DAY 2
I. MINI LESSON

Good day, learner! How are you? Today,

we will be continuing the topic on safety
procedure when dealing with computer
assembly.

Safety Procedures
It is essential to maintain safe working
conditions to prevent accidents and injury to any
person or damage to any object in a work area.
New staff and visitors must be informed of the
appropriate safety procedures. Any
transgression of the procedures must be
reported.
As an aspiring computer technician, you
should be aware of all possible dangers in the
workplace.
It is a must to follow proper procedures for handling computer
equipment. Failure to follow the prescribed safety procedures could
result in fines, criminal convictions, and damage to equipment, claims
for damage from the owner of the property and data, injury, or death.

4
 A safe work is clean, organized, and well-lit. The disposal or
recycling of hazardous computer components must be done properly.
Make sure to follow regulations that govern how to dispose specific
items. When an organization violates these regulations, there can be
legal consequences.
To keep you safe, this lesson provides the general and fire
safety guidelines that protect the technician and the equipment.

General Safety Guidelines

Follow the basic safety guidelines to prevent cuts, burns,
electrical shock, and damage to eyesight. As a best practice, make
sure that a fire extinguisher and first aid are available in case of fire or
injury. Here are some general safety guidelines:
▪ Remove your watch or any other jewelry and secure loose
clothing.
▪ Turn off the power and unplug equipment before, opening the
case and performing service.
▪ Cover any sharp edges inside the computer case with tape.
▪ Never open a power supply or a monitor.
▪ Do not touch areas in printers that are hot or those which use
high voltage.
▪ Know where the fire extinguisher is located and learn how to use
it.
▪ Know where the first aid kit is located
▪ Keep food and drinks out of your workspace.
▪ Keep your workspace clean and free of clutter.
▪ Lift heavy objects with sturdy leg support to avoid back injury.

Fire Safety Guidelines

Follow fire safety guidelines to protect equipment and lives. Turn
off and unplug the computer before beginning a repair to avoid
damage to the computer or electric shock to the technician. Fire can
spread rapidly and be very costly. Proper use of a fire extinguisher can
prevent a small fire from getting out of control. If there is a fire, you
should follow these safety procedures:
▪ Always have a planned fire escape route before beginning any
work.
▪ Never fight a fire that is out of control or not contained.
▪ Get out of the building quickly in case of an out-control fire.
▪ Contact emergency services immediately for help.

DAY 3
I. MINI LESSON

Good day, learner! How are you? Today,

we will be continuing the topic on safety
procedure when dealing with computer
assembly.

Occupational Health and Safety Policies and

Procedures

During the installation and initial test,

careful planning and preparation are to be done.
To avoid personal injury and damages to wiring
due to sharp pins on connectors and printed
circuit assemblies, rough chassis edges and
corners, and hot components.
Adhere to warnings and limitations
regarding accessibility into areas designated
only for authorized technical personnel.

Some Basic Precautions and Procedures

▪ Before starting the installation, carefully read the documentation

and procedures on any hardware and software setting that
maybe required.
▪ Failure to do the proper jumper setting may cause damage to
your CPU.
▪ Without an effective cooling fan, the CPU can overheat and
cause damage to both CPU and the motherboard.
▪ Each bank must have the same size and type of memory
installed in pairs.
▪ Before adding and removing any other system components,
make sure that you unplug your power supply. Failure to do so
may cause damage to your motherboard and in the system
component.
▪ Test the computer, ensuring that it meets the necessary system
requirements before booting up.

Effects of Computers
Some effects of computers relating to the violation of privacy, the
impact on the labor force, health, risk, and the impact on the
environment.
1. Violation of Privacy
Nearly every life event is stored in a computer somewhere
in medical records, credit reports, tax records, etc. It is crucial that
personal and confidential records be protected properly. In many
instances, where these records were not properly protected.
Individuals have found their privacy violated and identifies stolen.

2. Impact on Labor Force

Although computers have improved productivity in many
ways and created an entire industry with hundreds of thousands
of new jobs, the skills of millions of workers and managers have
been replaced by computers. Thus, it is crucial that workers keep
their education up to date. A separate impact on the labor force
is that some companies are outsourcing jobs to foreign countries
instead of keeping their homeland labor force employed.

3. Health Risks
Prolonged or improper computer use can lead to injuries or
disorders of the hands, wrists, elbows, eyes, necks, and back.
Computer users can protect themselves from these health risks
through proper workplace design, good posture while at the
computer, and appropriately spaced work breaks. Another health
risk, called computer addiction, occurs when someone becomes
obsessed with using the computer. Once recognized, computer
addiction is treatable disorder.

4. Public Safety
Adults, teen, and children around the world are using
computers to share publicly their photos, videos, journals, music,
and other personal information. Some of these unsuspecting,
innocent computer users have fallen victim to crimes committed
by dangerous strangers. Protect yourself and your dependents
from these criminals by being cautious. For example, do not
share information that would allow others to identify or locate you.

9
 5. Impact on Environment
Computer manufacturing processes and computer waste
are depleting natural resources and polluting the environment.
The amount of resources required to manufacture a personal
computer equals that of a mid-sized car. When computers are
discarded in landfills, they release toxic materials and potentially
dangerous levels of lead, mercury, and flame retardants.
Strategies that can help protect the environment include
recycling, regulating manufacturing processes, extending the life
of computers, and immediately donating replaced computers.
