Working Safely
When working with computers, part of the expanded "toolkit kit" is providing a safe
working environment for both humans and the hardware. Computers and their peripheral
devices are electronic equipment, so most safety issues relate to electrical power.
However, when you work on this equipment, there are several other concerns to take into
consideration, as listed in the following table.
Problem Prevention
Some equipment, such as printers, monitors, and even the
computer itself, can weigh several pounds (10–20 pounds or
more for newer, larger monitors). This might not seem like
much; however, improperly picking up (or dropping) the
Back
equipment can result in back or other injuries. Be especially
injuries
careful when removing a component from its original
packaging. These components are generally packaged very
tightly to provide protection during transport and can be difficult
to remove.
Be very careful when removing covers from computer
components. The frames of the cases are often made of thin
Cuts metal with sharp edges. Also, poorly cut or stamped parts might
still have metal burrs, which are very sharp. Devices such as
scanners and monitors have glass components that can break.
Tripping Computers tend to have many cables and wires. If not properly

5 00 311108

installed, these wires and cables can constitute a serious
tripping hazard. Use cable ties to bundle up cables and reduce
the "spaghetti" effect. Also avoid running cables under carpets
and areas where people walk.
When installing or working on any equipment, make sure that the work done
conforms to all applicable local and national safety codes, such as Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and National Electric Code (NEC)
standards. Many companies have their own internal safety departments and
safety manuals. Be sure that you are familiar with them as well.
Power and Safety
Power is the primary safety hazard encountered when servicing a computer. Be

familiar with the following guidelines when working with electrical devices and
components.

INFORMATION SHEET
ESD
The primary electrical-power concern when working with computers is ESD. The
Basics of Electrical Energy." Remember that ESD can destroy sensitive
computer parts even when the discharge is imperceptible and harmless to
humans. If proper ESD tools are not available, touching the case (specifically, the
power supply) while working on the computer or its components provides some
protection. However, this only works if the power supply is plugged into a
properly grounded electrical outlet.
Grounds
When used to refer to electronic equipment, the term ground can be confusing.
Generally speaking, a ground is any point from which electrical measurements
can be made. In most cases, a ground means earth ground. With early electrical
systems, the earth was used as a path for electrical current to return to its
source. This is why telegraphs required only one wire (the earth ground serves
as the other conductor). In most instances, the frame of the computer is at
ground potential or earth ground, as long as the power cord is installed and
connected to a properly grounded system. Some electronic equipment uses a
special path or conductor for its ground. This is known as signal ground and is
not the same as earth ground.
Electronic equipment is both susceptible to and a source of electromagnetic

interference (EMI). A properly grounded computer prevents the transmission of
EMI and protects itself from other sources of EMI. Unchecked, EMI distorts
images on a video display and can corrupt communications equipment and data
on floppy disks.
High Voltages
For the most part, a computer uses ±5 and ±12 volts DC. However, two devices
use much higher voltages: power supplies and monitors. With these two
exceptions, there are generally no electrical hazards inside a computer.
Power Supplies
The power supply uses 220 volts AC. This voltage is found inside the power
supply case. In most cases, there is no need to open the power supply case and
work on the power supply. The cost of a new power supply is low enough that it

5 00 311108

is generally easier to replace than repair. However, should you decide to open
the case, be careful. Remember, the power switch on most computers (usually
located on the front of the computer) also uses 110 volts AC to turn the power
supply on or off. If you are working on a computer and leave it plugged in to
provide proper grounding, this could present a hazard.
Monitors
Monitors use very high voltages (30,000 volts) to drive the CRT (cathode-ray
tube). Remember that monitors are dangerous even when unplugged. They can
store this high voltage and discharge it if you touch the wrong parts. Working
inside the monitor case should be left to a properly trained technician with the
necessary tools.

INFORMATION SHEET
Power Safety Guidelines
The following are some general guidelines to observe when working around
computers:
 Never wear jewelry or other metal objects when working on a computer.

