What is OHS
 OHS
Occupational health and safety is a
cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting
the safety, health and welfare of people engaged
in work. The goal of all occupational health and
safety programs is to foster a safe work
environment. As a secondary effect, it may also
protect co-workers, family members, employers,
customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and
other members of the public who are impacted by
the workplace environment.
 Safety First!
To fully understand the importance of OHS,
look at your household. Choose one of the
options bellow and think how your
household members are performing it safety.
What are the precautions to allow them
accomplish such task safe.
a. Slicing vegetable
b. Using a candle during brownout
c. Cooking
d. Lifting something heavy
Safety Precautions (OHS)
Related to Computer
Hardware Servicing

Computer equipment can be

dangerous, and you or others
can be injured or even killed if
you don’t follow proper safety
guidelines when working
along PC’s. The following are
some precautionary measures
to take before/while working
with any computer
equipment:
Personal protective equipment is correctly
used in accordance with organization OHS
procedures and practices.
•Always discharge body’s static charge before
touching any part of the computer.
Be careful
with the
tools that
may cause
short circuit
Take off any
metal objects
on your arms
or fingers such
as bracelets,
rings or
watches.
Wear rubber
sole shoes when
standing on the
ground or in a
concrete floor. 
Fully shut down
and unplug the
computer before
you make any
attempts to
disassemble the
tower.
Hold the components by the
edges and do not touch the IC’s. 
Do not use excessive force if
things don’t quite slip into place.
Make sure your hands are completely dry to avoid
damaging any mechanical parts as well as to avoid
electrocution.
Don’t eat or drinks while working.

 ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
•ESD is the release of static electricity when two
objects come into contact. This charge can, and
often does, damage electronic components.
•Lowest static voltage transfer that you can feel is
around 3,000 volts. A static transfer that you can see
is at least 10,000 volts! Just by sitting in a chair, you
can generate around 100 volts of static electricity.
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
•It would make sense that these thousands of
volts would damage computer components.
However, a component can be damaged with as
little as 80 volts! That means, if your body has a
small charge built up in it, you could damage a
component without even realizing it.

Directions:
Enumerate at least
10 Occupation
health and Safety
(OHS) policies and
procedures related
to CS.
WorkStation
•A workstation is a high-
end personal computer
designed for technical or
scientific applications.
Intended primarily to be
used by one person at a
time, they are commonly
connected to a local area
network and run multi-
user operating systems.
Desktop
Computer
Desktop computers come in
a variety of styles ranging
from large vertical tower
cases to small form factor
models that can be tucked
behind an LCD monitor. In
this sense, the term
'desktop' refers specifically
to a horizontally-oriented
case, usually intended to
have the display screen
placed on top to save space
on the desk top.
 Single Unit
PC
•Single unit PCs (also
known as all-in-one
PCs) is a subtype of
desktop computers,
which combine the
monitor and case of
the computer within a
single unit.
Nettop
•It was
introduced by
Intel in
February 2008
to describe low-
cost, lean-
function,
desktop
computers.
Laptop
•A laptop computer or
simply laptop, also called
a notebook computer or
sometimes a notebook, is
a small personal
computer designed for
portability.
Netbook
•Netbooks (also called
mini notebooks or
subnotebooks) are a
rapidly evolving category
of small, light and
inexpensive laptop
computers suited for
general computing and
accessing web-based
applications; they are
often marketed as
"companion devices," that
is, to augment a user's
other computer access.
 Tablet PC
A tablet PC is a notebook or
slate-shaped mobile
computer, first introduced by
Pen computing in the early
90s with their PenGo Tablet
Computer and popularized by
Microsoft. Its touchscreen or
graphics tablet/screen hybrid
technology allows the user to
operate the computer with a
stylus or digital pen, or a
fingertip, instead of a
keyboard or mouse.
Ultra-Mobile PC
• The ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) is a
specification for a small form
factor of tablet PCs. It was
developed as a joint
development exercise by
Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung,
among others. Current UMPCs
typically feature the Windows
XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7,
or Linux operating system and
low-voltage Intel Atom or VIA
C7-M processors.
Pocket PC
•A pocket PC is a hardware
specification for a handheld-
sized computer (personal digital
assistant) that runs the Microsoft
Windows Mobile operating
system. It may have the
capability to run an alternative
operating system like NetBSD or
Linux. It has many of the
capabilities of modern desktop
PCs.
