Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)

It is also expected that they can  give at least six occupational health and safety (OHS) that are related to computer hardware servicing.

The following are the examples of OHS that is related to computer hardware servicing. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire and other emergencies are recognized. Personal protective equipment are correctly used in accordance with organization OHS procedures and practices. Hazard/risks in the workplace and their corresponding indicators are identified to minimize or eliminate risk to co-workers, workplace and environment. Always discharge yourself before touching any part of the computer. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit. Wear rubber sole shoes when standing on the ground or in a concrete floor. 

The following are the examples of OHS that is related to computer hardware servicing. Always power off and unplug the computer before working on it. When making circuit changes, switch off and unplug the power cord from the equipment then discharge the capacitors.  Replace only fuses with those proper rating. Hold the components by the edges and do not touch the IC’s.  Read and follow instructions on the manual carefully. Do not use excessive force if things don’t quite slip into place
