service where there is no mechanical stress when wires are to be connected in an outlet box, switch, or conduit fitting Y-splice. This method of wrapping is generally used on small cables because the strands are flexible and all can be wrapped in one operation. Knotted tap. This is used where the tap wire is under heavy tensile stress. Plain tap joint. This is used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress circuit. Aerial tap. This is used as a temporary tap Duplex cross joint. This is a two-tap wire turned simultaneously and is used ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 18 K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education

This is the most widely used splice or joint in interior wiring installation to extend the length of wire from one point to another. Western Union Long Tie. This is used extensively for outside wiring to extend the length of wire from one end to another. Cross joint. The same application is done as in plain tap and the only difference is that this tap is a combination of two plain taps place side by side with each other. Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint. This is used on large solid conductors where it is difficult to wrap the heavy tap wire around the main wire. EXTENSION CORD An extension cord is a span of flexible electrical power cable with a plug on one end and multiple sockets on the other end. It comes in several varieties to suit the needs of the user. One of the most important considerations is the power handling capacity to make it safe and functional. Electrical gadgets are product of modern technology to make our life better. The number of electrical gadgets available at home and in offices may exceed the existing convenience outlet installed in every room. The best remedy to address the insufficiency of available outlet is to use an extension cord especially if the electrical gadgets need to operate at the same time. REMINDER Be careful in buying an extension cord. You have to look for the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) markings. The Product Standard (PS) or Import Commodity Clearance (ICC) markings on it signify that the product passed the DTI standard for safety and quality.

Information Sheet 3.1 RECEIVING AND INSPECTING FREIGHT SHIPMENTS One of the tasks of a supply officer or logistics officer is the purchase of the company’s supplies, materials and anything that the company needs. But his duty does not end in just purchasing but also in receiving the deliveries of what he purchased. In receiving the deliveries, understand that you need to ensure that the right materials and supplies were delivered and all in good condition without defects. A. When you receive a shipment, ask the shipper the following questions: 1. Is it for me? Check the delivery receipt for the consignee's name and address. If your agency has more than one location, make sure the goods are for this exact address. Check the freight to see if it is the same as described on the delivery receipt. Look at the label on each item to make sure the shipment belongs to you. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 42 K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
  • 44. 2. Is it damaged? Do not sign the receipt before inspecting for damage. Check for holes, water, stains, and tears. Pick up cartons if you can. Check for rattling. Listen for something broken inside. Check to see if any package has been opened or if the sealing tape has been tampered with. 3. Is the piece count correct? Count the pieces and match the number on the delivery receipt to the number you have counted. If the shipment is on a pallet, check to make sure the pallet is solid with no voids inside the stack. If the shipment is shrink or stretch wrapped, make sure the wrap hasn't been cut and pieces removed. Sign only for the type of unit you receive. For example: two pallets. Don't sign for the number of packages that are supposed to be on the pallet. However, if time permits or the pallet is not banded or shrink wrapped, count the packages, and only then sign for the number of packages. B. If your delivery doesn't check out, do one of the following: 1. Refuse shipment if it isn't yours, if the shipment does not meet the terms specified by your agency, or is damaged to the point where it no longer has a value. 2. If yours, and only partially damaged or short, accept it and note exceptions on the delivery receipt. C. How to note exceptions: 1. Damage Notations: Be specific. Describe the damage accurately. Pinpoint the locations of all defects. If you can see the damage, have the driver wait while you open and inspect the packages. Write down the number and identity of the damaged pieces. This is called a "joint inventory." 2. Shortage Notations: If part of shipment is missing, write the number of pieces actually delivered on the delivery receipt and circle it. Then write down the number of pieces missing and note them as "short." 3. Signatures: Write down all exceptions on both copies of the delivery receipt. Have the driver sign both copies of the delivery receipt in his full name (not initials or nicknames). After the driver signs, you sign also. Write your agency's name, your full name, the date, and the time of day. D. Follow these steps when requesting an inspection: 1. The receiving person is responsible for requesting the carrier to inspect the damaged goods and packaging. The formal request should be made by phone right after discovering any loss or damage. 2. After the phone request, make a request for inspection by the carrier in writing. Note the date and time of your previous phone call and the person contacted. Keep a copy of your request letter on file. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 43 K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
  • 45. 3. Once contacted about damage or shortage, the carrier may waive inspection and tell you so.

Information Sheet 3.1 Why Maintain Inventory of Tools and Equipment The most significant point to think at the start of your career is to acquire branded tools. They must be made out of high-quality steel and manufactured for precision. Special consideration is given to balance so that the tool/equipment will be properly maintained and prevent loses. Since the technician must work with his tools daily, regular inventory of tools/equipment is very significant. The initial cost of a minimum number of tools is high but there is accompanying warranty guarantees satisfaction and many years of service. It is better, in the long run, to start with a few cautiously selected tools that will take care of your most common needs and then slowly build-up to a complete set. It is sometimes hard to identify and memorize the huge number of tools and equipment in the workshop, maintaining the inventory record is of great value.

HAZARDS AND RISKS Information Sheet 1.1 What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk'? A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress. Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect once to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss. A risk is the chance, high or low, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm. For example, working alone away from your office can be a hazard. The risk of personal danger may be high. Electrical repair is a hazard. If someone accidentally turned-on the power the worker’s life will be in a 'high-risk' category.

