This document outlines an occupational health and safety policy for working with computer equipment. It states that safety practices should be learned early and followed when working with any electrical or electronic devices. The policy lists procedures to identify and address hazards, such as clearing the area of hazards if possible or reporting them to a teacher or principal. It provides personal safety guidelines for working with computers, such as wearing shoes with rubber soles and not working on plugged-in components to avoid electrical accidents. The overall message is that computer equipment can be dangerous if proper safety guidelines are not followed.