These items pose an electrical threat that can cause short circuits, which
can destroy components.
 To avoid spills, never use liquids around electrical equipment.
 Do not defeat the safety feature of the three-prong power plugs by using
two-prong adapters.
 Replace any worn or damaged power cords immediately.
 Never allow anything to rest on a power cord.
 Avoid using extension cords. These can become tripping hazards. Also,
they may not be rated to carry the current requirements of the system.
 Keep all electrical covers intact.
 Make sure all vents are clear and have ample free-air space to allow heat
to escape.
 Some peripheral devices such as laser printers and scanners use high
voltages. Before removing any covers or working on any of these devices,
be sure to read the manufacturers' manuals carefully.
Fire
Uncontrolled fire is not pleasant to think about, but it is a fact of life. A workplace
fire can be disastrous in terms of both injury to people and lost equipment.
Knowing what to do in the event of a fire can save valuable equipment and, most
important, lives. Here are a few tips to help prevent fire and protect yourself:
 Fire is fast, dark, and deadly. If a fire is detected, and it cannot be

controlled with local resources within 30 seconds, exit at once. Do not
delay at the scene; call the fire department from another location—one
that is safe.
 Always know the emergency procedures to be carried out in case of fire at
your workplace.
 Know the location of the nearest fire exits.
 Know the location of the nearest fire extinguishers and how to use them.
 Don't overload electrical outlets.
Code No.
5 00 311108

Simply knowing the location of a fire extinguisher is of no value unless you know
how to use it. If you don't, contact your safety department or local fire
department. They will be glad to help you get the training you need. Also,
remember that using the wrong type of fire extinguisher can be worse than not
using one at all.
There are three basic types of fire extinguishers for nonprofessional use, as
shown in Figure.1.
Figure 1 Fire extinguisher types
Environmental Issues
Many computers and peripheral devices (especially printers) use consumable or

recyclable components. To help keep our environment safe, you should be
aware of these items and use them properly.
Examples of recyclable items or items that require special disposal are
 Batteries
 Toner and cartridge kits
 Circuit boards
 Chemical solvents
 Monitors (CRTs)
Be sure to follow the manufacturers' recommendations for recycling or disposal

of any of these items. Some items, such as toner cartridges, even have prepaid
shipping labels so that they can be returned for proper disposal.
When purchasing or using any kind of chemicals (cleaners, for example) that you
are not familiar with the proper use and disposal of, be sure to check the material
safety data sheet (MSDS). This form that describes the nature of any chemicals
manufactured. It includes generic information about the product's chemical
makeup and any recognized hazards (including what to do and who to call if
there is a problem). These forms are required by law, so ask to see them.
Chemical suppliers must provide the purchaser with the MSDS for products, if

requested. Also consider purchasing sprays with a manual pump dispenser or
compressed air rather than chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or other propellants that
can be harmful to the environment.
Electrostatic Discharge
This lesson discusses a phenomenon that can damage or ruin sensitive

electronic equipment—electrostatic discharge (ESD), sometimes referred to as
static electricity. Fortunately, it is one of the easiest things to protect against.
Causes of ESD
The human body has an electric field and, under the right (and very easy to
obtain) conditions, can generate a tremendous amount of voltage, often referred
to as static electricity.
ESD occurs when an imbalance in the amounts of positive and negative

electrical charges on the surface of an object is released. The most dramatic
example of ESD is lightning, which splits trees as easily as it lights up the sky.
The amount of energy released when you touch a metal object can be quite
large. The buildup of energy with nylon clothes can easily reach 21,000 volts.
About 750 volts are required to produce a visible spark with ESD, and a mere 10
volts or so can ruin a computer chip.
The actual amount of energy in a given ESD event depends on the types of
materials involved (wool fabrics generate less than nylon), the humidity (low
humidity offers less resistance to the discharge), the amount of physical energy
(friction) involved, and how quickly the energy is released.
NOTE
ESD does not have to be seen (as a spark) to do damage to electronic

components. Voltages lower than 10 volts can damage some parts.
ESD Damage
Over the years, engineers have produced smaller and smaller components,
which operate at lower and lower voltages. Their goal is to reduce size, cost, and
operational heat production. Those are worthy goals but, because of reduced
component size, they present a smaller target with less resistance to power
surges. This makes the parts more susceptible to damage from ESD.
Code No.
5 00 311108
15
The amount of damage and resulting problems caused by ESD can be divided
into three categories:
 Catastrophic failure. This is sometimes referred to as "frying" or

