Introduction

Occupational Health and Safety or OHS is concerned with health, safety, and welfare issues in the workplace.
Policies and procedures are important in discussing OHS because it aims to make the workplace safer and better
for workers and stakeholders. 

It is concerned with many factors such as removal of hazards and reducing accidents in the workplace.

As a future computer technician, it is your responsibility to know these standard protocols especially since you
will be assembling and repairing expensive and sensitive equipment that need care and proper handling.

TOPIC 1: Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational
Health and Safety (OHS) is a
set of policies and procedures that is followed in a workplace in order to
prevent
accidents, illnesses, and injuries. 

It involves knowing the risks that can be

encountered in a workplace and figuring out how it can be prevented.

 
Following OHS policies and procedures is
important when dealing with electronics since it would protect not only the
personnel dealing with the components, but also the unit itself. 

Three steps
may be done to facilitate OHS procedures in a CSS work space:

1. Hazard
identification
2. Risk assessment
3. Risk control

In addition to that, here are some additional

OHS Procedures that must be observed in computer servicing:

TOPIC 2: Hazard Identification

Hazards are anything that can hurt a person.

Example of hazards that can be encountered when conducting computer
systems
servicing are:

Tangled electrical cords

Unsecured or unevenly stacked boxes

Noise

Hazard identification involves observing the

workplace’s surroundings to recognize potential risks.

What
are common hazards that can be encountered in the electronic industry?

TOPIC 4: Risk Control

Once the hazard has been identified and its

risks have been evaluated, it is time to address these issues:

Ask your supervisor for instruction and

training before using or repairing an equipment.

Do not carry or move heavy objects by

yourself.
