GUIDES on Life Skills Module 5 - Safety and Health at Work - Activity 6, 7, & 8

 Module 5: Safety and Health at Work

“Ang kaligtasan ay dapat pinaghahandaan.”

 Safety doesn’t happen by accident.

SESSION 2: EMERGENCIES AT WORK

Activity 6: Introductory Activity

 The next activities will be on learning what emergencies are and how to handle them.
 Before we move on, though, let us review quickly what we learned about Positive Health and Safety Practices. What one hygiene practice did you start doing and how has it affected your daily routine? (Ang susunod na mga gawain ay nakatuon kung ano ang mga emergencies/kagipitan at kung paano tutugunan ang mga ito. Bago tayo magpatuloy, rebisahin natin nang mabilisan ang ating mga natutunan tungkol sa Positive Health and Safety Practices. Ano ang isang gawing pangkalinisan ang iyong sinimulang gawin at paano nakaapekto ito sa iyong pang-araw-araw na gawain?)

            Ang isang gawing pangkalinisan na aking sinimulang gawin ay ang parating paghuhugas ng kamay. Ito ay aking ginagawa sa maraming pagkakataon tulad ng: bago at pagkatapos kumain; pagkagalingan sa palikuran; bago at pagkatapos humawak ng mga gulay, isda, at karne na lulutuin. Ginagawa ko rin ang paghuhugas ng kamay kapag galing ako sa palengke at sa matataong lugar dahil na rin sa pag-iwas sa nakahahawangsakit na covid-19. Dahil sa patuloy na paghuhugas ng mga kamay, nakasanayan ko na itong gawin at parte na ito ng aking pag-araw-araw na gawain. Dahil dito, pinapayuhan ko rin ang aking mga kasambahay, kapitbahay, at kaibigan na ugaliin din ang paghuhugas ng mga kamay upang makaiwas sa sakit.      

Have you ever experienced a personal emergency? What happened and what did you have to do? How was it resolved? (Nakaranas ka na ba ng personal na emergency/kagipitan? Ano ang nangyari at ano ang iyong ginawa?)

              Sa ngayon ay wala pa akong nararanasan na personal na emergency/kagipitan. Gayunman, nagbabasa ako ng mga pamamaraan upang matugunan ang mga ito upang maging handa ako kung mangyari man ito sa akin.

 Let’s Apply!

Conduct an interview with an adult family member or a next-door neighbor and ask about home emergency situations and response mechanisms: Has there ever been an emergency at home or at work? What happened? How did they respond? What was the outcome? Answers might include: severe injury, fire, explosion, earthquake, severe storm, family feud, violence, etc. (Magsagawa ng isang panayan sa isang matandang miyembro ng pamilya o isang kapitbahay at tanungin sila tungkol sa mga sitwasyon emergency sa bahay at paanong natugunan ang mga ito: Nagkaroon ba ng isang emergrncy sa bahay o pinagtatrabahuhan? Paano sila tumugon? Ano ang kinalabasan? Ang mga kasagutan ay maaaring mapabilang: matinding pinsala, sunog, pagsabog, lindol, malakas na bagyo, away-pamilya, karahasan, atbp.)

            Ang isang kapitbahay na aking kinapanayam ay nagkuwento na siya ay nakaranas na ng isang personal na emergency. Ito ay naganap noong siya sa 15 taong gulang pa lamang sa kanilang probinsya sa Samar. Mayroon daw bagyo noon at biglang tumaas ang tubig sa kanilang barangay. Dahil hindi inaasahan ang baha, tinungkab daw nila ang bubong ng kanilang bahay upang hindi malunod. Sa kabutihang palad ay may dumaang rescue boat kaya sila naligtas.

Activity 7: Responding to Emergencies & Staying Healthy at Work

Q&A on Emergencies and Disasters: Match the question with the appropriate answer/solution. Write the letter of your answer on the blank before the number. Work on this activity with a fellow Life Skills student; you can do this over the phone or via text message. Your Mobile Teacher will go over this activity with you and validate your answers. (Tanong at Sagot ukol sa mga Kagipitan at Sakuna: Itugma ang tanong sa angkop na sagot/solusyon. Isulat ang titik ng iyong sagot sa blanko bago ang bilang. Gawin ang gawaing ito kasama ang isang mag-aaral ng Life Skills; maaari mo itong gawin sa pamamagitan ng telepono o text message. Susuriin ng iyong Mobile Teacher ang gawaing ito at pagtitibayin ang iyong mga sagot.)
