IDENTIFYING
HAZARDS AND
RISKS
1. Discuss the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)
standards in ICT environments.
2. Recognize the importance of OSH standards in ICT
environments and develop a sense of responsibility by
advocating for their adherence to ensure a safe
workplace.
3. Create an essay on situation analysis that
demonstrates concern and responsibility by accurately
identifying key issues, proposing solutions, and
reflecting on the impact of these solutions.
LESSON TARGETS:
I can…

It?
Roam inside and
outside the classroom
for a few minutes. List
down at least 3 things
that can cause injury
or harm. Share your
list to the class.
1.How did you find the activity?
3.What are the three (3) things you have listed
that can cause injury or harm?
2.What are the areas on the school campus
that you visited?

What hazards or risks are present
in this image?
HAZARD
is any source of
potential damage,
harm or adverse
health effects
is anything that could
hurt you or anybody
• frayed electrical cords (could
result in electrical shock)
• boxes stacked precariously (they
could fall on anybody)
• noisy machinery (could result in
damage to hearing)
RISK
is the chance or
probability that a person
will be harmed or
experience adverse
health effect if exposed
to a hazard
OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH
(OSH)
• is a working system that
prevents illness and injury
• recognize and identify
hazards and risk
• encourages the highest
level of physical, mental,
and social health for all
employees
• established and
implemented by DOLE
MANAGING
HEALTH AND
SAFETY AT
WORK
3 - THINK SAFE
STEPS
SPOT THE HAZARD
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
• Being alert at all times
is good.
• some hazards cannot
be easily identified and
not obvious
PHYSICAL
• this can be easily seen
or recognized
• floors, stairs,
platforms, ladders,
prolonged noise,
vibration, heat, cold,
ventilation and air
quality
MECHANICAL OR
ELECTRICAL
• this includes pressure
vessels, electricity,
equipment, cranes,
and machinery
CHEMICAL
• example are acids and
poisons, cleaning
agents, fumes, and
explosive devices
• display cleaning
chemicals, keyboard
cleaning chemicals,
compressed gas dirt
and dust removers,
and many cleaning
solvents
BIOLOGICAL
• This includes viruses,
insects, vermin (pest)
and bacteria
PSYCHOSOCIAL
• workplace stresses
arising from a variety
of sources
• factors in the work
environment that can
cause stress, strain, or
interpersonal
problems for the
worker
REPETITIVE STRESS
INJURIES
• Are a collection of
related overuse
illnesses affecting the
muscles, nerves, and
tendons
REPETITIVE STRESS
INJURIES
ERGONOMICS
• It is the study of a safe
and effective work
environment
ASSESS THE RISK
RISK ASSESSMENT
• work on the possibility
or extent of harm that a
hazard may bring
• nature of the hazard,
hazard combination,
types of injuries
• assess the layout of the
workplace and the
people working on it
MAKE THE CHANGES
RISK CONTROL
• first aim must be to
totally eliminate the risk
a. Substitution
b. Isolation
c. Safeguards
d. Instructing workers on the
safest way to do something
e. using PPE and clothing
COMMON
HAZARDS
ENCOUNTERED
BY COMPUTER
TECHNICIANS AND
USERS
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
• most common
• cables running across
the floor
• assess the risk
• place a danger sign to
remind people
MECHANICAL HAZARDS
• the one happening
when printing
• printer may injure the
user’s fingertip
• you must be alert at all
times
CHEMICAL HAZARDS
• cleaning chemicals and
compressed dust
remover
• harmful when
swallowed or poured
onto bare skin
• read any warnings and
instructions
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
• there is a range of
voltages found in
electronic equipment
• care and attention
must also be observed
at all times
• hazard can be lethal
HOW TO
IMPLEMENT THE
5S APPROACH IN
WORKSTATIONS
• systematic approach to workplace
organization focuses on reducing
waste, increases efficiency, and
overall work quality
• Hiroyuki Hirano created this to
have a safer, more efficient
operation
SEIRI (SORT)
• identify what is and
isn’t working
• Putting things in
order
• remove or discard
what is not needed
After identifying these non-
essential things, classify them as:
1) Waste
2) Valuable, but not critical
Consider whether they are:
1) essential
2) used occasionally
3) never at all
Imagine your classroom is a giant
puzzle, and every item has its own
piece. For a fun challenge, choose
three different types of items (e.g.,
books, supplies, or personal
belongings).
How would you "sort" these items to
make the classroom more organized?
SEITON
(STRAIGHTEN)
• a place for
everything, and
everything in its
place
• Orderliness/ Proper
Arrangement
Designate positions for everything
you’ll need
• hand tools, cords, cables
• make a specific place for tools
Eliminate “hunting” for tools and
supplies
• create a place for those things
Take time to consider the flow of work.
Ask yourself:
• What do I need to do my job?
• Where should I locate it, once I’ve
determined an item is needed?
• How many do I need?
Picture your workspace is a busy
kitchen. For a fun twist, think of
three kitchen tools or utensils that
need to be "straightened" for
optimal use.
How would you arrange these tools to
make cooking easier and more
efficient?
SEISO (SHINE)
• more or less clean
• it isn’t something
that is done only
when there is time -
it’s done without fail
everyday
Imagine your classroom is a
magical garden that needs a little
"shining up." Choose three areas or
items in the room that could use
some extra sparkle and cleanliness.
How would you "shine" these areas to
make them look their best?
SEIKETSU
(STANDARDIZE)
• the aim is to adopt
the high standards
of cleanliness and
order
• may take the form of
instruction sheets,
diagrams or images
Think of your classroom as a game
show where the challenge is to
"standardize" the way things are
done. Choose three daily tasks or
routines (like organizing desks,
submitting the outputs, or setting
up materials).
How would you create a fun, step-by-
step guide or checklist to make sure
everyone follows the same process?
SHITSUKE (SUSTAIN)
• hardest part of the
process
• implies continuous
training and the
maintenance of
standards
Imagine you're the captain of a
"Sustainability Squad" in your
classroom. Your mission is to create a
fun and engaging plan to keep your
classroom habits and routines on
track. Choose three key practices (like
tidying up after activities, maintaining
organization, or following a schedule).
How would you motivate your
classmates to stick to these practices
every day?
How can minor hazards
in an ICT environment
lead to major safety and
security issues, and
what solutions would
effectively prevent this?
How can applying the 5S
approach in a
workstation help reduce
hazards and risks, and
create a safer, more
efficient working
environment?
As Teresians, how
do you face
personal danger
like stress or
disorganization,
both in school
and in life? What
steps help you
overcome these
challenges?
The class will be divided into 6 groups,
and each group will be given a different
scenario concerning the possible hazards
and risks encountered in the ICT
environment. Afterwards, they will be
required to make an essay consisting of
identified key issues, proposed solutions,
and reflection on the impact of these
solutions. There should be 5–7 sentences
on each part of the essay.
STAY SAFE!
