 Lesson
Follow OHS Procedures in Testing
1 Systems and Networks

What’s In

After having completed the configuration phase, you are now ready to face final chapter of
configuration which is inspecting and testing configured computer system and networks. The lessons
in this segment will focus on the guidelines and methods on inspecting and testing of computer system
and networks. So at the end of this lesson you should be able to:
✓ follow OHS procedures in testing configured computer system and networks;
✓ Testing configured computer system and networks; and
✓ Accomplish a technical report.

Inspect and Test Configured Computer System and Network

In general, testing is finding out how well something works. In terms of human beings, testing
tells what level of knowledge or skill has been acquired. In computer hardware and software
development, testing is used at key checkpoints in the overall process to determine whether
objectives are being met. For example, in software development, product objectives are sometimes
tested by product user representatives. When the design is complete, coding follows and the finished
code is then tested at the unit or module level by each programmer; at the component level by the
group of programmers involved; and at the system level when all components are combined together.
At early or late stages, a product or service may also be tested for usability.

Safety Precautions

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Policy –An Information and communication
technology (ICT) student should know how to behave when working in the computer laboratory, as
well as implement a safe way of accomplishing every task. Safety practices should be learned early
and always adheres in working with any electrical and electronic device, including personal computers
and its peripherals. This is for your protection as well as to the people working with you, and for the
devices that you are using. The basis for this process begins with Occupational Health and Safety
Policies.

Occupational health and safety (OSH) 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 persons in the computer and technology industries. You must identify the
hazards where you are working and decide how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify
the risk that it presents.

Occupational Health and Safety standards

Each student has a responsibility to their colleagues and their organization to report and act
upon any potential workplace hazard. Students need to be aware of the type of hazards that are
possibly present in their work environment.

Types of Hazard:
➢ Biological
➢ Chemical
➢ Physical
➢ Safety
➢ Ergonomic
➢ Psychosocial
- 2-
Procedure
1. Identify the hazard
2. Clear the area close to the hazard
3. Partition the hazard off or clearly identify the area to protect other people from harm
4. If the hazard is easily and safely cleared, then do so

If not…
1. Report the hazard to the appropriate person (such as teacher in charge, principal etc.) to obtain
assistance
6. Following clearing of the hazard fill out the correct documentation to assist in identifying
improved practice to reduce further incidence of hazards.

All hazards must be reported using Accident Report form. This enables us to track the kinds
of hazards we have in our workplace, and take action where necessary to make it safer for all student
and clients.

Accident reports

Forms are used to give specific details with regards to the accidents happened in the
laboratory during experiments.
Accident reports contain the following details:
➢ Name of the person injured
➢ Date and time of the accident
➢ Type of injury
➢ First aid given
➢ Action taken to prevent further accidents

Hazardous substances
If the workplace hazard appears to be dangerous to staff and clients and professional
assistance is required:

A. Call the supervisor or manager and advise them of the problem and the urgency of the matter.
B. Depending on the risk it may be called as an evacuation.
C. Follow the evacuation procedure.
D. The supervisor or manager will call in the fire brigade or specialized personnel who will deal
with the spill.

Fire exits
All fire exits should be kept clear of from obstacles. All students have a responsibility to make
sure that chairs, empty boxes or any other type of obstacle are not placed in or near fire exit doorways.

All corridors also need to have equipment stored on one side only to ensure that in the event
of an emergency there is a clear exit.

Fire Safety Procedure

Each work area has a designated fire warden, who in the event of a fire will take charge. They
are recognized by the wearing of a red hard hat.

If you find the fire

➢ Assess the danger prior to doing anything.
➢ If it is safe to move assist anyone in the vicinity of the fire away from danger.
➢ If it is possible close the door to the fire area.
➢ Call for assistance. Verbally call FIRE, FIRE, in a loud and clear voice.
➢ Break the glass section of the fire alert call point.
➢ Call to the switch; ensure you know where the fire is, any other details that may be of
assistance to the fire brigade. Details could be size of the fire, cause or type of fire, any
people hurt or trapped, has anyone tried to put it out.
➢ If safe to do so, attack the fire with the correct extinguisher or fire hose.

If the designated fire officer is not present, someone quickly needs to take responsibility and:
1. Locate the source of the fire.
2. Locate any people.
3. Remove all people from the building.
4. Once outside do a head count?
5. Notify the authorities.
