Prepared by:

Definition of Terms
• precaution- a measure taken in advance to
prevent something dangerous, unpleasant,
or inconvenient from happening.
• contamination-the process of making
something dirty or poisonous, or the state

Following SafetyGuidelines
1.Protect people from injury.
2. Protect equipment from
damage.
3. Protect the environment
from contamination.
1. Always ground
or discharge
yourself before
touching any part of
the computer.
2. Do not work alone so that
there is someone who can
take care of you in case of
accident or emergency.
3. Be careful with
the tools that may
cause a short
circuit.
4. Always pull the
cable connector
on the handle and

rubber shoes
when standing
on the ground or
on a concrete
floor.

12. Take necessary precautions to
protect the component of the
computer from damage caused by

FIRE SAFETY
GUIDELINES
• Know the location of fire
extinguishers, how to use them, and
which to use for electrical fires and
for combustible fires.
•Find an escape route in
case a fire gets out of
control.
•Know how to contact
emergency services quickly.
•Keep the workspace clean.
•Keep most
solvents in a
separate area.
Why is it strictly prohibited to
plug electrical appliances like
computers if the hands are wet?
1.What is an emergency exit?
1. Situational Analysis:
A. The wet floor in a computer laboratory is a
hazard. However, no one uses the laboratory
because the learners are on summer vacation. Do
you think the risk is high?
Why?
B. Suppose you are the owner of a computer shop,
and you notice that the wires are hanging loosely.
How would you be able to fix this problem?
C. Suppose you are the teacher managing
the computer laboratory of the school, how would
you ensure the safety of your learners?
