What is It
Let’s now proceed with the lesson! The following section will provide you with a brief
discussion of the lesson. This will help you discover and understand new concepts
and skills. Let’s do this!
Occupational Health and Safety is defined as a field in public health that focuses on
illnesses and injuries which happen in the workplace. This aims to prevent injuries
and illnesses from happening. In working with computers, you’ll have to deal with
possible risks and hazards. The following are some of the OHS procedures you should
keep in mind when working with computers.
COMPUTER HARDWARE
A computer has two basic parts: hardware and software. Hardware components refer
to the tangible or touchable parts of the computer. On the other hand, software refers
9
to parts that can’t be touched physically. Computer hardware can also be classified
into four categories: input, process, storage, and output.
Input Devices
Input devices refer to the hardware components which are used to load information
into the computer. This can be letters, numbers, characters, sounds, images, and
other forms of data. The following are the most common input devices used:
Processing Devices
The data that has been received through the input devices will be processed by the
computer before it will be displayed on the screen or before it could be printed
through a printer. The device responsible for this stage is the processing device. A
processing device transforms input data into output. The following are processing
devices:
10
• The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is also known as the
brain of the computer. Just like how the brain functions
in a human body, the CPU also controls everything the
computer does. It receives information and carries out
CPU Photo by
computer instructions.
D-Kuru WikiMedia
Storage Device
The storage device is where files such as photos, documents, audio, videos, and many
more are stored. This also keeps files needed for the computer to run such as
operating systems files and utility files. The following are some storage devices:
11
Output Device
Output devices are used to display information that has been processed by the
computer. These can send out different kinds of information such as sound, text,
images, and videos. The following are examples of output devices:
Computer application software is a set of instructions that tells the computer what
to do. It is designed to complete a specific task. For example: in writing a business
letter using a computer, a word processing application is used. If you want to view a
movie, different application software would perform the job which is the media
player. There are many kinds of application software, a few of them are the following:
12
REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNET SEARCH
• Search Engine is used to look for items or words on the internet. This enables
a user to search the internet. The most common search engines are Google,
Bing! And Yahoo!. A search engine has a search bar or search box, where the
questions are typed. In the previous figure, this is where “URL meaning” has
been entered using the Google search engine.
COMPUTER MAINTENANCE
A computer, just like any other equipment, also needs to be taken care of. It needs
to be cleaned from the inside to the outside. To do this, you need to conduct the
following:
• Disk cleanup refers to a utility program that is used to clean the contents of
the hard disk. This involves deleting temporary files, cached webpages, and
items in the recycle bin.
• Checking disk errors is another utility program that checks the hard disk for
errors and automatically repairs it.
• Dusting the external and internal part of the computer
