What is It
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) refers to the rules, policies, procedures and
actions whose goal is to protect the health, safety and welfare of all people in a certain
workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards was formulated in 1978
in compliance with the constitutional mandate to safeguard the worker’s social and
economic well-being as well as his physical safety and health.
Every worker has a right to a safe and healthy job and to work in an environment
that allows them to live an economically and socially productive life. Safety practices
and procedures should be learned ahead and always adhered to when working with
any electrical device including personal computers and peripherals.
