Safety Procedures and Potential Hazards for Users and Technicians

To eliminate potential hazards that could result in injuries or fires, it is a best practice
to have a first aid kit and fire extinguisher on hand.

General Safety Guidelines


 Remove any watches or jewelry
 Always wear eye protection
 Wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
 Follow the correct procedure for using every tool
 Secure loose clothing
 Always use the proper tool required for the job
 Cover sharp edges inside the system case with tape
 Never open the power supply or monitor
 Do not touch areas that are hot or with high voltage usage.
 Do not eat and drink within the workspace
 Keep the workspace free from clutter
 Ensure the proper placement and arrangement of equipments
 Ensure proper lighting
 Use your legs, not your back, when lifting heavy objects
 Remove the anti-satic wrist strap when replacing or installing a power supply or
monitor,
 Know where the fire extinguisher and first aid kit are closed.

In order to prevent files, It is important to know how to use a fire extinguisher.

There are four basic steps: P-A-S-S

P - Pull the pin


A - Aim at the base of the fire
S - Squeeze the lever
S - Sweep the nozzle from side to side

Fire Safety Guidelines


 Turn off and unplug the computer before starting any repairs
 Keep flammable liquids and materials in a safe place
 Do not fight a fire that is not contained
 Have a fire escape route planned
 Contact emergency services (Fire Department, Police)
 Get out of the building quickly but in an orderly fashion
 Keep calm and do not panic

If ever you may have been caught on fire, remember to DROP, TUCK, and ROLL

Safety Procedures to Protect Equipment from Damage and Data Loss


The build-up of electric charge resting on a surface is called static electricity, when
this build-up is suddenly released. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurs. ESD, harsh
climates, and power fluctuations could cause damages, though seldom permanent, to
the computer. There are a few safety procedures that can be done to prevent damage
to the equipment that could result in possible data loss.

Electrostatic Discharge Protection


 Keep all unused components in artistic bags.
 Use an antistatic mat on the workbench or on the floor of the work area.
 Use an antistatic wrist strap when working on computers and any of its
components
 Avoid carpeted areas when working on computers

Climate Protection
 The temperature of the workplace should not be too hot or too cold.
 The humidity of the workplace should not be too high or tool low.

Types of power fluctuations:


Blackout - Loss of AC power
Brownout - Reduced voltage level of AC power
Noise - Interference from generators and lighting
Spike - Sudden increase in voltage
Power Surge - Dramatic increase in voltage

Safety Procedures to Protect the Environment from Contamination

3
Computers and other peripheral devices contain materials that can harm the
environment. Hence these should be disposed of properly.

COMPONENT HAZARDOUS MATERIAL


Cathode Ray Tube Lead, Barium, Mercury, Berylium,
Cadmium, and other heavy materials
Printed Circuit Board Brominated Dioxin, Lead, Tin, and Glass
Dust
Chips and Gold Plated Components Hydrocarbons, Heavy Metals, Tin, Lead,
and Brominated Dioxins
Plastic from Printers, Keyboards, Brominated Dioxins, Heavy Metals, and
Monitors, etc. Hydrocarbons
Computer Wires Hydrocarbon Ashes

Proper Disposal Guidelines

1. Contact Local Recycling or Waste Management Centers


2. Contact Manufacturer to inquire about end-of-life services.
3. Disposal of any computer components and peripheral devices must be in
compliance with local environmental regulations.
4. Never dump any chemicals or solvents down any drain.
