Labeling
Labeling is the process where you put on the trademarks of the product and the
company’s name aside from the things you place on it.
Why Products or a Thing Should Be Labeled
Label is the identity or a name of a certain thing or product. It is usually written,
printed or embroidered on a piece of paper, fabric or plastic attached to something to give
instructions about it or identify it. Labels are required on products to provide warnings or to
enable consumers to compare similar products. You see or read at the labels the ingredients
and the nutritional facts and also the expiration date of the products.
Moreover, information on the labels should not be removed. If in case the substance
is transferred to another container it must be labelled properly when use or stored. There are
reasons to ensure handling safely the chemical-related products. These include using food

insurance companies may be liable to the wrong and unlabeled container that causes the
accident; and products cannot be exported or permitted to use by the Department of
Agriculture for reasons of health safety and environmental concerns.
Furthermore, label may serve as alarm to the users which provided them with the
information that they needed before the operation or implementation. Alarm is commonly
known as signal. It is a warning or notice to keep everyone safe. Signal is given prior to the
incident that takes place so that the workers are free from any untoward accident. This can
be written and posted in a public place where everyone can read. Aside from written
signages, warnings can be given through multimedia such as cellular phones, internet,
newspapers and magazines, television and radio broadcast.

Check and Clean
Checking regularly of farm tools and equipment is a part of housekeeping. Upon
inspection and checking of tools, equipment and materials, see to it that they are in good
status. Keeping tools and equipment in a proper place will provide safety. Returning tools
promptly after use reduces the chance of being misplaced or lost. Workers must regularly
inspect, clean and repair all tools and take damage or worn out of service tools for safety
purposes.
Cleaning on the other hand, is part of every human activity. One cannot be
comfortable if the surrounding is dusty, dirty and messy. Cleaning removes dirt, germs and
impurities from surfaces or objects. Cleaning works by using soap and water to remove dirt
from the surface.
Housekeeping surfaces should be cleaned with soap and water or apply disinfectant.
The methods of cleaning should be determined by policy, cost, safety, product surface
compatibility, and acceptability. The manufacturers’ instruction for product used should be
followed. Using of PPE during cleaning and housekeeping should be required for health and
safety of the worker.
