Operating System
An Operating System (OS) is that the program that, once being a initio loaded into the pc by
a boot program, manages all the opposite programs in a very pc. The opposite programs are
known as applications or application programs. The applying programs build use of the OS
by creating requests for services through an outlined computer programmer interface.
There are two types of computer operating systems,
 Server Operating system
 Client Operating system
Server operating system
A server operating system is known as server OS. This is designed to run on servers, which
area unit specialized computers that operate among a client/server design to serve the
requests of client computers on the network. This server operating system helps to enable and

TASK - 03
Safety and Health policies for conference/meeting halls are made to protect ourselves, and it
is very important to think about the computer health and safety in your office, because
technology will create lot of health issues. For that, users have to follow the Rules to avoid
disappointment.
Safety policies
For the Conference hall,

 To avoid electric shorts and electric leak, we need to cover all wires properly. And all main
plugs should be original ones, because sometimes it will have damaged if that duplicate then
it will affect to the machines.
 In the conference hall, there will be a heat because of machines’ fans. Therefore, it is better if
the conference hall has air condition facility. Then there will be no risk.
For the Users,

 Users should follow the rules. Such as,
(No foods at hall, private machines not allowed, etc...)
 Once you log on to something in the computer, make sure to log off that before you leave.
 Do not do any harm for the computer and computer parts.
 Shut down the computer, switches, light, fan and A/C properly after your works.
