HAZARDS AND RISKS
• What is the difference between 'hazard' and 'risk’?
• A hazard is something that can cause harm, eg
electricity, chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, a
keyboard, a bully at work, stress.
• Risk is the chance or probability that a person will be
harmed or experience an adverse health effect once to
a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property
or equipment loss. A risk is the chance, high or low, that
any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.
Hazard Identification, Risk
Assessment, and Risk Control
• Occupational safety and health (OSH)
is a planned system of working to prevent illness and
injury where you work by recognizing and identifying
hazards and risks. 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.
• There are three steps used to
manage health and safety at work:
1. Spot The Hazard ( Hazard
Identification )
2. Assess the Risk ( Risk
Assessment )
3. Make the Changes ( Risk Control )
Common hazards encountered
by computer technicians and
users
• Physical Hazards
Physical hazards are factors or conditions within
the environment that can harm your health.
Examples of these hazards are body stressing,
confined spaces, electricity, heat, heights, noise
and vibration.
Mechanical Hazards
• Mechanical hazards are those associated with
power-driven machines, whether automated or
manually operated. Examples are; crushing,
shearing, cutting, entanglement, trapping,
impact, stabbing or puncture and friction.
Chemical Hazards
• A hazardous chemical can be a solid, liquid or
gas. It can be a pure substance, consisting of
one ingredient, or a mixture of substances.
Examples are skin irritants, carcinogens, and
respiratory sensitizers.
Electric Shock Hazards
• Electrical hazard or Electric Shock may be
defined as “Dangerous event or condition due to
direct or indirect electrical contact with
energized conductor or equipment and from
which a person may sustain electrical injury from
shock, damage to workplace environment,
damage to property or both.
CRT Monitor High-Voltage
Hazard
• CRT monitors are becoming less common nowadays,
but should you run into one, it is best NOT to open it up.
Instead, outsource any CRT repair job to a qualified CRT
repair service. A CRT monitor has a high-voltage anode
inside it, which can carry a charge of up to 25,000 volts,
and it can still be holding a high charge days after the
power is removed.
Biological Hazard
• Biological hazards are organic substances that
present a threat to the health of people and
other living organisms. Dangers can come from
unclean restrooms, mold and fungus, bacteria,
insect stings, animal bites and poorly stored
medical waste
Ergonomics Hazards
• Ergonomic hazards are physical factors
in the environment that may cause
musculoskeletal injuries. This includes
lighting, chairs, lifting, repeating and
computer screens.
Psychological Hazard
• Those that are basically causing stress to a
worker. This kind of hazard troubles an individual
very much to an extent that his general well-
being is affected. Workplace causes of stress
include heavy workloads, lack of control over the
pace of work, shift work, noise, fear of job loss
and conflict with employer.
Safety Hazard
• Safety hazards are unsafe working
conditions that can cause injury, illness,
and death. Safety hazards are the most
common workplace risks. This includes
slipping or tripping hazards, inappropriate
machine guarding, equipment
malfunctions or breakdowns.
Applying 5s on your computer
• You work with documents,
presentations, graphics, and other files
all day - and chances are, you have a
lot of them. And that means it takes
time to find the documents you need.
Even if it is just a couple of minutes
here, and a couple of minutes there, it
all adds up.
• 1. Seiri. Sorting/Putting things in order
(Remove/discard what is not needed so
that there are fewer hazards and less
clutter to interfere with work. Only keep
what is needed.)
• 2. Seiton. Orderliness/Proper
Arrangement (Place things in such a
way that they can be easily reached
whenever they are needed. "There
must be a place for everything, and
everything must be in its place.")
• 3. Seiso. Clean/cleanliness. (Keep
workplace and things clean and
polished; no trash or dirt in the
workplace)
• 4. Seiketsu. Standardize/Purity

cleaning. Such cleaning is part of
every one's work.)workplace)
• 5. Shitsuke.
Sustaining/discipline/commitment
(Maintain standards and keep the
facility in safe and efficient order day
after day, year after year.)
• A tree structure is an algorithm for
placing and locating files in an organized
database. The algorithm finds data by
repeatedly making choices at decision
points called nodes. A node can have as
few as two branches (also called children),
or as many as several dozen.
1. Create 5 folders in My Documents called:
• Inbox - Put unprocessed items that don’t have a place yet
in here.
• Action Items - Put items requiring an action that takes more
than 2 minutes in here.
• On Hold - Put items you aren’t yet ready to do or complete
in here.
• Current Projects - Put files related to active projects in here.
• Archive - Put completed projects, general reference items,
and anything else you might want to look at again in here
2. Now move all relevant files from your desktop
into these folders. If you have a large number of
files, you can move everything into the ―Inbox‖
folder and organize it later.
3. All that should be left on the desktop is
program icons.
