LESSON1 OHS and 5s Handout 2

WHAT IS OHS?
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a designed

framework where you work to avoid disease and injury
by understanding and defining hazards and threats. In
the information and technology sectors, health and
safety practices are the responsibility of all entities. The
dangers where you work must be identified and you
must determine how dangerous they are, eliminating the
danger, or altering the threat.
Three steps used to manage health and
safety work:
1.Spot the hazard (Hazard Identification)
A hazard is something you or anyone else might be harmed by.
Examples of workplace hazards include:

•Electric cords fractured (could result in electrical shock)
•Boxes were not securely stacked (they could fall on someone)
•Noisy machinery (could result in hearing damage)
2. Assess the risk (Risk Assessment)
What is a RISK ASSESSMENT?

Assessing the danger involves finding out how likable it is for someone
to be harmed by a threat and how severe the harm may be.
Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by asking yourself two
questions:
•How likely is it that I or anyone else could be harmed by the danger?
•How badly will I get harmed, or anyone else?
3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)
It's up to the employer to repair hazards. Often you can repair basic
hazards yourself, as long as you're not putting yourself or anyone at
risk. For instance, to avoid a trip hazard, you can pick items up from the
floor and put them away.
What to do?
•Before using tools, ask your boss for guidance and preparation.
•Ask for assistance pushing large items or removing them.
•If you think there could be a job procedure, tell your boss.

It is an entity, element, or condition that, with or
without interaction, may cause damage. They may
be listed as an occupational hazard or threat to the
environment. Cables running across the floor are
one of the most common physical dangers involving
computer technicians. Someone (you, your boss, or
your client) has a serious legal negligence issue if
someone slips, falls, and damages himself because
of a cable that you ran across the floor. Place a
danger sign like "wet floor” if you need to
temporarily run a cable across the board.

It is produced using machines, equipment or
machinery and plant, either driven or manually
(humanly). "Ask yourself," Is there any chance
this equipment might harm me while operating
on electronic equipment?. You could put your
hand in a printer and suddenly the paper feed arm
shifts, feeding not only paper through the printer,
but also a piece of your finger. When working on
electronic equipment always be alert to any
possibility of being hurt by moving objects.

A type of occupational hazard resulting from
workplace exposure to chemicals. Workplace
exposure to chemicals can cause acute or long-
term adverse effects on health. There is a broad
variety of chemicals that are used in electronic
devices. There are chemicals for monitor washing,
chemicals for keyboard washing, dirt and dust
removers for compressed gas, and many solvents for
cleaning. Some of these chemicals can be harmful if
accidentally swallowed, get on bare skin, or get in
the eyes.

There is a variety of voltages from 3.3
volts to 25 volts within computers and
electronic devices, most of which are
harmless. Yet you'll find a line voltage on
the power supply, which is a deadly 220
volts. You'll want them unplugged from
the wall socket most of the time when
running inside computers and electronic
equipment.
5S is a way of organizing the workplace
that uses a list of five Japanese words:
seiri, seiton, seisō, seiketsu, and shitsuke
These were translated as "Sort", "Set In
Order", "Shine", "Standardize" and
"Sustain."
SEIRI
( 整理 )
Seiri Sorting all objects in a
place and deleting all
unwanted items from the area.
Goals:
• Reduce the waste of time
searching for an object by
minimizing the number of
objects.
• Reduce the risk of needless
things distracting you.
SET IN ORDER
(SEITON 整頓 )
Seiton To perform its

purpose in the
workplace, it places all
the appropriate things in
the optimal position.
Goal:
• Make the workflow
smooth and easy.
SHINE
(SEISO 清掃 )
Seiso Sweeping or cleaning and

periodically inspecting the office,
equipment, and machines.
Goals:
• Improves the productivity and
reliability of the manufacturing
process, eliminates pollution,
removes mistakes and defects.
• Keep the place of employment
safe and convenient to
employment in.
STANDARDIZE
(SEIKETSU 清
潔)
Seiketsu The procedures
used to arrange, organize,
and clean the workspace
have to be prepared.
Goal:
• Establish protocols and
routines to guarantee that
the first three 'S 'processes
are replicated.
SUSTAIN/SELF-DISCIPLINE
(SHITSUKE しつけ )
Shitsuke By the self-

discipline of the workers or
maintaining the established
processes. It also means
"do without being told."
Goal:
• Ensure that the 5S
approach is followed.
