Study Notes
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Standards
- OHS is a framework ensuring worker well-being, safety, and protection in various environments.
- OHS standards in Computer System Servicing (CSS) ensure individuals are adequately protected from potential hazards.
- Standards cover personal protective equipment (PPE), safety protocols, and hazard-free work areas.
Essential Protective Equipment
- Gloves: Protect hands from cuts, abrasions, and chemical burns.
- Types include nitrile, latex (flexible and sensitive), and leather (protection from mechanical hazards).
- Eye Protection: Safeguards eyes from debris, splashes, and radiation.
- Types include safety goggles (full eye coverage), and face shields (extended face and eye protection).
- Hearing Protection: Prevents hearing damage from loud noise.
- Types include earplugs (inserted into the ear canal), and earmuffs (covering the entire ear).
- Anti-static Equipment: Prevents electrostatic discharge (ESD), protecting sensitive electronic components.
- Types include anti-static wrist straps, anti-static mats, and grounding devices.
Applications in Computer System Servicing (CSS)
- CSS tasks expose workers to electrical, physical, and chemical hazards.
- Key practices include ensuring proper grounding during hardware handling.
Core Principles of OHS Standards
- Risk Assessment: Identifying and evaluating potential workplace hazards and implementing measures to mitigate risks.
- Safety Training: Educating workers on proper PPE use and safety protocols.
- Workplace Maintenance: Maintaining a clean, organized environment free of hazards.
- Emergency Preparedness: Establishing procedures for emergencies, like fire, medical, and other crises.
- Legal Compliance: Adhering to governmental OHS regulations and standards, properly documenting activities.
Computer Architecture and Function
- CPU (Central Processing Unit): The "brain" of the computer, interpreting and executing instructions, acting as the main control unit.
- ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit): Performs arithmetic and logical operations.
- Registers: Temporary, high-speed storage holding data during processing.
- Cache: High-speed memory storing frequently accessed data for reduced latency.
- Clock: Synchronizes CPU operations, defining the number of cycles the CPU performs per second.
- Buses: Electrical pathways for data transmission between CPU components.
RAM (Random Access Memory)
- Provides temporary storage for operating systems, software, and data in use.
- Ensures quick access for the processor, enhancing system performance.
- Key features include clock speed, and frequency.
- Types include FPM, EDO, and SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
Motherboard Components
- CPU Socket: Holds the CPU in place.
- Chipsets: Manage communication between CPU and other motherboard components (split into Northbridge and Southbridge).
- Memory Slots (DIMM): Hold RAM modules.
