What Do You Need to Know?
Read information Sheet 1.1 very well then find out how much you can
remember and how much you learned by doing Self-check 1.1
Information Sheet 1.1
Occupational health and safety (OHS) relates to health, safety, and
welfare issues in the workplace. OHS includes the laws, standards, and
programs that are aimed at making the workplace better for workers, along
with co-workers, family members, customers, and other stakeholders. It
improves a company's occupational health and safety standard that ensures
good business, a better brand image, and higher employee morale.
Occupational health and safety standards are in place to mandate the
removal, reduction, or replacement of job site hazards. OHS programs should
also include material that helps minimize the effects of the different type of
hazards in a workplace. Identifying hazards in a workplace and deciding how
dangerous they are will help to eliminate hazards and modify the risks that are
present. Furthermore, Our government has rules and regulations
implementing Executive Order No.307 which states that Occupational Safety
and Health (OSH) is defined as the a) promotion and maintenance of the
highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all
occupations; b) prevention among its workers of any departures from health
caused by their working conditions; c) protection among workers in their
employment from risks usually from factors adverse to health and d) placing
and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment adapted to
his/her physiological ability.

General Safety Guidelines
Follow the basic safety guidelines to prevent cuts, burns, electrical
shock, and damage to eyesight. As a best practice, make sure that a fire
extinguisher and first aid kit are available in case of fire or injury. Here are
some general safety guidelines:
 Remove your watch or any other jewelry and secure loose clothing.
 Turn off the power and unplug equipment before opening the case and
performing service.
 Cover any sharp edges inside the computer case with tape.
 Never open a power supply or a monitor.
 Do not touch areas in printers that are hot or those which use high
voltage.
 Know where the fire extinguisher is located and learn how to use it.
 Know where the first aid kit is located.
 Keep food and drinks out of your workspace.
 Keep your workspace clean and free of clutter.
 Lift heavy objects with sturdy leg support to avoid back injury.
12 OHS Procedures
In a workplace, each student has a responsibility to their classmates or
workgroups to report and act upon any potential hazards. Students need to be
aware the procedures needed in the present work environment such as:
1. Do not work alone so that there's someone who can take care of you in
case of emergency.
2. Always power off the computer and unplug the computer before
working on it.
3. Take away any liquid near your working area to avoid getting
electrocuted or accidentally damaging computer parts.
4. Be careful with tools that may cause short circuit.
5. Always ground or discharge yourself before touching any part of the
computer.
6. Do not use excessive force if things don't quite slip into place.
7. Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and
prevent accidents.
8. Hold the components on the edges and do not touch the Integrated
Circuit (IC) parts.
9. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with
the organization's OHS procedures and practices.
10. Make sure that the pins are properly aligned when connecting a cable
connector.
11. Contingency measures during workplace accidents, fire and other
emergencies are recognized.
12. Use brush, compressed air or blower in cleaning the computer system.
Computer Safety

Computer security allows you to use the computer while keeping
it safe from threats. Computer security can be defined as controls that are put
in place to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability for all components
of computer systems. It keeps your information protected. Oftentimes, people
confound computer security with other related terms like information security
and cybersecurity. For example:
 Information security is securing information from unauthorized access,
modification & deletion
 Computer Security means securing a standalone machine by keeping it
updated and patched
 Cybersecurity is defined as protecting computer systems, which
communicate over the computer networks
Why is cybersecurity important?
Listed below are the reasons why cybersecurity is so important
in what’s become a predominant digital world:
 Cyber attacks can be extremely expensive for businesses to endure. In
addition to financial damage suffered by the business, a data breach
can also inflict untold reputational damage.
 Cyber-attacks these days are becoming progressively destructive.
Cybercriminals are using more sophisticated ways to initiate cyber
attacks.
 Regulations such as GDPR are forcing organizations into taking better
care of the personal data they hold.
 Security incidents regularly affect businesses of all sizes and often
make the front page causing irreversible reputational damage to the
companies involved
Computer Security Practices
Computer security threats are becoming relentlessly inventive these
days. There is much need for one to arm oneself with information and
resources to safeguard against these complex and growing computer security
threats and stay safe online. Some preventive steps you can take include:
1. Secure your computer physically by:
o Installing reliable, reputable security and anti-virus software
o Activating your firewall, because a firewall acts as a security
guard between the internet and your local area network
2. Stay up-to-date on the latest software and news surrounding your
devices and perform software updates as soon as they become
available
3. Avoid clicking on email attachments unless you know the source
4. Change passwords regularly, using a unique combination of numbers,
letters and case types
5. Use the internet with caution and ignore pop-ups, drive-by downloads
while surfing

