Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken PLACE See to it that the place for doing the task is conducive to work, well ventilated, clean, and has good lighting. A space provided for freedom to move is important. A place chosen will give you idea on what task is to be done.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken WASTE DISPOSAL Used wire or wire strips or other things that can’t be used anymore must be disposed in proper storage bin or container.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken TOOLS/EQUIPMENT Tools and equipment must match with the task to be done. You should be careful enough to choose tools and equipment that are worthy of use. They must be in good condition so that it can be easily utilized without damaging the parts.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken TOOLS/EQUIPMENT A tool is a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task. Tools range from a traditional metal cutting part of a machine to an element of a computer program that activates and controls a particular function.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool selection. How do you select the best tool for the job? First , know and understand in detail the scope of work to be accomplished, Second , plan for the scope considering the sequence of tasks.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken Preparing for the task to be undertaken includes proper tool selection. Selecting the best tool for each task requires: training in the proper use of the tools, field experience in their safe use, and following the manufacturer’s guidance and instructions for that specific tool.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken When obtaining the tool all the associated tooling and consumable parts, as recommended by the manufacturer, must be included. In addition, related consumable parts must also be selected and used according to their manufacturer’s instructions.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken SAFETY Always prioritize safety. Remember that accident is not an excusable incident. It can be avoided. Always remember the motto “ Safety first”.
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken
Plan and Prepare for Task to be Undertaken PROCEDURE/TASK Identify what task to perform before identifying materials and tools to use. The service procedure/task to employ will tell you the corresponding tools and materials needed. Appropriate tools to use with the task will enhance your ability to provide a competitive and efficient service.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY AND PROCEDURE A planned system of working to prevent illness and injury where you work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY AND PROCEDURE Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the computer and technology industries.
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY AND PROCEDURE You must identify the hazards where you are working and decide how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.
1.) Do not work alone so that there’s someone who can take care of you in case of 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 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 brush, compressed air or blower in cleaning the computer system.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not place any combustible materials near the power outlet. Avoid using power cord with defects such as loose contacts and exposed conductors. Avoid using connecting wires with exposed conductors. Do all the wiring connection inside the computer system with the power off.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Check the proper connections before turning the circuit power on. Remove any jewelry, which is conductive. Check your measuring instruments for proper voltage, current, resistance setting before making any measurement. Refer to the mother manuals for its proper jumper setting and connection.
Common hazards encountered by computer technicians and users A hazard is a situation in the workplace that has the potential to harm the health and safety of people or to damage plant and equipment. The situation could involve a task, chemical or equipment used. Hazard management is a continuous process that can be used to improve the health and safety of all workplaces.
Physical Hazards Are factors within the environment that can harm the body without necessarily touching it. Radiation: including ionizing, nonionizing (EMF’s, microwaves, radio waves, etc.) High exposure to sunlight/ultraviolet rays Temperature extremes – hot and cold Constant loud noise
Physical Hazards One of the most common physical hazards involving computer technicians are cables running across the floor. REMEMBER : If you need to temporarily run a cable across the floor, place a Danger sign similar to those "wet floor" signs used by cleaning services.
Physical Hazards Other common physical hazards include leaving tools on top of ladders and placing electronic equipment in precarious positions or on support that is not sturdy enough or not designed for holding electronic equipment.
Mechanical Hazards Mechanical hazard factors include just about anything inorganic that moves or can injure you. These include many tools, machines and (moving) vehicles, high steps or stairs, if they are not secured against falling.
Mechanical Hazards You might move your hand past a computer chassis and lose a chunk of flesh because it is razor sharp. When working on electronic equipment always be alert to any possibility of being hurt by moving parts, hot components, or sharp edges.
Chemical Hazards Are present when a worker is exposed to any chemical preparation in the workplace in any form (solid, liquid or gas). Some are safer than others, but to some workers who are more sensitive to chemicals, even common solutions can cause illness, skin irritation, or breathing problems.
Chemical Hazards Beware of: Liquids like cleaning products, paints, acids, solvents – ESPECIALLY if chemicals are in an unlabeled container! Vapors and fumes that come from welding or exposure to solvents Gases like acetylene, propane, carbon monoxide and helium Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and explosive chemicals. Pesticides
Electric Shock Hazard An Electrical Hazard can be defined as a serious workplace hazard that exposes workers to burns, electrocution, shock, arc flash / arc blast, fire, or explosions.
Electric Shock Hazard Inside computers and electronic equipment, there is a range of voltages from 3.3 volts to 25 volts, most of these are harmless. But at the power supply, you'll find line voltage, which is a lethal 220 volts.
Electric Shock Hazard Most of the time while working inside computers and electronic equipment, you'll want them unplugged from the wall socket. If you need to work on equipment while it is still plugged in or powered up, remove all jewelry and wrist watches.
