OHS Guidelines for Computer Technicians

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policies and procedures are important to implement in computer servicing workspaces to prevent accidents, illnesses, and injuries by identifying hazards, assessing risks, and controlling risks such as tangled cords, unsecured equipment, and noise. As a future computer technician, it is the responsibility of technicians to know and follow OHS standards, especially when assembling and repairing expensive and sensitive electronic equipment. Proper hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control measures should be taken to facilitate safe OHS procedures.

OHS Policies and Procedures
Occupational Health and Safety or OHS is
concerned with health, safety, and welfare issues
in the workplace. Policies and procedures are
important in discussing OHS because it aims to
make the workplace safer and better for workers
and stakeholders. 

It is concerned with many factors such as removal


of hazards and reducing accidents in the
workplace.

As a future computer technician, it is


your responsibility to know these standard
protocols especially since you will be assembling
and repairing expensive and sensitive equipment
that need care and proper handling.
Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a set of


policies and procedures that is followed in a workplace in
order to prevent accidents, illnesses, and injuries. 

It involves knowing the risks that can be encountered in a


workplace and figuring out how it can be prevented.
 
Following OHS policies and procedures is important when
dealing with electronics since it would protect not only the
personnel dealing with the components, but also the unit
itself. 

Three steps may be done to facilitate OHS procedures in


a CSS work space:
1.Hazard identification
2.Risk assessment
3.Risk control
Occupational Health and Safety
In addition to that, here are some additional OHS
Procedures that must be observed in computer servicing:
Hazard Identification

Hazards are anything that can hurt a person.

Example of hazards that can be encountered when


conducting computer systems servicing are:

•Tangled electrical cords


•Unsecured or unevenly stacked boxes
•Noise

Hazard identification involves observing


the workplace’s surroundings to recognize
potential risks.
What are common hazards that can be
encountered in the electronic industry?
Risk Assessment
Risk Control
Once the hazard has been
identified and its risks have
been evaluated, it is time to
address these issues:

 Ask your supervisor for


instruction and training
before using or repairing
an equipment.

 Do not carry or move


heavy objects by yourself.
Choose an industry or any type of workplace that makes use of
computers or electronics (e.g. computer laboratory, computer shop,
stores, etc.).

You can also do this activity in your own home/ personal computer.

Observe the surroundings and make a list of hazards that may be


present in the workplace. Describe the risks.

Write down the possible interventions to control the risks.
