 Computer System
• A computer system is
a complete working
computer.
• It includes the
computer itself,
different peripherals
attached to it, and a
multiple number of
software installed.
 Peripheral
• A peripheral is any Printer Scanner

component or hardware Web Cam

that is attached to a
computer.
• This includes hardware
components like CD-
ROM drives, printers and
scanners. Keyboard
Mouse
 Software
• Software are coded
programs and instructions
that controls the overall
operations of a computer
or may also help in
increasing office
productivity.
• Examples are operating
systems and application
software.
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• Installation of any
computer system must only
be done by a skilled
computer technician.
• A non-certified technician
must NOT attempt to do so
to avoid any unwanted
incidents.
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• Determine the job requirement first.

• This is knowing the purpose of the computer
system to be installed.
• Example usage of a computer system can be in
accounting, engineering, graphic design or office
productivity.
NOT GOOD!!!
GOOD!!!
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• After determining the job requirement, the

technician must identify the correct specifications
of the computer system.
• This specifications will define the internal
components of a computer, the peripherals
needed, and the software to be installed.
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• The next step is putting everything together.

• Instructions regarding the installation of all
components and peripherals must be well observed
to avoid any damages to them.
• Common damages include short circuiting and
worse, electrocution.
• All peripherals must also be unplugged from the
power outlet before touching them.
Putting everything together.
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• Electronic components must be handled carefully.

• An anti-static strap must be worn at all times to
avoid static electricity from damaging any
components.
• All electronic components must also be kept in an
anti-static bag at all times.
• Personal protective equipment such as gloves and
goggles must also be worn.
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• In installing the software, the technician must

be sure that it is compatible with the
specifications of the computer.
• Incorrect versions will result in failure in
installation.
 In installing a computer system, the following
OHS policies and procedures may be
followed:

• Testing the computer system must only be done

once the technician has done all the necessary
actions to ensure that all components, peripherals
and software are properly installed.
• Once testing is complete, the computer system can
now be marked as operational or well-functioning.
Marked as operational or well-functioning.

Well-Functioning
Note:
• The above guidelines are just common
steps to ensure that proper OHS
policies and procedures are being
observed in a workplace.
• Specialized computer systems may
require a higher level of safety in
installation and possibly will demand
technicians with specific set of skills.
Let’s have the ACTIVITY!
• Applying OH&S Policies
• 1. Group yourselves into six members.
• 2. Within 3 minutes ,conduct a simulation
on: “Applying OHS Policies and
Procedures”.
• 3. The performance will be rated
according to the following:
 Performance Criteria:
• 15 - Have shown five OHS policies in different areas
• 12 - Have shown four OHS policies in different areas
• 9 - Have shown three OH&S policies in different areas
• 6 - Have shown two OH&S policies in different areas
• 3 - Have not shown any OH&S policies