Information Sheet 2.1 Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe work environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject areas, including occupational medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public health, safety engineering / industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics. Risks include acute and chronic health effects, for example, irritation or cancer, and physical effects such as fires or explosions. The hazards are physical and health hazards. II. Risk assessment A. Risk assessment is the process where you: 1. identify hazards 2. analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard 3. determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard B. 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 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 140 K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
  • 142. ACGIH has established TLV's for approximately 850 chemical. TLVs may appear as: TLV-TWA or time-weighted average, which is an average eight-hour exposure limit; TLV-STEL or short-term exposure limit, which is a fifteen-minute exposure limit, or TLV-C or ceiling, which is a limit which should never be exceeded without protection. II. Fire and Explosion Hazard Assessment Fire is one type of hazard that needs careful evaluation before extinguishing it. Not all fire could be extinguished by water that is why it is necessary that we knew first the cause of fire before dealing the fire. 1. Flash Point and Method Used: Lowest temperature at which a liquid will give off enough flammable vapors to ignite. Since flash points vary according to how they are obtained, the method used must be listed. Chemicals with lower flash points present a greater flammability hazard. 2. Flammable Limits: Range of concentrations over which a flammable vapor mixed with air will flash or explode if an ignition source is present. Range extends between lower explosive limit (LEL) and upper explosive limit (UEL) and is expressed in percentage of volume of vapor or gas in air (0 – 100%). Chemicals with a broad flammable range (i.e., range between the LEL and the UEL) and/or a flammable range in the lower percentages, present a greater flammability hazard. 3. Extinguishing Media: Fire-fighting material for use on substance that is burning, Fire-fighting material should be indicated by its generic name (e.g. water, foam, dry chemical, etc.). III. Waste management is the collection, transport, processing or disposal, managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics. Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources. The management of wastes treats all materials as a single class, whether solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, and tried to reduce the harmful environmental impacts of each through different methods. Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Management for non-hazardous waste 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.

HAZARD CONTROL Information Sheet 3.1 All workplace hazards (chemical, physical, etc.) can be controlled by a variety of methods. The goal of controlling hazards is to prevent workers from being exposed to occupational hazards. Some methods of hazard control are more efficient than others, but a combination of methods usually provides a safer workplace than relying on only one method. Some methods of control are cheaper than others but may not provide the most effective way to reduce exposures. To control hazards in your workplace you need to identify and understand those hazards. Your first priority should always be to eliminate the hazards. If the hazards can't be eliminated, try finding safer ways to carry out those tasks by substituting less harmful substances or changing the work environment through engineering controls. Also consider changing how work activities are organized and performed. For example, reduce the time workers are exposed to a hazard by rotating them to another task. A. Controlling workplace hazards Once a hazard has been identified and the risk assessed, control measures should be put into place.A simple list of control measures can be utilized - the hierarchy of control. 1. Identify the Hazard Identify the source of the problem 2. Assess the Risk Risk assessment is the process where you: o Identify hazards, o Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard.

  • 152. o Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard 3. Eliminate the Hazard Or Risk Elimination of a specific hazard or hazardous work process, or preventing it from entering the workplace, is the most effective method of control. Eliminating a hazard means removing it completely. 4. Engineering Control may mean changing a piece of machinery (for example, using proper machine guards) or a work process to reduce exposure to a hazard. 5. Administrative Controls Working a limited number of hours in a hazardous area is an example of an administrative control for example, job rotation. 6. Substitution is one measure of replacing one hazardous agent or work process with a less dangerous one. It is important to consider worker health and safety when work processes are still in the planning stages. Provide P e rsonal Protective Equipment Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) includes ear and eye protection, respirators, and protective clothing. Remember: it is always better to control the hazard as close to the source as possible. Using personal protection is the least acceptable and least effective of all control measures.

YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK Information Sheet 3.2 Personal hygiene Finally, personal hygiene (cleanliness) is also very important as a method of controlling hazards. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower every day at the end of your shift, no matter what your job is. Wash your skin and hair with a mild soap, rinse and dry your skin completely to protect it. Washing hands regularly, and eating and smoking away from your work area help to prevent ingesting contaminants. Lack of personal cleanliness can affect your family's health. Your family can be exposed to hazards you work with if you bring chemicals and Do not take workplace hazards home with you! other workplace contaminants home with you on your clothes, hair or skin. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home. Leave your dirty clothes at work or, if you must wash them at home, wash them separately — not with the family wash. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 153 K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education
  • 155. It may seem that the amount of contaminant you can bring home on your clothes or skin is very small and cannot hurt your family. In reality a small exposure every day for months can add up to a big exposure. A classic example of this ―spreading the hazard‖ involves asbestos, where wives of asbestos workers have developed asbestosis from exposure to the asbestos on their husbands' work clothes. Similarly, children have developed lead poisoning from exposure to lead which comes home on their parents' work clothes. If you wear protective clothing at work, such as aprons, laboratory coats, overalls, etc., these should be cleaned regularly and you should inspect them for holes or areas that are worn out. Workers who launder these clothes should be trained in the types of hazards they may work with and how they can be controlled. Inspect your underclothes at home for any signs of contamination with oils, solvents, etc. If you find any signs, then it means your protective clothing at work is not effective. Every workplace should have some kind of first-aid facility Every workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities as well as adequate personnel trained to provide first aid. First-aid facilities and trained personnel are important components of a healthy and safe workplace. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE 154 K to 12 – Technology and Livelihood Education

Personal cleanliness is an important method of controlling hazards. 6. Your employer should provide facilities so you can wash and/or take a shower every day. 7. Before you leave work, wash/shower and change your clothes when necessary to prevent bringing workplace contaminants home to your family. 8. Leave your dirty clothes at work. If you must wash them at home, wash them separately — never wash your work clothes with your family's wash. 9. Your protective clothing should be cleaned regularly. Inspect your protective clothing for holes and worn areas that could leave you open to exposures. 10. Inspect your undergarments for signs of contamination. 11. Your workplace should have at least minimal first-aid facilities.
