Lesson
Occupational Health
1 and Safety (OHS)

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)

Refers to the legislation, policies, procedures, and activities that aim to protect the health,
safety, and welfare of all people at the workplace.

• Occupational health and safety (OHS) relates to health, safety, and welfare issues in the
workplace.
• OHS includes the laws, standards, and programs that are aimed at making the
workplace better for workers, along with co-workers, family members, customers, and
other stakeholders.
• Improving a company's occupational health and safety standards ensures good
business, a better brand image, and higher employee morale

Occupational health and safety standards are in place to mandate the removal, reduction, or replacement
of job site hazards. OHS programs should also include material that helps minimize the effects of the
hazards.
 Employers and company management are obliged to provide a safe working environment for all of their
employees.

Occupational health and safety is concerned with addressing many types of workplace hazards, such as:

• Chemicals
• Physical hazards
• Biological agents
• Psychological fallout
• Ergonomic issues
• Accidents

Occupational Health and Safety standards

Each student has a responsibility to their colleagues and their organization to report and act upon any
potential workplace hazard. Students need to be aware of the type of hazards that are possibly present
in their work environment.

Procedure:

1. Identify the hazard.

2. Clear the area close to the hazard.
3. Partition the hazard off or clearly identify the area to protect other people from harm.
4. If the hazard is easily and safely cleared, then do so
If not ...

5. Report the hazard to the appropriate person (such as teacher in charge, principal etc.) to obtain
assistance.

6. Following clearing of the hazard fill out the correct documentation to assist in identifying improved
practice to reduce further incidence of hazards.

All hazards must be reported using Accidental Report form. This enables us to track the kinds of hazards
we have in our workplace, and take action where necessary to make it safer for all student and clients.

Accident reports
Forms are used to give specific details with regards to the accidents happened in the laboratory during
experiments.
Accident reports contain the following details:

• Name of the person injured

• Date and time of the accident
• Type of injury
• First aid given
• Action taken to prevent further accidents
An OHS Policy is simply a method of stating how you, your employees, contractors and
visitors are expected to behave when they are on Company property or performing
Company related activities. As an employer or responsible contractor, you are required by
law to provide a ‘safe system of work’.

12 Occupational Health and Safety Policies in Computer System Servicing.

1. Do not work alone so that there’s someone who can take care of you in case of an emergency.

2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer before working on it.

3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid getting electrocuted or accidentally damaging
computer parts.

4. Be careful with tools that may cause a short circuit.

5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer.

6. Do not use excessive force if things don’t quite slip into place.

7. Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and prevent accidents.

8. Hold the components on the edges and do not touch the Integrated Circuit (IC) parts.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with the
organization’s OHS procedures and practices.

10. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable connector.

11. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire, and other emergencies are
recognized.

12. Use a brush, compressed air, or blower in cleaning the computer system.

2 ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
SCHEMATICS AND DRAWINGS

Electronic schematics are like recipes for electronics. They tell you what
ingredients to use and how to mix the ingredients. But instead of using text to explain the recipe,
a drawing is used.

One of the features of a quality electronic diagram is its appearance with

simplicity in design and easy-to-understand layout. To achieve this, you have to follow the
following standards in laying out electronic diagrams.
Rules for Drawing Symbols.
Recommended practices to be used in the application of symbols to a circuit
diagramare listed below.

1. The position of a symbol on a diagram does not affect its meaning.

2. The weight of a line used in drawing a symbol does not affect its meaning. In some cases, a
heavier line may be used to emphasize a particular symbol.

3. A given symbol may be drawn in any size that is suitable for use in any particular diagram.
However, when a symbol is enlarged or reduced in size, it
should be drawn in proportion to the rest of the drawing.
4. If necessary for contrast, some symbols may be drawn smaller or larger than other symbols
on a diagram. However, for simplicity, it is recommended that not more than two different sizes
of symbols be used on any one diagram.

5. In general, a connecting line should be brought to a symbol either vertically or

horizontally, but a connecting line brought to a symbol at an angle has no particular
significance unless otherwise noted.

6. The arrowhead of a symbol may be open ( ) or closed ( ) unless otherwise noted.

7. The standard symbol for terminal (o) may be added to any symbol. But when this is done,
the terminal symbol should not be considered a part of the symbol itself.

Reference Designations

The symbols used to represent various components on a circuit diagram are most often
accompanied by a combination of letters that identify the components but are not themselves
a part of the symbol (Table 3-1).

Table 3-1. Reference Designations of Electronic Components

Components Class Designation Letter(s)

Capacitor C
Diode D
Resistor R
Switch S or SW
Transformer T
Transistor Q or TR
When more than one symbol of a specific type of component appears on a diagram, the
letter (or letters) is followed by numbers that identify the components. These
combinations of letters and numbers are referred to as reference designations
(Fig. 3-1).