6. Taking the time to research the basic aspects of computer security
and educate yourself on evolving cyber-threats
7. Perform daily full system scans and create a periodic system backup
schedule to ensure your data is retrievable should something happen
to your computer.
Virus protection software, known as antivirus software, is software
designed to detect, disable, and remove viruses, worms, and Trojans before
they infect a computer.
Data Encryption
Encrypting data involves using codes and ciphers. Data encryption
can help prevent attackers from monitoring or recording traffic between
resources and computers. It may not be possible to decipher captured data in
time to make any use of it. A security alert may inform you that you are using
an encrypted connection.
Port Protection
Every communication using TCP/IP is associated with a port number.
HTTPS, for instance, by default uses port 443. A firewall is a way of
protecting a computer from intrusion through the ports.
With port protection, the user can control the type of data sent to a
computer by selecting which ports will be open and which will be secured.
Data being transported on a network is called traffic.
How to Enable Firewall for Windows 7
1. Open Windows Firewall by clicking the
Start button , and then clicking
Control Panel. In the search box, type
firewall, and then click Windows
Firewall.

2. In the left pane, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off. If you're
prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the
password or provide confirmation. Turn Windows Firewall on or off link
in Windows Firewall.
3. Click Turn on Windows Firewall under each network location that you
want to help protect, and then click OK.
If you want the firewall to prevent all programs from communicating,
including programs that you have previously allowed to communicate through
the firewall, select the Block all incoming connections, including those in
the list of allowed programs check box.
Computer security threats
Computer security threats are possible dangers that can possibly
hamper the normal functioning of your computer. In the present age, cyber
threats are constantly increasing as the world is going digital. The most
harmful types of computer security are:
Viruses
A computer virus is a malicious
program which is loaded into the user’s
computer without user’s knowledge. It
replicates itself and infects the files and
programs on the user’s PC. The ultimate
goal of a virus is to ensure that the victim’s
computer will never be able to operate
properly or even at all.
Computer Worm
A computer worm is a software
program that can copy itself from one
computer to another, without human
interaction. The potential risk here is that it
will use up your computer hard disk space
because a worm can replicate in great
volume and with great speed.

Phishing
Pronounced like fishing, phishing is a
term used to describe a malicious individual or
group of individuals who scam users. They do
so by sending e-mails or creating web
pages that are designed to collect an
individual's online bank, credit card, or other
login information.
Botnet
A botnet is a group of computers
connected to the internet that have been
compromised by a hacker using a computer
virus. An individual computer is called ‘zombie
computer’. The result of this threat is the
victim’s computer, which is the bot will be used
for malicious activities and for a larger scale
attack like DDoS.
Rootkit
A rootkit is a computer program
designed to provide continued privileged
access to a computer while actively hiding
its presence. Once a rootkit has been
installed, the controller of the rootkit will be
able to remotely execute files and change
system configurations on the host machine.
Keylogger
Also known as a keystroke logger,
keyloggers can track the real-time activity
of a user on his computer. It keeps a record
of all the keystrokes made by user
keyboard. Keylogger is also a very powerful
threat to steal people’s login credential
such as username and password.

Pharming
Pharming is a scamming practice in
which malicious code is installed on a
personal computer or server, misdirecting
users to fraudulent Web sites without their
knowledge or consent.
Email spoofing
It is a deceitful email practice in which
the sender address is changed, so that it
would appear to have come from a different
source usually someone you know. It is
also known as fraudulent email activity
hiding email origins.

What is a hazard?
A hazard is any agent that can cause harm or damage to humans,
property, or the environment .It is commonly define also as “A hazard is any
source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or
someone”. Other government entities state that "Occupational health and
safety defines - Hazard identification and elimination and risk assessment
and control" uses the following terms:
 Harm – physical injury or damage to health.
 Hazard – a potential source of harm to a worker.
Risk is defined as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead to a
negative consequence, or more simply, a hazard poses no risk if there is no
exposure to that hazard.

