The students will be electrocuted if they not know how to connecting the wire

"Para sakin ang isang halimbawa ng panganib ng EIM, pwede kang masaktan
ang iyon Sarili dahil sa Kuryente o iba pang mga bagay na aksidente" [ For me an
example of danger of EIM is you can hurt your self due to electricity or other
accidents ]- E.I.M C

Another respondent also stated,

"Ang posible nga hinongdan nga naay disgrasya kabang wa ka kabantay nga
ga wiring nga naay ga dikit nga mga wire". [ The possible cause of the accidents is
that careless wiring with sticky wires ]- E.I.M B

If the wire are not perfect in connecting it will give the student electric shock

"Sama anang mag wiring mo sa inyong eskwelahan dli gyud nato ma hibal-an
Ang mga mahitabo" [ It's like when you do wing in school we don't know what will
happen ]- E.I.M E.

Wear Self Protective Equipment/PPE

This Theme has four Sub-Themes including "Wearing a safety gears PPE
can protect our body and prevent electrocuted", checking the breakers is need to
prevent accident", "Use self protective equipment to prevent accident", " proper
timing in connecting wires".

Wearing a safety gears PPE can protect our body and prevent electrocuted.

"Mag suot ng mga safety gears." [ Wear safety gears]" E.I.M A.

Checking the breakers is needed to prevent accident.

"Before ka mag wiring chekon daan namo ang breaker kung naka on ba or
naka of, Di raka ma kurentehan dayun inig naka wiring naka chekon sa daan nimo or
testeran".[Before you do wiring check the breaker if it is on of off. It won't turn on and
if you do wiring check the breaker]." E.I.M B.

Use self protective equipment to prevent accidents.

Maaring mag suot ng self protective equipment,Ang ilang halimbawa ng self

protective ay gloves at helmet." [You can wear protective equipment, Some example
of self equipment can be wearing gloves and helmet.] E.I.M. C.

Proper timing in connecting wires.

"Ona dyud ana kaylangan dyud naa tay pang protection sa atong kalawasan ". [ First
of all need to protect our body]. E.I.M.

Damaging the circuit breaker,It will cause a short circuit, Electrocuted and
electric shock.

The theme has four Sub-Themes including "the circuit breaker will be
burning if the connection are not perfect", "The wrong connection of wire will cause
short circuits, the student will be electrocuted if they not know how to connecting the
wire and If the wire are not perfect in connecting it will give the student electric
shock".

The circuit breaker will be burning if the connection are not perfect.

Posible nga masunog ang source Kung gapataka rakag Kuan sa mga wire."[It's
possible that the source will burn when the wire are cut].E.I.M.B.

The wrong connection of wire will cause short circuit.

 "I pahibalo dyud nato sa atong mga student para kung mag wiring sila dili
na sila pataka ug connect." [Let's really inform our students so that if they wire, they
won't be able to connect].E.I.M. E

The student's will be electrocuted if they not know how to connecting the wire.

"Dili napud nato mahibal-an sa atong pag wiring nga ang uban diay naay
mga panit nga wire".[ We don't know about our wiring that other's have thin wires]
E.I.M E

If the wire are not perfect in connecting it will give the student electric shock.

" Mapipigilan ito sa pamamagitan nang pag alam sa mga Panganib at mga
hakbang para maiwasan ang mga panganib".[ It can be prevented by knowing the
risks and taking steps to avoid the risks.] E.I.M B
 CHAPTER V

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations

Summary

This research aims to study of Grade 10 E.I.M student, perception in

Hazard and Risk in Electrical Installation and Maintenance. In the interview guide, it
was stated the following questions; How familiar are Grade 10 E.I.M students with
the potential hazards and the risks associated with electrical installation and
Maintenance, What are the most commonly perceived hazards and risks among
Grade 10 E.I.M students when it comes to electrical Installation and Maintenance,
What are the factors that influence the Grade 10 E.I.M perception of hazard and risk
in electrical installation and Maintenance? and last How confident are Grade 10 EIM
students in their ability to identify and mitigate potential hazards and risks in
electrical installation and maintenance?.

This research was conducted on the premises of Lantungan National high

School located at Barangay Lantungan Aurora Zamboanga del Sur with (5) students
as respondents. The data were gathered by using the interview guide to the students
of the said school. The answer were transcribed and interpreted by the researchers,
to get the coding and it's theme.

1. The results in determining of what steps can be taken to minimize the risk of
electrical installation and maintenance?

Most of the respondents said that to minimize the risk make sure the breaker is
off to prevent electrocuted and wearing a self/personal protective equipment.

2. Based on the result of How EIM students can be prevented the hazard and risk
associated with the electrical installation?

Most of the respondents said that in doing wiring just carefull to prevent
electrocuted and safety comes first to avoid your life in danger.

3. Based on the result of How effective are the methods for controlling and mitigating
electrical risk in workplace?
 Most of the respondents say that this can have a big impact because it will help
for the safety of the students and accident or danger can be prevented.

4. The result in determining of Can you provide me a common hazard while taking a
electrical installation?

Most of the respondents said that some of hazard are burning, electrical
shock, explosions, fire and etc. and the common hazard while participating in wiring
is electrocuted.

Conclusion

Based on the survey conducted, Grade 10 EIM students generally have a

good understanding of hazard and risk in Electrical Installation and Maintenance.
They are aware of the potential dangers involved in working with electrical
equipment and are knowledgeable about the safety precautions that need to be
taken to minimize risk. However, there is still room for improvement in their
perception of risk assessment and hazard identification. Some students might not be
able to recognize the potential hazards in certain situations, which could lead to
serious accidents or injuries. Thus, it is important for teachers and educators to
continue emphasizing the importance of hazard and risk assessment in the EIM
curriculum, and to provide students with practical examples and hands on training to
enhance their knowledge and skills in this area
Recommendation.

1. Understand the difference between hazards and risks: Teach students that a
hazard is something that has the potential to cause harm, while a risk is the
likelihood of that harm actually occurring.

2. Use real-life examples: Provide students with examples of hazards and risks in
electrical installation and maintenance, such as working with live wires or climbing
ladders.

3. Emphasize the importance of safety precautions: Teach students about the safety
measures that should be taken to minimize hazards and mitigate risks, such as
wearing proper protective equipment and following proper procedures.

4. Teach basic electrical safety rules: Educate students about fundamental safety
rules, such as turning off the power before working on electrical systems and never
working alone.

5. Discuss potential consequences: Help students understand the potential

consequences of not taking safety precautions, such as electric shock, burns, or
even death.
