COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING GRADE 11

Learning Activity Sheet No. 1, Quarter 1
I. Introductory Concept
A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools range from a traditional metal
cutting part of a machine to an element of a computer program that activates and controls a
particular function.
Safe Use of tools
Once selected, use the tool for the purpose for which it was designed. Not all tools come with
detailed instructions, but there are those that do spell out the safety ―Do’s and Don’ts for your safety.
If there are set-up/use options, operator judgment must always be based on what is the safest way
to use the tool.
Environmental Safety and Health Program requires the following:
• All tools be kept in good condition with regular maintenance
• The right tool be used for the job
• Each tool be examined before use AND damaged or defective tools NOT to be used
• Tools be operated according to manufacturer’s instructions
• The right protective equipment for the tool and activity be used

III. Activities
A. Let Us Review
Planning plays the most important role of achieving a successful task. Your ability to plan
properly will enable you to attain your target or purpose goal. Many successful entrepreneurs have

PLAN AND PREPARE FOR TASK TO BE UNDERTAKEN

The following are some factors to be considered when you plan and prepare for the tasks:
1. PLACE. See to it that the place for doing the task is conducive to work, well ventilated, clean,
and has good lighting. A space provided for freedom to move is important. A place chosen
will give your idea on what task is to be done.
2. WASTE DISPOSAL. Used wire or wire strips or other things that
can’t be used anymore must be disposed in proper storage bin or
container.
3. TOOLS/EQUIPMENT. Tools and equipment must match with the
task to be done. You should be careful enough to choose tools and
equipment that are worthy of use. They must be in good condition
so that it can be easily utilized without damaging the parts.
 A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task.
Tools range from a traditional metal cutting part of a machine to an
element of a computer program that activates and controls a particular
function.
Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool selection.
1. How do you select the best tool for the job? First, know and
understand in detail the scope of work to be accomplished, second,
plan for the scope considering the sequence of tasks.
2. Selecting the best tool for each task requires training in the proper
use of the tools, field experience in their safe use, and following the
manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for that specific tool.
3. When obtaining the tool all the associated tooling and consumable
parts, as recommended by the manufacturer, must be included.
In addition, related consumable parts must also be selected and used
according to their manufacturer’s instructions.
4. SAFETY. Always prioritize safety. Remember that accident is not
an excusable incident. It can be avoided. Always remember the
motto “Safety first”.
5. PROCEDURE/TASK. Identify what task to perform before
identifying materials and tools to use. The service procedure/task
to employ will tell you the corresponding tools and materials needed. Appropriate tools to use
with the task will enhance your ability to provide a competitive and efficient service.
C. Let Us Practice
Before doing the tasks to be undertaken, you must consider first in learning about
operational health and safety standards. Answer the question directly
Exercise:
In your workplace or in the laboratory, do you apply any operational health and safety
standards? In what way give at least 5 examples?
D. Let Us Remember
Occupational/ Operational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned
with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment.
Knowing OHS is essential to minimize the hazards and risks not only to students, trainers and
other people within the training institution but others who will be affected.
Reasons for occupational safety and standards are:
• Moral – an employee should not have to risk injury at work, nor should others have
associated with the work environment.
• Economic – many governments realize that poor occupational safety and health
performance results in cost to state
• Legal – OHS requirements maybe reinforced in civil law and/or criminal law
SAFETY PROCEDURES(OHS)
1. To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before
relocating the system
2. When adding and removing devices to or from the system, ensure that the power cables for the
devices are unplugged before the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power
cables from the existing system before you add a device
3. Make sure that your power supply is set to the correct voltage in your area
4. Before installing the Motherboard and adding a device on it, carefully read the entire manual
that came with the package.
5. To avoid short circuits, keep paper clips, screws, and staples away from connectors, slots,
sockets and circuitry
6. 6. Avoid dust, humidity, and temperature extremes. Do not place the product in any area where
it may become wet
7. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer
8. Do not work alone so that there’s someone who can take care of you in case of accident or
emergency.
9. Be careful with the tools that may cause short circuit
10.Always full the cable connector on the handle and not on the cable itself
11.Use only rubber shoes when standing on the ground or in a concrete floor
12.Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.
13.Always power off and unplug the computer before working on it.
14. Take away any liquid such as mineral water or soft drinks near your working area or near
computers.
15. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire and other emergencies are recognized.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not place any combustible materials near the power outlet.
2. Avoid using power cord with defects such as loose contacts and exposed conductors.
3. Avoid using connecting wires with exposed conductors.
4. Do all the wiring connection inside the computer system with the power off.
5. Check the proper connections before turning the circuit power on.
6. Remove any jewelry, which is conductive.
7. Check your measuring instruments for proper voltage, current, resistance setting before making
any measurement.
8. Refer to the mother manuals for its proper jumper setting and connection.
