Care for computers hardware
Introduction
It is a well-documented fact; in many organizations there is a need for carrying out safety practices to create a favorable working environment. The key role for occupation safety risk is to eradicate problems that reduce the hazard associated with illness. With this regard, specific policies are implemented in regard to enhancing security in working areas. In this context, the occupation healthy and safety (OH& S) enhances that there is effective action plans that provide aspects for occupation healthy. Studies outline that; OH&S act provides information on risk management, Policy development, legislation with support materials, communication and staff development (Cimino & Shortliffe 10). With no doubt; the core goal of occupation healthy and safety is to foster a safe working environment. In conjunction with this, OH & S deals with various subjects such as occupation medicine, healthy physics, occupation hygiene and safety engineering. With this regard, this paper seeks to analyze the care for computers hardware through identifying OH & S areas that relate to the installation and maintenance of computer hardware, the safety maintenance of computer hardware and various work experiences regarding computer printer hardware.
SAFE WORK PRACTICES
OH & S areas of installation and maintenance of computer hardware
According to Officewise (36), printing and copying machines such as facsimile machines, photocopiers and laser printers are most common in many offices. With no doubt; the usages of printing and copying machines have increased due to emerging technology. By using these machines, it enhances strong focus on professional service and support. It is borne in mind; office copying machines is the computer networking solutions, which as a result, offers businesses efficiency and productivity. Nevertheless, despite their widespread use and benefits; they pose risks to employees healthy along with safety under normal circumstances.
First, there are critical hazards on heat and light produced while using printing and copying machines and awareness of these hazards eliminates healthy risks in addition, safety handling of such equipment. It is a well-documented fact; light exposure from printing and copying equipments causes eye discomfort despite the fact; the damage is unlikely to happen incidentally. Following these serious effects, it is important for employees to have response plans of minimizing lights in addition, purchasing well-designed machines to assist in preventing excessive light.
Secondly, fax machines, printers and photocopiers are kept in one room; if there is inadequate ventilation then; this poses healthy risk to employees around these machines. Thirdly, some electrostatic processors such as laser printers and copiers use corona in making prints. Researchers argue that, the coronas are electron, which break the oxygen molecules that recombine with oxygen molecule to make ozone (Cimino & Shortliffe 50). Ozone is an irritant that irritates eyes, throat, nose and respiratory system. Cimino and Shortliffe argue that, photocopier has an average of 260 micrograms per minute though insufficient, degrades oxygen.
Appropriate protection
First, to avoid excessive light from the printing and copying machines; the user should avoid looking directly at the light from the photocopier. One should locate the photocopier machine in a convenient place that does not affect many people. In addition, the document cover ought to be closed during photocopying. Secondly, one should locate fax machines, printers and photocopiers in a location with the least disruption to enhance an adequate place for the machines. Thirdly, adequate ventilation is recommended for photocopiers machines in order to eradicate ozone. Fourthly, procedures for safe use of machines should be displayed for safe working environment. Fifthly, equipment should be restored in accordance to the given specifications to obtain appropriate instruction manuals and ways of handling. Following the manufacturing instruction is the core principle for ensuring that all practices are applied at the work place. This can be achieved through recognizing manual handling as much as possible in the work place environment.
HARDWARE QUALITY STANDARDS
HP LaserJet printer
It is a well-documented fact; the HP laser jet printer was the first world desktop laser printer. In facts, the HP Laser jet printers employ the electro-photographic laser marking the main independent supplier been in UK. The HP Laser Jet print cartridges are backed with HP’s first-rate, protection safety. In essence, it is warranted free from defects in workmanship and materials for 90 days from the date of purchase. In aspects that cartridge proves faulty; the client is obligated to complete services information on the product box on the name, place of issue, phone number, address and a brief description of the defective.
Xerox Phaser 3300 MFP
The Xerox phaser 3300MFP is well-featured with high speed ideal for the personal use or a team work. The Xerox genuine suppliers deliver the superior value of the multifunction to 30ppm; the main suppliers been in United State. In essence, the Xerox phaser 3300MFP has a warrant of one year’s depot that enhances total satisfaction guarantee.
It is borne in mind that; both HP LaserJet printer and Xerox phaser 3300MFP do not conform to the Australian standards for service and repair in the sense that, they do not conform to the product specification. On the contrary, they conform to the International quality in the sense that, its quality fits internationally.
ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS FOR HP COLOUR LASERJET 2700N PRINTERS
According to Einbinder (39), there should be a stable temperature of 210 degree Celsius that is the printer fusing temperature. Secondly, HP Color LaserJet 2700n printers should be kept away from children in that, if swallowed it is poisonous. Thirdly, it should be kept away from dust to maintain its quality. Fourthly, it should be kept away from water to maintain its quality and functioning. Fifthly, it should be kept away from extreme heat to avoid it from melting thus, enhancing its quality.
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
In facts, the printer should be repaired occasionally to maintain its quality. It should be serviced frequently to maintain its value. When cleaning, one should bear in mind that; water is a dangerous cleaning agent and the best recommended cleaning agent is acetone, which is the organic compound that is colorless liquid. In conjunction with this, there are various methods that may be used in cleaning such as blowing and wiping. With no doubt; when maintenance is emphasis then, there is an assurance of the printer quality.
Conclusion
In facts, computer maintenance plays a fundamental role in enhancing the quality. As discussed in the paper, one should establish a safe working environment; hardware should be handled with quality standards through effective maintenance and there should be a suitable environment for HP Color LaserJet 2700n printers. With this and many more, this paper has analyzed the care for computers hardware through identifying OH & S areas that relate to the installation and maintenance of computer hardware, the safety maintenance of computer hardware and various work experiences regarding computer printer hardware.
