    This document defines key terms related to basic troubleshooting of hardware and software, including electrical shock, cuts, burns, repetitive strain injury, and electrostatic discharge. Electrical shock is defined as sudden stimulation of the nerves caused by electricity from a charged source or exposing oneself to live electrical circuits. Cuts refer to sharp edges on sheet metal inside computer cases that can cause injury. Burns occur because electronic components like CPUs can become very hot. Repetitive strain injury is a condition causing pain or impairment from prolonged repetitive hand motions. Electrostatic discharge requires special precautions like wearing a wrist strap when servicing equipment. The document also provides the PASS method for using a fire extinguisher - Pull the pin, Aim at the base of

    Definition
    Sudden stimulation of the nerves
    or convulsive contraction of the
    muscles that is caused by the
    discharge through the body of
    electricity from a charged source,
    OR exposing yourself to live
    electrical circuits
    Avoid sharp edges on the sheet
    metal inside some computer
    cases.
    Electronic components,
    especially CPUs, can become
    very hot.
    condition in which the prolonged
    performance of repetitive actions,
    typically with the hands, causes pain or
    impairment of function in the tendons
    and muscles involved.

    Special precautions, such as


    wearing a wrist strap, must be
    taken when servicing equipment
    P = PULL the pin on the fire
    extinguisher
    A = AIM the extinguisher nozzle at
    the base of the fire
    S = SQUEEZE or press the handle
    S = SWEEP from side to side until
    the fire appears to be out
