Personal Safety

IT techs live in a dangerous world. We’re in constant danger of tripping,

hurting our backs, and getting burned by hot components. You also need to

keep in mind what you wear (in a safety sense). Let’s take a moment to

discuss these personal safety issues and what to do about them.

CAUTION When thinking about safety, maintain compliance with

government regulations. You may be required to wear certain protective gear

or take extra precautions while in the workplace. Make sure you also follow

any environmental rules for the disposal of old parts, especially with things

like CRT monitors, batteries, and toner cartridges, which may contain

hazardous or toxic materials. Check with your employer or your local

government’s Web site for more information.

If you don’t stay organized, hardware technology will take over your life.
