Before doing the tasks to be undertaken, you must consider first in learning about
operational health and safety standards.

Exercise:

In your workplace or in the laboratory, do you apply any operational health and safety
standards? In what way?

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

Each hardware performs a specific function. It could be as an Input Device or as an Output

Device.

Exercise:

How can you relate the parts of the computer to a person?

What is Data?

Data is a collection of facts and figures, such as values or measurements.

The data is the raw material to be processed by a computer.

Data versus Information

When data are processed, interpreted, organized, structured or presented so as to make them
meaningful or useful, they are called information

Differences in Meaning

School ID: 410249

The raw input is data and it has no significance when it exists in that form. When data is
collated or organized into something meaningful, it gains significance. This meaningful
organization is information.

Types of Data Numeric data

• The data which is represented in the form of numbers

• This includes 0-9 digits, a decimal point (.) +, /, - sign and the letters “E” or “D”.

Character data

Data Processing Cycle

- Data processing is simply the conversion of raw data to meaningful information through a
process.

Ednalino Bldg., Jasmin St., Brgy. Poblacion, Candelaria, Zambales
School ID: 410249

- The data is processed again and again until the accurate result is achieved.

Input

- Input is the task where verified data is coded or converted into machine -
readable form so that it can be processed through a computer

A hardware is an input device if it is used to enter data or give commands to the

computer. Two of the most common input devices are keyboard and mouse. A
keyboard is an input device because if you want to enter data to the computer, we have to
press the keys or each letter, numbers or special keys. A mouse is also an input device
because if you want to give instruction to the computer, we have to press its buttons.

Processing

- Processing is when the data is subjected to various means and methods of manipulation,
the point where a computer program is being executed, and it contains the program
code and its current activity.
• Classifying
• Sorting
• Calculating
• Summarizing
• Comparing

Output
- Output is presented to users in various report formats like printed report, audio, video
or on monitor.

• Graphics
• Audio
• Video

A hardware is an output device if it gives the results done by the computer. Some of
the common devices are: monitor, which displays the text, graphics and documents done
in the computer; the printer, it prints on the paper the text and graphics that you have
inputted to. Speakers and headphones are output device because through them you
could hear sounds and music coming from your computer.

Storage

- Storage is a location which data instruction and in which data, instruction and
information are held for future use
- Every computer uses to hold system software and application software
- A storage medium, also called secondary storage is the physical material in the
computer that keeps data, instruction and information.

Types of Data Processing Manual Data Processing

The process of data entry implies many opportunities for errors, such as:
• Delays in data capture
• A high amount of operator misprints,
• High labor costs from the amount of manual labor required etc.

Electronic data processing

• Use of computers for recording, manipulating, and summarizing data

• Computer can help
• Accuracy
• Speed
• Consistency
• Storage capacity
• Automation