Fig. 3-1. Recommended methods of indicating reference designations and component values.

Numerical Values of Components

When details of the type, rating; or value of a particular component are to be given on a
diagram, this information is placed adjacent to the symbol or is given by means of notes
accompanying the diagram. For example, resistance and capacitance values are indicated as
shown in Fig. 1-3. In this scheme, the symbol Ω for ohms and the abbreviations μF and pF for
capacitance values are usually omitted and are instead replaced by notes such as the
following:

1. All resistors expressed in ohms unless otherwise indicated.

2. All capacitors expressed in microfarads unless otherwise indicated.
A resistance value of 1,000 ohms or more is most often expressed in terms of Kilohm (K) or
Meghm (M) units. Thus a resistance of 4,700 ohms is written as 4.7K, while a resistance of
270,000 ohms may be written as 270K or as 0.27M. The comma used when writing a 4-digit
number such as 4,700 is not used when such a number is given on a diagram.

Capacitance values of 1 through 9,999 picofarads are usually expressed in picofarad units.
Capacitance values greater than 10,000 picofarads should be expressed in microfarad
units.

Suffix Letters
Suffix letters are used to identify separate parts of a unit upon a diagram when such
components appear as a single, enclosed unit as shown in Fig. 3-2. C1A and C1B are the
suffix letters used in the diagram.

Fig. 3-2. Two capacitors are enclosed in one unit.

 Fig. 3-2. Two capacitors are enclosed in one unit.

Layout
The layout or form of a diagram should show the main features prominently. The
parts of a diagram should be carefully spaced to provide an even balance between blank
spaces and lines. Enough blank space should be left in the areas near symbols to avoid
crowding any necessary notes or reference information (Fig. 3-3).

Brackets and leader lines Thin
Boundary of mechanical grouping Thin
For emphasis Thick

Connecting Lines
Lines connecting symbols and other parts on a diagram should, whenever
possible, be drawn either horizontally or vertically. As a general rule, no more than three
lines should be drawn to any point on a circuit diagram (Fig. 3-4A). This procedure
reduces the possibility of line crowding that could make the interpretation of a diagram more
difficult than necessary.
 RECOMMENDED AVOID IF POSSIBLE

Fig. 3-4. Connecting lines. (A) recommended and undesirable methods of drawing lines to
a point upon a diagram, (B) two “groups” of connecting lines drawn parallel to each other.

When connecting lines are drawn parallel to each other, the space between them should
be at least 1/16 inch when the diagram is reduced to a final size.

Interrupted Lines

Connecting lines whether single or in groups, may be interrupted when a diagram

does not provide for a continuation of these lines to their final destination. When a single
line is interrupted, the line identification can also indicate the destination (Fig. 3-5A).
When groups of lines are interrupted, the destination of the lines is usually given in
conjunction with brackets (Fig. 3-5B). In all cases, the lines should be located as close as
possible to the point of interruption.

Dashed Lines

Dashed lines (----------) are used on schematic and other types of diagrams to
show a mechanical linkage between components or parts of components.

ELECTRONIC SCHEMATIC SYMBOL

To be able to read schematics you must know the schematic symbols. Here is an
overview of the most used symbols in circuit diagrams.
 Electronic
Schematic Symbols Uses/Application
Components
A large and a small line is suppose to
Battery represent one battery cell so that the image
below would suggest a two-cell battery of 3
V. But usually people just draw the battery
symbol with one or two cells no matter what
voltage it is.
European Style Capacitors are either polarized or not. The
symbols that are used for the two are shown
below. Both in European and US style.
Capacitor
US Style Is a device that stores electrical
energy in an electric field.

The schematic symbol of the resistor are

drawn in two different ways. The american
Resistor style resistor is drawn as a zigzag resistor
while the european style resistor is drawn as
a rectangular resistor.

component that implements electrical
resistance as a circuit element.

The variable resistor or potentiometer is

Variable resistor drawn in several different ways. The symbol
(Potentiometer) is often drawn as a resistor with an arrow
across it or pointing down on it as the one
beside.
The diode family has several different
Standard symbols because there are several
Diode Diode different types of diodes. Beside is a
standard diode, a zener diode and a Light
Zener Diode Emitting Diode (LED).

Light Emitting
Diode
Bipolar Junction Transistor The most common transistor types are the
Transistor Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) and the
Field Effect Transistor (FET).

Field Effect Transistor

The inductor symbol looks like a coiled wire
Inductor as this is what an inductor essentially is.

The operational amplifier or “Opamp” is

Operational represented as a triangle with two inputs and
Amplifier one output. In some cases, the power supply
pins are also added. Beside, a version
without power supply pins are shown.

A switch can be represented in

Switch numerous ways in electronic
schematics.
Transformer The symbol of the transformer looks like two
(Trafo) inductors with something in between them.
