with ICT

17. A) Trailing Cables
• Computer equipment is often
connected to lots of cables (power,
network, etc.)
• If these cables are laying on the
floor, they can cause people to trip
over them
SOLUTION: Place cables inside cable
ducts or under the carpet or flooring

18. B) Spilt Drinks or Foods
• If any liquids are spilled on
electrical equipment, it can
eventually result to damage or
an electric shock to the user
SOLUTION: Keep food and
drinks away from the computer

19. C) Overloaded Power Sockets
• Plugging too many power
cables into a socket can result
in the socket being overloaded,
overheating and a fire starting.
SOLUTION: Never plug too many
cables into a socket. Always
make sure there are fire
extinguishers nearby.

20. D) Heavy Objects Falling
• Many items of computer equipment
are very heavy such as CRT
monitors, laser printers, among

• Heavy items can cause serious
injury if they fall on people.

placed on strong tables or shelves.
