The possibility that bad or unpleasant (such as
injury or loss)will happen.

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.

Three steps 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)

1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification)During working hours, you must remain alert to anything that may be dangerous. If you see, hear or smell anything odd, take note. If you think it could be a hazard, tell someone. Example:
frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock) boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone) noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing)

2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment)Working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how serious the harm could be.
How likely is it that the hazard could harm me or someone else?
How badly could I or someone else be harmed?

3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)It is your employer's responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able to fix simple hazards yourself, as long as you don't put yourself or others at risk. Example: You can pick up things from the floor and put
them away to eliminate a trip hazard.

Common Hazards Encountered by Computer Technicians and Users
1. Physical HazardsConditions or situations that can cause the body physical harm or intense stress. Physical hazards can be both natural or man made elements.

2. Mechanical HazardsA hazard that cause by mechanical elements. "Is there any way this equipment could hurt me?”
Example: Equipment, Tools, Computer components etc.

4. Electric Shock HazardsInside computers, there is a range of voltages from 3.3 volts to 25 volts, most of which are harmless. But at the power supply, you will find line voltage, which is a lethal 220 volts.
