Safety Measures Q1 WK1 by Teacher Mike

Safety Measures
Health and safety hazards differ from one contact center to another. This
would depend among others on the tasks involved, the nature of the work
organization, performance quotas and requirements, type of clients, and
individual and psychosocial factors. 

The workers in contact centers invariably utilize computers in their business

activities and predispose them to risk factors that may affect the eyes and
musculoskeletal system. It is important that contact center practitioners
must exercise safety measures within their workplace. 

Do you know some computer-related

disorders? 

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders

(WMSDs)
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are disorders of the muscles, nerves,
tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, or spinal discs partially caused,
aggravated, accelerated, or exacerbated by adverse working conditions. The
development of WMSDs requires weeks, months, or years of exposure to
identified risk factors. 

Recovery is likewise prolonged, often extending long after exposure to the

risk factor has ceased. Symptoms of WMSDs may include pain, fatigue,
swelling, numbness, and tingling and may be experienced in any of the body
parts. In computer users, the usually affected areas are the neck, shoulder,
wrist/hand, and lower back. 
Visual Fatigue
Computer use is demanding to the eyes since work is done at a close
distance over long periods of time. Reduced blinking rate and widening of
the eye surface area when working with the computer contribute to
increased eye discomfort due to drying of the eyes. Symptoms of eye strain
include smarting, itchiness, redness, tearing or dryness, or eye pain. 

Health and Safety Measures in Using

Computer 
A. Adjusting and customizing the workstation

· Position top of monitor below eye level to favor a downward gaze

· Maintain a comfortable viewing distance of about an arm’s length

· Tilt the monitor backward by about 10 to 20°

· Adjust color, brightness, and contrast for eye comfort

· Place monitor perpendicular to window or light source to reduce glare

· Close blinds or dim lights if there is too much glare or reflection

· Always keep the monitor clean 

B. Selecting chairs that are appropriate for computer work 

· Adjustable height

· If provided, adjustable armrest height and splay

· Appropriate lumbar support

· Edges that are rounded

· Five-leg base for stability

· Fabric that breathes

· Seat pan that fits and swivels 

C. Adjusting the keyboard for the comfortable posture of the hands

and wrists

· Place the keyboard at approximately seated elbow height

· Keyboard height should allow the shoulders to be relaxed

· Wrist position should be straight and not bent or rotated

· Place the mouse next to the keyboard to avoid frequent reaching 

D. Good work practices to prevent aches and pains

· Frequently change body positions while consciously maintaining a neutral

body posture

- Alternate between standing and sitting

- Symmetry in posture (no twisting, rotation, or bending) is desired so that

compressive forces to and muscle forces of the spine will be equal. This, in
turn, may help prevent neck and back pain.

· Reduce repetitions by encouraging “break jobs” or jobs away from the

computer

- Arms and hands should be relaxed when not keying. Hands may be placed
on the lap instead of holding the fingers poised over the keys.

· Minimize stress on the body by making use of the workstation supports

provided such as the lumbar support, footrest, wrist/armrest, etc.

Promoting the habit of using the back support of the chair may induce a
reclining position rather than a forward-leaning position.

- Reduce eyestrain by:

- Detection and correction of the error of refraction

- Exercising eye muscles and blinking

- Looking into the distance

· Practice stress-reduction techniques

Learning Activies
Directions: Click the link below and watch the video. Count the
hazards that you will find in the office which are shown in the video.
Make a table containing the hazards and the possible accidents or
dangers that may happen if they were not corrected.

Hazard What could happen if the hazard was not corrected?

1. Faulty connection of extension wires It can cause a fire in the office

   

   

   

   

   

   

Direction: Modified True or False. Write T if the underlined

word/s in the statement is correct, if False change the
underlined word/s with the correct answer.