"smoking" a part because of the heat (and sometimes the noise and
smoke) generated during the failure. Mishandling and misapplication of a
power source, cable, or test instrument are the most likely causes. Care in
opening, installing, cabling, and testing are the best ways to prevent this
type of ESD damage.
 Upset failure. An ESD can produce an erratic fault in a component. This
kind of problem is very difficult to detect and repair because the failure is
intermittent. It is easy to blame the operating system or a program
operation for the data loss or system crash. The best way to diagnose and
correct this type of problem is to remove and replace suspected parts until
the failure stops appearing.
 Latent failure. This type of failure weakens the actual transistor. The
affected part will seem normal in most operations and will frequently pass
quality control and conformance tests. Like upset failures, these can be
very difficult to isolate.
Preventing ESD
Prevention is the best defense against ESD, and the first step in prevention is to
understand the source. The leading cause of ESD damage is improper handling
of electronic devices. A semiconductor device can be damaged by ESD during
handling before it is installed.
The key to ESD prevention is to keep all electronic components—and yourself—

at a common electrical potential. This usually means ground potential, or zero
volts. Maintain a habit of "grounding" yourself to the computer chassis whenever
you attempt a repair. There are times when it is not practical, or convenient, to
wear a ground strap. At such times, touching part of the metal chassis before
removing devices will bring you and the computer chassis to a common voltage.
Don't move around while installing or handling a part; doing so can generate
additional voltages, negating any effort you have made to eliminate ESD.
All repair shops and workbenches should have proper ESD suppression devices,
and technicians should use them whenever working with exposed parts. These
devices include:
 Antistatic mats. Nonconducting pads placed on the work surface and on

the floor in front of the work area.
Code No.
5 00 311108
16
 Antistatic wristband. A wristband with a grounding strap connected to
the chassis of the PC.
 Antistatic pouches. A sealed, antistatic pouch used to store any
sensitive electronic device, including hard disk drives, when they are not
installed in a computer.
 Antistatic pad. An insulating foam pad in which individual chips with
exposed pins should be embedded when they are not installed in a
computer.
Code No.
5 00 311108
17
CAUTION
AC voltage can kill. Although the power used by the computer components is no
more than 12 volts DC, many computers have 110 VAC wired from the power
supply to the on–off switch at the front of the computer case. This wiring can
present a hazard. Never disconnect or remove boards from a computer with the
power applied. This can damage the components.
CAUTION
Safety precautions are different for computer monitors. Never work on a monitor
with the cabinet removed, power applied, and a wrist strap on; a wrist strap
coming in contact with the high-voltage wire (30,000 volts) can cause
electrocution.
Safety and Electrical Power
Computers are electronic equipment and therefore consume electricity. Although

most components in a computer operate on low voltages—in the safe range
between 3.3 and 12 volts DC—the main power source and the monitor use high
voltages. This lesson sets out some basic high-voltage electrical safety
guidelines.
Electrical Safety Is Your Responsibility
Standard wall outlets in the United States provide a nominal 120 VAC and are
rated to deliver currents between 15 and 20 amps. Under certain conditions, it is
possible to receive a lethal shock from much lower voltages than these. Inside a
computer, and especially inside the monitor, voltages as high as 30,000 volts can
exist even after the power is turned off.
It is vital to follow basic electrical safety guidelines when servicing a computer.

There is no substitute for common sense. However, here are a few tips:
 When in doubt about the correct way to safely service a part of a

computer, don't do it. Have an experienced professional do the necessary
work.
 Always use grounded outlets and power cords.
 Switch the power off and disconnect all equipment from its power source
before removing any covers.
 Always replace blown fuses with fuses of the correct rating and type.
 Do not work alone—you might need help in an emergency.
Code No.
5 00 311108
18
 Remove all jewelry and any wristwatch. These are conductors that can
cause short circuits.
 Have trained personnel service computer power supplies and monitors;
these devices use and store potentially lethal voltages (often for days or
longer).
 Work with one hand. Using two hands can cause a direct circuit, via your
heart, from one object to another.
In the United States, common AC wiring uses the color coding given in the following
table.
Connection Color
Live or hot Black
Neutral White
Ground Green or bare copper
CAUTION
Color codes for AC wires and DC wires can be different. For example, the
ground wires on the P8 and P9 connector for an AT-style motherboard are black.

