lesson or presenting the
new lesson May I ask somebody to give some of the major roles or jobs that a CSS NC2 holder can handle in the actual workplace?
B. Motivation Shows two videos: one is a messy computer laboratory, the other is a well-organized computer laboratory
Questions:
1. Can you please discuss before the class the context of the video that you have just watched?
C. Unlocking of difficulties Occupational Health and Safety or OHS- 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.
Hazards- any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone.
Risks- possibility of loss or injury.
D. ACTIVITY
I will show several photos of a computer working area where, aside from the computer equipment, glaring hazards and risks are
also noticeable.
What you will do is you will going to provide a detailed job description in each of the hazards and risks that you found out and
provide a respective resolution in each of the hazards or risks listed.
Note: A rubrics for rating the said activity will be shown on screen
E. ANALYSIS Contemplating on your point of view as a junior student, how can you become beneficial to prevent hazards and risks in a computer
workplace/ computer laboratory?
Hazard identification
Risk assessment
Risk control
Here are the 12 core OHS procedures that must be observed in computer systems servicing:
1. Do not work alone so that there’s someone who can take care of you in case of an emergency.
2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer before working on it.
3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid getting electrocuted or accidentally damaging computer parts.
4. Be careful with tools that may cause a short circuit.
5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer.
6. Do not use excessive force if things don’t quite slip into place.
7. Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and prevent accidents.
8. Hold the components on the edges and do not touch the Integrated Circuit (IC) parts.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the organization’s OHS procedures and practices.
10. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.
11. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire, and other emergencies are recognized.
12. Use a brush, compressed air, or blower in cleaning the computer system.
Hazard Identification
Hazards are anything that can hurt a person. Example of hazards that can be encountered when conducting computer systems
servicing are:
Hazard identification involves observing the workplace’s surroundings to recognize potential risks.
Common Hazards that can be Encountered in the Electronic Industry:
1. Physical hazards- can be further classified as an occupational or an environmental hazard. A common type of physical
hazards are cables tangles across the floor. It can cause someone to trip and fall. These can be addressed by making sure
that the workplace is in a clean and proper condition.
2. Mechanical Hazards- can either be a result from manual use of tools or powered equipment. An example of this is getting
entangled with tools and equipment used in the workplace that may lead to injuries.
3. Chemical Hazards- caused by exposure to chemicals in the workplace. Chemical hazards should be prevented as it can
cause long-term harmful health issues. In electronics, different chemicals will be used such as cleaning chemicals, dust
removers, cleaning solvents, oil, and others that is why it is important to be careful.
4. Electric Shock Hazards- is a dangerous condition that can be caused by direct electrical contact from an active equipment
or electrical conductor.
Risk Assessment
While hazards are what can harm the person, risk is the possibility of the hazard harming someone.
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.
Physical Hazards- one can use gaffers tape to manage and organize cables that need to run across the floor for a long period of
time. Gaffers tape is a strong adhesive that can stick to the floor in order to minimize disarray of computer cables. Besides this,
cable ties, cable wraps, and cable raceways can be used for long term cable routing.
Mechanical Hazards- can be prevented by ensuring that all equipment are well maintained. In addition to that, a person must be
well trained or supervised before using an unfamiliar equipment. Use equipment in the way the manufacturer had initially intended.
Chemical Hazards- To prevent chemical hazards, make sure to properly check labels of chemicals that will be used. Be on the
lookout for flammable substances. Make sure to follow procedures indicated on product labels or packaging.
Electric Shock Hazards- To minimize risks, make sure to check for faulty wiring before use. Do not disconnect power cords by
tugging on the wire. Instead, hold the plug end when disconnecting.
G. APPLICATION
Note: This can be done by hypothetically thinking of scenarios you already observed and experienced in the past when you were
working in computer shops or even at home.
