PRECAUTION
 General Safety
• Risk assessment is important prior to any
operations in the computer workstation
• Five-Step Risk Assessment
1. Look for the hazards
2. Decide who might be harmed and how
3. Evaluate risks and decide whether existing
precautions are adequate or whether more
needs to be done
4. Record your findings
5. Review your risk assessment from time to
time and revise it
 Common Hazards in a Computer
Workstation
• Unsuitable work desks and chairs
• Substandard computer peripherals
• Limited work space
• Faulty electrical wirings
• Poor room ventilation
• Poor lightings
• Flooded rooms
 The Workstation
• Desks:
– big enough to allow the user to arrange the
screen, keyboard, documents, etc in a flexible
way
– have a matt surface
– big enough to let the user work comfortably &
change position
– be stable and positioned so that it's
comfortable and easy to use
• Chair:
– be stable and allow the user to work
comfortably
– be adjustable in height
– have a seat back adjustable in height and tilt
 Keyboard Legal Requirement
• Keyboards should:
– be tilt adjustable and separate from the
screen to allow the user to work
comfortably
– have enough space in front of them to allow
the user to rest their hands and arms when
not keying
• You should also ensure that users:
– adjust the keyboard to get a comfortable
position
– keep their wrists straight when keying
– use the keys lightly and not overstretch their
fingers
– take frequent breaks
 Pointing Device Legal Requirement
• Minimise risk by:
– Train user to use the mouse with relaxed arm
and a straight wrist
– informing the user that their fingers should rest
lightly on the buttons and not press too hard
– ensuring the device is suitable for the task
– training the user in keyboard shortcuts
– training the user to adjust the software
settings - these control the reaction time
between the mouse and the cursor on the
screen
 Desktop PC Assembly
• Build the internal parts first then connect
external parts of the desktop computer
• Never touch internal parts
• Do not attempt PC Assembly when hands are
wet or when on barefoot
• Double check connections of parts before
plugging to power source
• Inspect and clean computer parts regularly
Anti-static Wrist Wrap
 Internet Connectivity Safety Tips
• Internet security tackles these issues:
– Browsing the internet
– Electronic commerce
– Social networking
– Emailing
• Harmful and unwanted computer programs and
codes can be obtained via external sources like the
internet or removable storage devices
• Firewall, Internet Security, Antivirus and Anti-
spyware programs do the protection job well
however these things can charge certain amount of
cost.
• Update internet security and antivirus
programs with the latest protection modules
• Do not visit suspicious sites and pop-up
advertisements
• Most threats are targeted in hopes that you will
click on a harmful link, attachment, picture,
video or icon in an email or web page
• Do not open SPAM emails including those
emails coming from anonymous persons
• Do not reveal salient personal information such
as address, license numbers, bank
information, whereabouts and the like to chat
rooms and social media sites
• Protect your usernames and passwords and
never share such to anyone
• Log out your account after use
• Do not shop electronically to sites which are
untrusted and not secured
• Do not download pirated media content
• Do not meet a person whom you just know
virtually in the internet
 Types of Malware
• Virus - software that can replicate itself and
spread to other computers or that are
programmed to damage a computer by
deleting files, reformatting the hard disk, or
using up computer memory
• Adware - Software that is financially supported
(or financially supports another program) by
displaying ads when you're connected to the
internet
• Spyware - software that surreptitiously gathers
information and transmits it to interested parties.
Information gathered includes visited websites,
browser/system information, and your computer's
IP address
• Browser Hijacking Software - Advertising software
that modifies your browser settings, creates
desktop shortcuts, and displays intermittent
advertising pop-ups. Once a browser is hijacked,
the software may also redirect links to other sites
that advertise, or sites that collect web usage
information
 How Malware Gets Through
• Software that comes bundled with other
software is often called a "Trojan Horse"
• Peer-to-peer file sharing software bundles
various types of malware that are categorized
as spyware or adware
• Software that promises to speed up your
internet connection or assist with downloads
will often contain adware
• Another common way to infect a computer is
through email containing a seemingly benign
link or attachment
• Visiting malicious sites oftentimes cause
accidental or unintentional entry of computer
virus
