[Audio] Occupational safety and health (O-S-H--) Is a planned system of working to prevent illness and injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all people in the computer and technology industries..

[Audio] There are three steps used to manage health and safety at work: 1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification) 2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment) 3. Make the Changes (Risk Control).

Using the Think Safe Steps 1. Spot the Hazard. Key Point A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else. Examples of workplace hazards include:  frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock)  boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone)  noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing).

[Audio] 2. Assess the Risk Key Point Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how serious the harm could be..

2. Assess the Risk. Key Point Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how serious the harm could be. Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by asking yourself two questions: Assess  How likely is it that the hazard could harm me or someone else?  How badly could I or someone else be harmed?.

[Audio] 3. Make the Changes Key Point It is your employer's responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able to fix simple hazards yourself, as long as you don't put yourself or others at risk. For example, you can pick up things from the floor and put them away to eliminate a trip hazard..

[Audio] Common hazards encountered by computer technicians and users One of the most common physical hazards involving computer technicians is cables running across the floor. If someone trips, falls, and hurts himself because of a cable you ran across the floor, someone (you, your employer, or your customer) has a serious legal negligence problem..

[Audio] One of the most common physical hazards involving computer technicians is cables running across the floor. If someone trips, falls, and hurts himself because of a cable you ran across the floor, someone (you, your employer, or your customer) has a serious legal negligence problem..

[Audio] For long term cable routing there is a wide variety of cable organizing devices like cable ties, cable wraps, and cable raceways which can be used to run cable safely along the wall or ceiling. Other common physical hazards include leaving tools on top of ladders and placing electronic equipment in precarious positions.

[Audio] Mechanical Hazards When working on electronic equipment, ask yourself "Is there any way this equipment could hurt me?. You might stick your hand in a printer and suddenly the paper feed arm moves, feeding not only paper through the printer, but a piece of your finger too..

Mechanical Hazards. You might move your hand past a computer chassis and lose a chunk of flesh because it is razor sharp. When working on electronic equipment always be alert to any possibility of being hurt by moving parts, hot components, or sharp edges..

[Audio] Chemical Hazards Also be very careful when dealing with inkjet printer cartridges, or laser printer toner cartridges. Ink and toner can stain skin, clothing, and carpet..

[Audio] Chemical Hazards There is a wide array of chemicals used with electronic equipment. There are display cleaning chemicals, keyboard cleaning chemicals, compressed gas dirt and dust removers, and many cleaning solvents. Some of these chemicals can be harmful if accidentally swallowed, get on bare skin, or get in eyes. Before using any chemicals for electronic equipment always read the warnings and instructions on the label..

[Audio] Electric Shock Hazard Inside computers and electronic equipment, there is a range of voltages from 3.3 volts to 25 volts, most of these are harmless. But at the power supply, you'll find line voltage, which is a lethal 220 volts..

[Audio] Electric Shock Hazard Most of the time while working inside computers and electronic equipment, you'll want them unplugged from the wall socket. If you need to work on equipment while it is still plugged in or powered up, remove all jewelry and wrist watches..

[Audio] Electric Shock Hazard If you must work inside a line power distribution box, wear an electrician's rubber insulated gloves and safety glasses. You might think you don't need these safety devices because you are going to be extra careful, but one little slip could cause a flaming explosion that could take off your hand, embed shrapnel in your eyes, or conduct electricity through your heart, where it takes only 10 milliamps (0.01) to kill a human..

[Audio] C-R-T Monitor High-Voltage Hazard C-R-T monitors are becoming less common nowadays, but should you run into one, it is best Not to open it up. Instead, outsource any C-R-T repair job to a qualified C-R-T repair service. A CRT monitor has a high-voltage anode inside it, which can carry a charge of up to 25000 volts, and it can still be holding a high charge days after the power is removed..

[Audio] A. Direction: Read carefully each statement below. Place T on the line if the statement is TRUE. Place F if the statement is false. _____ 1. Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology industries. ______ 2. Spotting the hazards means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how serious the harm could be. ______ 3. If you need to temporarily run a cable across the floor, place a Danger sign similar to those "wet floor" signs used by cleaning services. ______ 4. An L-C-D monitor has a high-voltage anode inside it, which can carry a charge of up to 25000 volts, and it can still be holding a high charge days after the power is removed. ______ 5. Inkjet printer cartridges, or laser printer toner cartridges are hazardous to users..

[Audio] B. Direction : Identify what hazard is being illustrated in the situation below . __________ 1. Slippery computer laboratory floor __________ 2. Hot components, or sharp edges of computer devices __________ 3. Laser printer toner __________ 4. Obstructed electrical cables __________ 5. Open C-R-T monitor.
