Occupational health and safety aims to protect workers' safety, health, and welfare. It involves preventing disease or injury resulting directly from the workplace. Effective troubleshooting requires safety to avoid injuries, equipment failures, and other issues. Technicians should wear appropriate clothing like cotton to avoid fires, use anti-static wrist straps to discharge static electricity, and take precautions like unplugging computers when working on them to avoid electrical hazards.

What is Occupational Health and Safety? Occupational health and safety is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The goal of all occupational health and safety programs is to foster a safe work environment. is another way of saying 'Health and Safety at Work'. It's about preventing disease or injury that is a direct result of your workplace. There is no such thing as effective troubleshooting if safety has not been met. The effectiveness of the troubleshooting comes only if there are no injuries, tool and equipment failure due to mishandling, peripheral malfunction due to misdiagnoses and mishandling and other things that marks the big 7-letter word - FAILURE. So what should you do to be able to do "Effective Troubleshooting" ? Follow the three most important things below to find out how and what to learn! #1 What you wear might save you! Yes you did not read it wrong. What you wear really matters specially if we are dealing with safety. In big companies, overall uniforms, laboratory gowns and technicians' gown are required to be worn in their work areas. As freelance technicians, we don't strictly follow company protocols but at least we must ensure safety through using proper clothing. #1 What you wear might save you!
What is appropriate for every computer technician to wear are
clothings that won't catch fire fast like cotton. Nylon clothes should be avoided. One must also wear clothes with shorter sleeves to keep the connectors and other things in the system unit from clinging to your clothing. Buttoned shirts and clothing with dangling laces or similar should not be worn during computer troubleshooting. #1 What you wear might save you! Please don't use very loose clothes like the hip hop crews wear, rings, necklaces, dangling earrings, bracelets, and similar objects as well. #2 Electro-Static Discharge is not your bestfriend ESD is a form of electricity that can wreck havoc to your computer peripherals or its components. How do you get ESD's? Just everywhere, upon walking when you rub your shoe against a carpet, or combing your hair or just anything you rub against or touch. To be able to avoid damaging your computer system unit, you must discharge the ESD by using the ESD Wrist Strap while working with your computer. #2 Electro-Static Discharge is not your bestfriend But what if you don't have any ESD Wrist Strap? Don't worry before opening up your unplugged computer system, touch any unpainted portions of the system unit for a few seconds. This can significantly dissipate the ESD that you have in your body. Also consider using Anti-Static Mat while working your your computer to ensure safety against Static Electricity. But again, grounding yourself to the computer's chassis is enough to drain off the ESD's. #2 Electro-Static Discharge is not your bestfriend Since ESD's can damage computer peripherals and components, it is best to store your removed components and peripherals in Anti- Static Bags. #3 Working Safely with Electricity In other words if you are working with your computer, turn off your system unit and unplug the power cord from the AVR. If you might say that the DC current of the motherboard is small and can not cause you harm, consider that the components of your computer are sensitive to electrical shortages. Keep these important tips in mind as you work inside your computer: Remember to Flip the Switch Unplug for Extra Safety