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control
Hazard identification is 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
(hazard identification).
 Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard (risk
analysis, and risk evaluation).
 Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk
when the hazard cannot be eliminated (risk control).
Overall, the goal of hazard identification is to find and record possible
hazards that may be present in your workplace. It may help to work as a team
and include both people familiar with the work area, as well as people who are
not – this way you have both the experienced and fresh eye to conduct the
inspection. At work you can use these three Think Safe steps to help prevent
accidents such as:
1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard
Identification)
Key Point - A hazard is anything
that could hurt you or someone else.
Examples of workplace hazards
include:
frayed electrical cords (could result in
electrical shock)
boxes stacked precariously (they could
fall on someone)
noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing)
During work experience, you must remain alert to anything that may be
dangerous. If you see, hear or smell anything odd, take note. If you think it
could be a hazard, tell someone.
2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment)
Key Point
Assessing the risk means working out how
likely it is that a hazard will harm someone
and how serious the harm could be.
Whenever you spot a hazard, assess the risk by
asking yourself two questions:
 How likely is it that the hazard could harm
me or someone else?
 How badly could I or someone else be
harmed?
Always tell someone (your employer, your
supervisor or your health and safety (representative) about hazards you can't
fix yourself, especially if the hazard could cause serious harm to anyone.
For example:
 Ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using
equipment.

 Ask for help moving or lifting heavy objects.
 Tell your supervisor if you think a work practice could be dangerous.
If you are not sure of the safest way to do something during work experience,
always ask your work experience supervisor.
3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)
Key Point
It is your employer's responsibility to fix hazards. Sometimes you may be able
to fix simple hazards yourself, as long as you don't put yourself or others at risk. For
example, you can pick up things from the floor and put them away to eliminate a trip
hazard.
The six main categories of hazards are:
Biological. Biological hazards include
viruses, bacteria, insects, animals, etc., that
can cause adverse health impacts. For
example, mould, blood and other bodily
fluids, harmful plants, sewage, dust and
vermin.
Chemical. Chemical hazards are
hazardous substances that can cause harm.
These hazards can result in both health and
physical impacts, such as skin irritation,
respiratory system irritation, blindness,
corrosion and explosions.
Physical. Physical hazards are
environmental factors that can harm an
employee without necessarily touching them,
including heights, noise, radiation and
pressure.

Safety. These are hazards that create
unsafe working conditions. For example,
exposed wires or a damaged carpet might
result in a tripping hazard. These are
sometimes included under the category of
physical hazards.
Ergonomic. Ergonomic hazards are
a result of physical factors that can result in
musculoskeletal injuries. For example, a
poor workstation setup in an office, poor
posture and manual handling.
Common hazards encountered by computer technicians and users
Physical Hazards
One of the most common physical hazards involving computer
technicians is cables running across the floor. If someone trips, falls, and
hurts himself because of a cable you ran across the floor, someone (you, your
employer, or your customer) has a serious legal negligence problem.
Mechanical Hazards
When working on electronic equipment always be alert to any
possibility of being hurt by moving parts, hot components, or sharp edges.
Electric Shock Hazard
Inside computers and electronic equipment, there is a range of
voltages from 3.3 volts to 25 volts, most of these are harmless. But at the
power supply, you'll find line voltage, which is a lethal 220 volts.
Posture-related injuries from computer use
Back and neck pain, headaches, and shoulder and arm pain are
common computer-related injuries. Such muscle and joint problems can be
caused or made worse by poor workstation (desk) design, bad posture and
sitting for long periods of time.
Computer-related overuse injuries of the hand or arm
Muscles and tendons can become painful with repetitive movements
and awkward postures. This is known as ‘overuse injury’ and typically occurs
in the elbow, wrist or hand of computer users. Symptoms of these overuse

injuries include pain, swelling, stiffness of the joints, weakness and
numbness.
Eyestrain from computer use
An act of focusing your eyes at the same distance point for long
periods of time causes fatigue. The human eye structurally prefers to look at
objects more than six metres away, so any work performed close up puts
extra demands on your eye muscles. The illuminated computer screen can
also cause eye fatigue.

Symbols
Symbols are resources of complex communication that often can have
multiple levels of meaning. A symbol is a mark, sign or word that indicates,
signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship.
Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating
linkages between otherwise very different concepts and experiences. Hazard
symbols or warning symbols are recognizable symbols designed to warn
about hazardous or dangerous materials, locations, or objects, including
electric currents, poisons, and radioactivity. The use of hazard symbols is
often regulated by law and directed by standards organizations. Hazard
symbols may appear with different colors, backgrounds, borders and
supplemental information in order to specify the type of hazard and the level
of threat.

