Power Handling
Peripheral
A device that connects to a computer, such as a moniter or a printer, peripherals can present a safety hazard to you.
What's hot inside the Computer?
Components such as the CPU heat sink and fan, the printing head of a dot matrix printer, or components inside a laser printer can be hot.
Employee exposure to hazardous materials
What is the primary mechanism behind ESD?
Charge accumulation and sudden release
______ is the sudden flow of electricity between two objects with different electrical charges.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
What is the primary measure of power in an electrical circuit?
Power in Watts
What methods need to be maintained with fire?
Fire extinguishers and Sprinkers
What type of information MSDS provides?
A MSDS provides information related to potential hazards and safety precautions within an organization.
Which material is considered a good insulator that can lead to ESD if poorly handled?
Styrene
________ are the particularly vulnerable to damage from electrostatic discharge.
Sensitive Electronic Components
A capacitor can store electrical energy in an electric field. True or False
True
When carrying a heavy object, the best method of lifting is to keep the load:
Close to your body
An MSDS includes first aid measures for exposure to the chemical. True or False
True
What is a common threshold voltage for ESD damage in sensitive electronic components?
100V
______ helps to dissipate static electricity by providing a path for it to flow to the earth.
Grounding
What's the first step of ESD Safety Measures
Keep the relative humidity in the room at an ideal range of 35-70%, and temperature between 72-77 degrees. The key is to avoid dry air in the computer repair location to prevent ESD.
What is a potential hazard of wearing loose clothing while repairing computers?
Risk of entanglement
The ____ ____ section of the MSDS outlines the proper methods for disposal of the chemical.
Disposal Considerations
Which of the following methods is NOT effective in controlling ESD in a workplace?
Wearing rubber gloves
_____ are often used in work areas to prevent the buildup of static electricity.
Anti-static Mats
What are the use of ESD wrist straps?
Not only to protect components, but to reduce the chance of accidental electrical shock.
Repairing computers requires protective clothing that is primarily loose for ventilation. True or False
False
A chemical that would have an MSDS is?
Bleach
What is the term for the safe limit of voltage that can be tolerated by sensitive electronic devices before ESD damage occurs?
ESD threshold
____ neutralize static charges by releasing ions into the air.
Ionizers
