It refers to protective clothing, goggles, or other gear designed to protect the

wearer's body or clothing from injury by electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and
infection, for job-related occupational safety and health purposes.

It is important that students and teachers during their laboratory period

should be required to use personal protective equipment. Some of these are:

1. Goggles is used for protecting the eyes

from dust, excessive light and wind.

2. Gloves the covering material with a

separate sheath for each finger used for hand
protection.

3. Face Mask a covering for the face to prevent the

inhaling or absorbing dust and other chemicals.

Types of tools use for assembly/disassembly of computer:

A. Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Tools is used to control discharge of

electrostatic electricity.
A.1. Anti-static wrist strap is use to
prevent ESD damage to computer
equipment.
 A.2. Anti-static mat is use to place

WRAP–UP
 Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, goggles, other
garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury. Protective
equipment may be worn for job-related occupational safety and health purposes.
Each tool is precisely designed for a specific purpose, so choosing the correct tool
will also decrease the amount of effort required to get a job done right without causing
damage to either the equipment or the surface being worked on

Quarter 1 – Lesson 10: Occupational Health and Safety Procedures

LESSON
Occupational safety and health (OSH) - Often generally referred to as health and
safety, workplace health and safety (OHS), occupational health, or occupational safety,
is a multidisciplinary field dealing with the protection, fitness and well-being of people at
work. These terms also refer to the aims of this field, so their use in the sense of this
article was originally an abbreviation of the program / department for occupational
safety and health etc.
The aim of an occupational health and safety system is to encourage a
clean and stable work climate. OSH may also protect workers, family
members, bosses, customers, and many others who may be impacted by the
working environment.
Workplace Hazards
Although employment provides many economic and other benefits, a
wide variety of occupational dangers (also known as dangerous working
conditions) often present threats to people's health and safety at work. These
include "chemicals, biological agents, physical factors, adverse ergonomic
conditions, allergens, a complex safety risk network," and a wide range of
psychosocial risk factors. You’ll need to follow the three "Think Safe" measures
to ensure protection and health in your workplace.
1. Hazard Identification
Hazard is all that could harm you and others. It may affect people's safety and
wellbeing and can affect tools and equipment. Alertness is useful at all times,
and is also effective in detecting dangers. During this phase, you can
recognize things that may cause injury and illness.
You will need to know the different classifications or types when
identifying hazards. They may be physical, mechanical or electrical, chemical,
biological or psychological hazards to the environment.

• Physical- Is an individual, element or situation which can inflict contact harm.

We may be marked as occupational threat or risk to the environment. Physical
risks include ergonomic dangers, pollution, discomfort from heat and cold,
vibration threats, and risks from noise.
• Mechanical - are hazards are created by the use of tools, equipment, or
machinery and plant either powered or manually (humanly).
• Chemical - Is the type of occupational hazard that is caused by chemical
exposure at work. Workplace exposure to chemicals can cause immediate or
long-term adverse effects on health. Examples include acids and toxins,
chemicals, dusts, gases and tools for bombs.
• Biological - Infectious micro-organisms include viruses, flies, vermin(pest) and
bacteria.
• Psychosocial - Any workplace hazard impacting the psychological and
physical well-being of employees, including their ability to engage in a work
atmosphere and others, is a job stressor. Psychosocial risks are linked to the
manner in which work is created, structured and handled, as well as the
economic and social context of research.

2. Risk Assessment
Risk is the probability of something unpleasant occurring. Risk entails
confusion about the consequences / implications of an action on something
that is of interest to people (such as health, well-being, income, properties or
the environment), often with negative, unintended results.
Risk management considerations also include the environment in which
risks have been reported. You often analyze the structure of the workplace and
the people who work on it, in particular their working patterns and postures. In
addition, all current monitoring procedures introduced in the workplace must be
reviewed.
3. Risk Control
Risk Control - known as hazard control, this is part of the risk management
process in which strategies are applied to neutralize or the defined threats.
Managed uncertainties remain potential challenges but there has been a
substantial decrease in the possibility of a related accident or its effects.
The most successful way to reduce a danger is to eradicate the threat,
although this is not always fairly possible. There is a recognized hierarchy of
hazard controls that is described in an order of effectiveness and choice
usually descending:

• Elimination - complete removal or danger avoidance often eliminates the risk.

• Substitution - there may be a less risky or less threatening material, device, or
procedure.
• Isolation - Where the danger can be isolated by partitions or marked areas
from the people or facilities at risk. The probability is lowered.
• Safeguards - suitable security, control systems, and related engineering
solutions may change tools or equipment.
• Procedural methods - safer ways to do something.
• Personal protective equipment and clothing (PPE)- is the last resort.
Common hazards encountered by Computer Technicians and users
Computer technicians and users should
follow the "Think Safe" measures as they can
often be vulnerable to numerous job risks
such as physical, mechanical, chemical and
electrical shock risks.

Physical Hazards - One of the most frequent physical hazards involving

computer technicians is through-
the-floor cables. If somebody
slips, falls and damages
themselves because of a cable
that you dragged around the
room, someone (you, your boss,
or your customer) has a
significant issue with legal
negligence. Place a Danger
warning close to the "wet floor"
signs used by cleaning services should you decide to temporarily run a cable
across the room.

Mechanical Hazards - Tell

yourself while operating on
computer devices, "Does this
device harm me?" You could
put your hand in a printer and
unexpectedly push the paper
feed back, feeding not just
paper through the printer, but
also a piece of your finger. You
could push your hand around a casing of your machine and lose a slice of
flesh because it's sharp razor. Also be alert when operating on electronic
equipment to the possibility that moving parts, hot components or sharp edges
can harm.

Chemical Hazards - For electronic devices, there is a wide variety of

chemicals used. There are window
cleaner additives, additives for keypad
washing, compressed gas dirt and
dust removers, and other solvents for
cleaner. Some of such substances can
be dangerous if ingested by mistake,
get on bare skin, or get in the eyes. Please read the notices and directions on
the packaging before using any chemicals on the electronic equipment. Also,
must be very careful when treating cartridges for inkjet printers, or toner laser
printers. Ink and toner have the ability to stain clothes, fabrics and furniture.

Electrical Shock hazards - There is

a variety of voltages from 3.3 volts to
25 volts within devices and electrical
appliances, the majority of which are
harmless. Yet you can consider line
strain at the power source, which is
a deadly 220 volts. Attentiveness
and caution must therefore be
exercised at all times, as this threat
can be fatal.

The workplace should follow safety regulations to:

• Secure from injuries

• Cover equipment from damage
• Safeguard the atmosphere from pollution

Safety Precautions at Work:

• Must not work alone, so that in case of an accident or emergency there is

someone who can take care of you.
• Beware of the devices that can cause short circuit. Please fill up the
handle with the cable connector and not keep it on the cable itself.
• Use only rubber shoes when standing on the ground or in a concrete
floor.
• While attaching a cable connector, make sure that the pins are correctly
spaced.
• Consider turning off and unplug the computer before working on it
• Take away any liquid such as mineral water or soft drinks near your
working area or near computers.
• Contingency plans are known during industrial incidents, explosion, and
other emergencies.
• Personal protective equipment is used properly according to the
standards and protocol of the company.
• Workforce hazards / risks and their associated markers are identified to
reduce or remove harm to co-workers, the workforce, and the
environment.
 • Take required precautions to prevent damage caused by Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) to the device component.
• Do not use excessive force if things do not quite slip into place.