Safety Symbols and Their Meanings
The best occupational health and safety programs use a series of signs
and symbols to convey a complete message. Most safety signs and symbols
fall into one of four categories:
 Prohibition
 Warning
 Mandatory
 Emergency
Each category has its own specific colour and sign shape that remains
consistent around the world as per safety regulations. You will be able to
easily identify whether a sign is asking you to stop doing something, start
doing something, take precautions, or advising you of emergency equipment
or facilities through their characteristics which are presented in the table.
Table 1.

Why Use Safety Symbols?

Pictures may not say a thousand words, but they are universally
recognized symbols that transcend language. No matter where you’re
working, you’ll be able to understand the potential hazards you face simply by
looking at the posted symbols. There are two different types of safety
symbols: one refers to general safety protocols, while the other is used
specifically for labeling chemicals that may be hazardous. Since most
workplaces have a combination of both, it’s important to understand each of
them.
Hazard Symbols
Figure 1 Source: https://www.pure-chemical.com/blog/hazard-symbols/

Health Hazard - symbol is a clear indication of the substance being
carcinogenic, it induces respiratory irritation, directly causes damage to
organs and also imparts reproductive toxicity.
Acute Toxic – indicates the skull and for acute toxicity. When displayed on
chemical labels the message sent across is, they are toxic to the extent of
being fatal when inhaled, swallowed and on contact with skin.
Flammable - a picture of the flame abruptly indicates the substance is
flammable when it comes into contact with air or it may even heat up by itself
and ignite spontaneously.
Exclamation mark - a generic symbol which in addition to cautioning also
indicates that it causes irritation, acute toxicity, narcotic effect, respiratory tract
irritation and causes damage to internal organs.
Flame over circle - a symbol sends a word of caution for all gases and liquids
that oxidize. Though this reaction does not cause explosions it is capable of
loosing its nature and transforming to another undesired substance.
Gas Cylinder - a pictogram of gas cylinder indicates that the consignment
has liquified gases, compressed gas or dissolved gases.
Exploding Bomb –an explosive hazard symbol indicates an explosion where
the substance contained may react on its own and may cause a noticeable
increase in air pressure.
Environmental hazard -a dead fish in the pictogram indicates that the
substance is hazardous to aquatic life and should not be let into lakes, rivers
etc. Moreover, it indicates that there is a possibility of the ecosystem being
damaged for years.
Corrosion - a clear indication in the picture that the substance contained is
capable of corroding metals and skin.
The Importance of Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is clothing or equipment
designed to protect workers from physical hazards when on a worksite. PPE
should only be considered as a last line of defense between a hazard and the
worker. Attempts to control workplace risks and hazards should always be
addressed first. Making the workplace safe includes providing instructions,
procedures, training and supervision to encourage people to work safely and
responsibly. Safety is a major issue for day laborers and skilled laborers.
Commonly in a year accidents happen frequently in the construction industry
and often times it is due to the absence of Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) or failure to wear the provided PPE.

PPE includes items such as protective helmets, eye protection, high-
visibility clothing, safety footwear, safety harnesses and, sometimes,
respiratory protective equipment.
1. Head Protection
Hard hats are common on construction sites. They are designed
to protect against flying or falling objects that would otherwise impact or
penetrate the worker. Some hard hats are equipped with accessories such as
face shields and earmuffs. Hard hats should be well-fitted; those that are too
large or too small are inappropriate for use.
2. Eye and Face Protection
They are equally as important as head protection. Safety
goggles, spectacles and full face shields can give you the protection needed
for the eyes and face. Metal work, wood-work, hot-work and air-tool
operations all require this type of protection.
3. Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is vital on sites where toxic substances
are present. Respiratory protections like respirators are designed to protect
you from dust, fumes, paint spray, pesticides and other dangerous
substances that could cause permanent impairment.
4. Hand & Skin protection
Occupational skin diseases such as contact dermatitis, skin
cancers, and other skin injuries and infections are the second most common
type of occupational disease and can be very costly. Gloves commonly used
as PPE include rubber gloves, cut-resistant gloves, chainsaw gloves and
heat-resistant gloves. Using gloves helps to avoid hazards usually involved
when working with chemicals, glass, sheet metal, electricity, hot materials or
slippery objects.
5. Hearing protection
Industrial noise is often discounted as an occupational hazard
since it isn’t visible to the eye. Earplugs and earmuffs are common hearing
protection tools. It is important to note that earmuffs are more effective in
reducing high-frequency noise while earplugs are more effective for reducing
low-frequency noise.
6. Body Protection
PPE includes safety vests and suits and should be used for tasks
that can cause body injuries from extreme temperatures, flames and sparks,
toxic chemicals, insect bites and radiation. Ensure that they are clean and
free from cuts and burns. Always get a good fit to ensure full body protection.
7. Fall Protection
PPE includes safety harnesses and lanyards and should be
strictly used for task that can cause falling from heights and serious injury or
death. When inspecting equipment, ensure that the straps are free from
tears, deformities and burn marks and buckles are connected securely and
tightly. It is very important to dispose them if used after a falling incident.

