SAFETY
POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES
z
 An Information and communication
technology (ICT) student should know how
to behave when working in the computer
laboratory, as well as implement a safe
way of accomplishing every task. Safety
practices should be learned early and
always adheres in working with any
electrical and electronic device, including
personal computers and its peripherals.
This is for your protection as well as to the
people working with you
z
 and for the devices that you are using. The

basis for this process begins with
Occupational Health and Safety Policies.
z  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. Health and safety procedure is the
responsibility of all persons in the
computer and technology industries. 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.
z
Occupational Health and Safety
standards
 Each student has a responsibility to their
colleagues and their organization to report
and act upon any potential workplace
hazard. Students need to be aware of the
type of hazards that are possibly present in
their work environment.
z
Procedure
1. Identify the hazard

2. Clear the area close to the hazard
3. Partition the hazard off or clearly identify
the area to protect other people from harm
4. If the hazard is easily and safely cleared,
then do so
z
If not…
5. Report the hazard to the appropriate
person (such as teacher in charge, principal
etc.) to obtain assistance
6. Following clearing of the hazard fill out the
correct documentation to assist in identifying
improved practice to reduce further
incidence of hazards.
z
 All hazards must be reported using

Accidental Report form. This enables us to
track the kinds of hazards we have in our
workplace, and take action where
necessary to make it safer for all student
and clients
z
Accident reports
 Forms are used to give specific details with

regards to the accidents happened in the
laboratory during experiments.
z
Accident reports contain the
following details:
 Name of the person injured
 Date and time of the accident
 Type of injury
 First aid given
 Action taken to prevent further accident
z
z Hazardous
Substances
z
If the workplace hazard appears to be
dangerous to staff and clients and
professional assistance is required:
A. Call the supervisor or manager and advise

them of the problem and the urgency of
the matter.
B. Depending on the risk it may be called as
an evacuation.
z
If the workplace hazard appears to be
dangerous to staff and clients and
professional assistance is required:
C. Follow the evacuation procedure.
D. The supervisor or manager will call in the

fire brigade or specialized personnel who
will deal with the spill.
z
Fire exits
 All fire exits should be kept clear of from

obstacles. All students have a
responsibility to make sure that chairs,
empty boxes or any other type of obstacle
are not placed in or near fire exit
doorways.
z
Fire Safety Procedure
 Each work area has a designated fire

warden, who in the event of a fire will take
charge. They are recognized by the
wearing of a red hard hat.

Personal Safety While Working
with PC’s
 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 with PC’s.
The following are some precautionary
measures to take before working with any
computer equipment:
z
Wear shoes with non-conductive rubber

soles to help reduce the chance of being
shocked or seriously injured in an electrical
accident.
Do not work on components that are
plugged into their power source.
z
Do not remove expansion cards from a

computer when it is turned on.
Remove jewelries when working inside
any computer related equipment.
Be sure not to mix electronic components
and water.
z
Applying OH&S Policies
1. Group yourselves into six members.

2. Conduct a simulation on: “Applying OHS
Policies and Procedures”.
3. The performance will be rated according
to the following:
