Concept Notes:
Control aspects of work production that involve any degree of risk or danger that may cause injury or harm. This
process eliminates such elements to ensure employee safety & health.

OHS Policies and Procedures

OHS Policies and Procedures are a major part of protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in
work or employment. Having a clear set of OHS Policies and Procedures will make it clear to all concerned where the
guidelines and boundaries are in relation to the operation of the business.

Most OHS Policies and Procedures follow a similar format, the generally include:
• AIM: The main goal that the policy intends to achieve
• POLICY: This would be the actual working document. This is the specifics of what needs to be done and how the
company will achieve its goal.
• PROCEDURES: This would explain a step by step process on how a task should be done safely.

The Reasons for OH & S:

• Eliminates possible danger.
• Safeguard employee productivity.
• Means to promote workplace processes.
• Protect employee rights.
• Maintain worker health.

CONCEPT NOTES:
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to manipulate symbols.
Principal characteristics of a computer
➢ It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner.
➢ It can execute a pre-recorded list of instructions (a program).
➢ It can quickly store and retrieve large amounts of data.
A computer is not an acronym and sometimes abbreviated as comp or 'puter. The term "computer" was originally given
to humans (human computers) who performed numerical calculations using mechanical calculators, such as the abacus
and slide rule.

TYPES OF COMPUTER
1. Workstation -A workstation is a high-end personal computer designed for technical or scientific applications.
Used by one person at a time, they are commonly connected to a local area network and run multi-user operating
systems.
2. Desktop computer -The term 'desktop' refers specifically to a horizontally oriented case, the personal computer
(PC) defines a computer designed for general use by a single person.
3. Single unit -Single unit PCs (also known as all-in-one PCs) are a subtype of desktop computers, which combine
the monitor and case of the computer within a single unit.
4. Nettop - A nettop (or miniature PC, Mini PC or Smart Micro PC) is a small-sized, inexpensive, low-power,
legacy-free desktop computer designed for basic tasks such as Internet surfing, accessing web-based applications,
document processing, and audio/video playback.
5. Laptop - Also called notebooks, laptops are portable computers that integrate the display, keyboard, a pointing
device or trackball, processor, memory and hard drive all in a battery-operated package slightly larger than an
average hardcover book.
6. Netbook - It is a generic name given to a category of small, lightweight, legacy free, and inexpensive laptop
computers that were introduced in 2007.
7. Tablet PC -A tablet PC is a notebook or slate-shaped mobile computer, first introduced by Pen computing in the
early 90s with their Pen Go Tablet Computer and popularized by Microsoft. Its touchscreen or graphics
tablet/screen hybrid technology allows the user to operate the computer with a stylus or digital pen, or a fingertip,
instead of a keyboard or mouse.
8. Ultra-Mobile PC - Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) is a small handheld computer with the capacity to run the Windows
operating system (OS).
9. Pocket PC - A Pocket PC (P/PC, PPC), also known by Microsoft as a 'Windows Mobile Classic device', is a kind
of personal digital assistant (PDA) that runs the Windows Mobile operating system. It has some of the abilities of
modern desktop PCs.

ESSENTIAL PARTS OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM

Name of Image Definition/Uses and functions
components
1. Central The primary component of a computer that processes
processing instructions. The CPU contains at least one processor,
unit/processor which is the actual chip inside the CPU that performs
(CPU) calculations. The central processing unit, or CPU, is part of
a computer which executes software program instructions.
2. RAM The memory or information storage in a computer that is
(random used to store running programs and data for the programs.
access Data (information) in the RAM can be read and written
memory) quickly in any order. Normally, the random-access memory
is in the form of computer chips.
3. Hard It is a secondary storage device used to store data
drive/SSD permanently. Main storage of the computer system where
program and files are stored. Mass storage devices store
programs and data even when the power is off; they do
require power to perform read and write functions during
usage.
4. Video card Video cards are also referred to as graphics
cards. Video cards include a processing unit, memory, a
cooling mechanism and connections to a display device.

5. Motherboard is the main circuit board of your computer and is also

known as the mainboard or logic board. If you ever open
your computer, the biggest piece of silicon you see is
the motherboard. Attached to the motherboard, you will
find the CPU, ROM, memory RAM expansion slots, PCI
slots, and USB ports.
6. Video A visual display unit (or monitor) is a piece of
Display Unit electrical equipment, usually separate from the
computer case, which displays viewable images
generated by a computer without producing a
permanent record.

7. Computer A computer case is the enclosure that contains the main

case components of a computer. Cases are usually constructed
from steel or aluminum. Cases can come in many
different sizes, or form factors.

Definition of Terms:

• Hardware - the physical, touchable, electronic and mechanical parts of a computer system.
• Main memory - A PC's main memory is fast storage that is directly accessible by the CPU and is
used to store the currently executing program and immediately needed data.
• Adapter Cards - The video card - otherwise called a graphics card, graphics adapter or video adapter -
processes and renders the graphics output from the computer to the computer display and is an essential
part of the modern computer.
• Mass storage - Mass storage refers to systems meant to store large amounts of data. Modern mass
storage devices include all types of disk drives and tape drives.
 • LAN Card – is a network interface card. This is a computer circuit board or card that is
installed in a computer so that it can be connected to a network.
• Ports - External connecting sockets on the outside of the computer. This is a pathway into and out
of the computer. A port lets users plug in outside peripherals, such as monitors, scanners and
printers.

Concept Notes

Peripheral device is any component or piece of equipment that expands a computer’s input, storage, and
output capabilities. Peripheral devices serve specific purpose, enhance a computer’s functions, or add new
service or additional resources.

Classification of Peripheral Devices

1. Input Devices
2. Output device

1. Monitor – is the display device that takes the electrical signals from the video card and forms an
image using points of colored light on the screen.
2. Speaker – plays sounds transmitted as electrical signals from the sound card.
3. Printer - an output device that produces text and graphics on paper.
4. Keyboard – an input device that converts letters, numbers, and other characters into electrical
signals readable by the processors.
5. Mouse – is used for inputting commands and to manipulate objects viewed on the computer display
screen.
6. Microphone - a device that converts sounds to electrical signals by means of a vibrating diaphragm.
7. Scanner - it is an input device that reads text or illustration printed on paper, translates the information
into a form that a computer can use.
8. Digital Camera – use a light-sensitive processor chip to capture photographic images in digital form
on a small diskette inserted in the camera or on flash memory chips.
9. Graphic tablet – objects are drawn using a pen or a puck. The puck is technically a tablet cursor,
not a mouse.
10. Joystick - a hand-held control stick that allows a player to control the movements of a cursor
on a computer screen or a symbol in a video game.
