Learning Objectives:
1. Hazard Identification (Spot the Hazard) - part of the process used to evaluate if any particular situation, item,
thing, etc. may have the potential to cause harm. The term often used to describe the full process is risk
assessment: Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm.
Example:
2. Risk Assessment - a process used to identify potential hazards and analyze what could happen if a disaster or
hazard occurs.
Example:
3. Risk Control - is a plan-based business strategy that aims to identify, assess, and prepare for any dangers,
hazards, and other potentials for disaster—both physical and figurative—that may interfere with an organization's
operations and objectives.
COMMON HAZARDS ENCOUNTERED BY COMPUTER TECHNICIANS AND USERS
A Hazard is a condition in any working environment that can possibly harm or hurt the health and safety of people or
cause damage to an area and equipment.
Physical hazards
is an agent, factor or circumstance that can cause harm with contact. They can be classified as type of
occupational hazard or environmental hazard. Physical hazards include ergonomic hazards, radiation, heat and
cold stress, vibration hazards, and noise hazards.
Mechanical hazards
factors include just about anything inorganic that moves or can injure you. These include many tools,
machines and (moving) vehicles, but also, for example, black ice and even high steps or stairs, if they are not
secured against falling.
Chemical hazards
It refers to any forms of chemicals including medications, solutions, gases, vapors, aerosols, and
particulate matter that are potentially toxic or irritating to the body system.
5S is a five-step methodology that, when followed, creates a more organized and productive workspace. In
English, the 5S's are: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. 5S serves as a foundation for deploying more
advanced lean production tools and processes. It was developed in japan.
5S Methodology
Sort (Seiri)
The first step in the 5S methodology is to sort. This step involves identifying the necessary items in your workspace and
eliminating any excess or unnecessary items. This helps to reduce clutter, minimize distractions, and streamline the
workspace.
The second step is to set it in order. This step involves organizing the necessary items logically and systematically. This
includes assigning a specific location for each item and labeling them for easy identification. This helps to reduce search
time and eliminate the need for excess inventory.
Shine (Seiso)
The third step in the 5S methodology is to shine. This step involves cleaning and maintaining the workspace. This includes
regular cleaning, inspection, and maintenance to ensure everything is in working order and defects-free.
Standardize (Seikutsu)
The fourth step in the 5S methodology is to standardize. This step involves creating a set of guidelines and procedures for
maintaining the workspace. This includes documenting the previous three steps and establishing a regular schedule for
their implementation.
Sustain (Shitsuke)
The final step in the 5S methodology is to sustain. This step involves creating a culture of continuous improvement, where
the previous four steps are consistently followed, and the workspace is continually optimized.
Benefits of 5S Methodology
The 5S methodology provides numerous benefits to organizations that adopt it. Some of the benefits include:
1. Improved productivity
2. Reduced waste
3. Enhanced safety
4. Increased employee satisfaction
5. Improved customer satisfaction
6. Improved quality
7. Reduced costs