Fire Safety Procedures
Corridors
State fire regulations require that all paths of exit, including corridors and
stairwells, be kept free of obstructions. Bicycles, boots, shoes, boxes, trash,
suitcases, clothes, beds, and furniture should never be left in corridors or
stairwells. Any item left in the corridors or stairwells will be confiscated and may
be thrown away. Any item with a gasoline engine is prohibited in residential
buildings.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers should be used for their intended purpose only and should not
be removed from their assigned location. Extinguishers should be used only after
the alarm has been pulled and the fire department has been notified. Only then
should you try to control a small fire, if you can do so safely. Report fires of any
size by dialing 1-911.
Fire Doors
Keep fire and smoke doors closed. These doors prevent the spread of smoke
and fire, saving lives and minimizing damage to the building and personal
property.
Actual or Suspected Fire

If you discover or suspect a fire: pull the building fire alarm to alert people in the
hall; dial local fire station to give the exact location of the fire; close the door to
the room containing the fire to prevent its spread, if you can do so safely; and
use the fire extinguisher, if you can do so safely, but only after taking the above
steps.
Evacuation Procedures
Put on a warm coat and shoes and take a towel to cover your nose and mouth in
case of smoke. Close windows. Leave shades up (as an aid to the fire
department). Leave only the ceiling light on and the door open so the fire officials
can check quickly that everyone has evacuated. Escape via exits and stairwells.
Do not use an elevator. Before passing through any doors, feel the metal door
knob. If it is hot, do not open the door; find an alternate exit. If you can open the
door (if it is not hot, brace yourself against it and open it slowly to make sure
there is no heat nor heavy smoke on the other side. If there is, close it again. If
there is any smoke in the air, stay low near the floor and crawl toward the exit.
Alert others as you leave. Yell, "Fire!" Knock on doors. Go quickly and quietly

outside and answer roll call. After evacuating the building, stand clear of it. Allow
fire-fighting equipment to maneuver. Follow the directions of the hall safety
representative, public safety, and the fire department. Do not attempt to go back
into the building until after the commanding officer from the fire department gives
clearance.
Code No.
5 00 311108
22
What To Do If You Are Trapped By Fire
If all exits are blocked, go back to your room. Keep your door closed. Pack the
space under the door with towels or other materials to keep smoke out. Open the
windows from the top, if possible, to let fresh air in. Let people know you are
trapped. Wave a towel or pillowcase out the window, yell, or if possible, call the
fire department or Public Safety at 1-911. Stay low, on the floor, near the window.
What To Do If Someone is On Fire

Don't panic. Serious injury can be avoided if the flames are extinguished quickly.
Prevent the person from running, which fans the flames and takes the person
farther from help. Get the person on the ground and roll her or him over and over
to smother the flames. Use a blanket if one is available.
Fire Drills
Fire drills are conducted by hall safety representatives in conjunction with the
Department of Public Safety. Drills are held in each residence hall to familiarize
the building occupants with the sound or sight of the fire alarm, the emergency
exits, and the procedures for safe evacuation. These exercises are conducted at
least five times a year in every residence hall. Drills are an important, serious
exercise. Refusal to exit the hall during a drill will result in College disciplinary
action.

ANSWERS KEY
1. Describe ESD and how to prevent it.
Just as high voltages generated by electrical and electronic equipment

can do severe damage to humans, high voltages generated by humans
can do damage to computers. We have all seen what a short circuit can
do to electrical equipment (smoke, fire, and destruction). Electrostatic
discharge (ESD) is an unseen (and sometimes unheard) force, created by
humans, that is just as deadly to a computer.
The key to ESD prevention is to keep all electronic components and

yourself at the same electrical potential. This usually means ground
potential or zero volts. Maintain a habit of "grounding" yourself to the
computer chassis whenever you attempt a repair. An ESD wrist strap is
the tool most commonly used by technicians to prevent ESD.
2. What is a latent failure? What makes it especially troublesome?
This type of ESD problem occurs when a transistor junction becomes

weakened. A transistor in this condition may pass all quality tests but, over
time, will generate poorer system performance and eventually fail
completely.
3. What is a catastrophic failure?
Catastrophic failure is the destruction of a part because of the heat

generated during the mishandling and misapplication of a power source,
cable, or test instrument.
4. When working with a computer, when is it acceptable to use an AC power

supply that is not grounded?
It is never acceptable to use an AC power supply that is not grounded.
