OHS Policies and Procedures

Occupational Health and Safety Policy

In the school as a computer teacher you must be aware of how your students
behave when they are working in the computer laboratory, as well as implementing
a safe way of accomplishing every task. Safety practices should be learned early
and always adhered to when working with any electrical device, including personal
computers and peripherals. This is for the protection of not only the people working
with them, but also for the devices themselves. The basis for this process begins
with your Occupational Health and Safety Policies.

Personal Safety While Working Along With PC’s

Computer equipment can be dangerous, and you or others can be injured or
even killed if you don’t follow proper safety guidelines when working along PC’s.
The following are some precautionary measures to take before working with any
computer equipment:
 Wear shoes with non-conductive rubber soles to help reduce the chance of
being shocked or seriously injured in an electrical accident.
 Do not work on components that are plugged into their power source.
 Do not remove expansion cards from a computer when it is turned on.
 Remove all jewelry when working inside any computer related equipment.
 Be sure not to mix electronic components and water.

Even if you have a single computer, it looks to the Internet as part of a network.
The Internet, then, is a network of networks.
The majority of networking, is done using the internet standard. At the
center of the basic diagram of a wired network is either a hub or a switcher and
computers are connected to the hub, much like spokes of a wheel or star. Each
connection at the hub is called a port.
Three Basic Network Categories
 Local Area Network- the smallest of the three network types, consist of PCs
connected together within a limited area, such as within the same building,
floor or department.
 Metropolitan Area Network – are network that spans no more than 50
miles. It is design to connect LANs spanning a town or city
 Wide Area Network – used to distribute information thousand of miles
among thousands of users.

Network Hardware

 Network Interface Card (NIC) – a printed

circuit board, an adapter that plugs into the
computer’s motherboard when connected
with a network cable, provides the physical
link between your computer and the
network.

 Network Hub – a hardware device that

all PCs on a network are connected to
by cabling. The hub manages
receiving and transmitting data from
networked services.

 Wireless Hubs– are hubs designed for the home

Kinds of Hubs

- Standalone Hubs – are single products with a number of ports. It is

usually include some method of linking them to other standalone hubs for
network expansion.

- Stackable Hubs – work just like standalone hubs, except that several of
them can be “stacked” (connected) together, usually by short lengths of
cable.

- Modular Hubs – are popular in networks because they are easily

expanded and always have management option. It is purchased as chassis, or
card cage, with multiple card slots, each of which accepts a communication
card, or module