The fear of stampede is one of the problem that the school faces
especially when students goes in and out of the school campus and when
natural disaster strikes e.g. typhoons, heavy rains, earthquakes, etc.
Stampedes usually happen when the enormous crowd movements are
disrupted, and the situation gets worse when crowd anxiety rises. It is already
an initiative of a person to run to save his/her own life.
Babag National High School is a public secondary institution located at
Babag I, Lapu-Lapu City. It is the only secondary school in the said barangay
that accommodates its own students and the students from the neighboring
barangays and municipality. The school is situated at the back of a
commercial building and Babag Elementary School. A narrow pathway with
an estimated width of 4 meters serves as the main entrance and exit for both
people and vehicles. The main entrance and exit are located near the
National Highway where in most of the vehicles pass by going either to
Cordova or Lapu-Lapu City. Since the population of Babag National High
School has increased, there is already a big probability that stampede may
occur especially during emergencies and evacuation considering the
insufficient size of entrance and exit gates.
One main aim of having this contingency plan is to prepared for the
worst case scenario especially in the midst of stampede. Recently, the school
is already implementing measures in controlling the traffic of going in and
outside the school campus.
As of the moment, the school has already established a SDRRM team,
with their respective positions, who will respond in an event of a disaster in
the school. Various school organizations such as Red Cross Youth (RCY),
Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) and
Junior Emergency Response Team (JERT) were already trained and
equipped with knowledge and skills to respond in the event of disaster. The
school has also linked with the Local Government Unit (LGUs) like the local
Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (BDRRMC), Bureau
of Fire Protection (BFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), Philippine Red
Cross etc. to aid the needs of the school during and after the disaster.

Hazard Identification
With the hazards identified, it was found out that stampede is the top
most human induced hazard in the school especially when man made or
natural disasters happen. This contingency plan is made to consider the
actions to be taken when stampede occurs.
Contingency plan for stampede aims to prepare an organization to
respond well to an emergency and its potential humanitarian impact. These
encompasses making decisions in advance about the management of human
and financial resources, coordination and communication procedures, and
being aware of a range of technical and logistical responses.

HAZARD TO PLAN FOR: STAMPEDE
Based on the assessment made by the SDRRM Members, stampede
requires contingency planning to ensure preparedness for effective response
to lessen possible casualties, protect lives and loss of properties.
The early warning signs that the school has already established
includes the alarm bell, and the noise created by the people like shouting,
running, etc. The triggering factor of this hazard is the occurrence of natural
and man-made disaster. People will be at the state of fear when they feel that
they are unsafe to a specific place.
Furthermore, to somehow control the traffic management of the school,
the presence of guards in the entry and exit points is an advantage. To
constantly remind the students on what to do before, during and after a
disaster, the Junior Emergency Response Team (JERT) conducts continuous
room to room update. The presence of Student Body Organizations which
includes the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP), Girl Scouts of the
Philippines (GSP), Rover Scouts, Supreme Student Government (SSG), Red
Cross Youth (RCY) and Junior Emergency Response Team (JERT) will help
manage the traffic and response to those who are at risk. The creation of the
SDRRM Team is an advantage in mitigating, controlling and managing the
situation. To simulate the evacuation in the event of the disaster, the school
conducts quarterly drills. Students will be exposed to evacuate the school in
actual scenario.
To guide the SDRRM Team, responders and volunteers contemplate
on the exact impact of threat that a stampede may bring, a scenario is
developed thinking through the possible impacts. On the basis of sensible
scenario, it is possible to set out the scale of the impact, the response and the
resources needed. The following question will guide the SDRRM Team and
responders in crafting the Contingency Plan in a systematic way: What is
going to happen? What are we going to do about it? What can we do
ahead of time to get prepared?
