Figure 1-12 What a strange, bad trip it’s been.

Another personal safety issue is heavy boxes. Computers, printers,

monitors—everything we use—all seem to come to us in heavy boxes. Use

proper lifting techniques. Remember never to lift with your back; lift with

your legs, and always use a hand truck if available. Pay attention to weight

limitations on the devices you use to move anything heavy. You are never

paid enough to risk your own health.

You also need to watch out for hot components. It’s hard to burn yourself

unless you open up a computer, printer, or monitor. First, watch for anything

with a cooling fan like the one shown in Figure 1-13. If you see a cooling fan,

odds are good that something is hot enough to burn you—such as the metal

cooling fins below the fan. Also look for labels or stickers warning about hot

components. Last, when in doubt, move your hand over components as if you

were checking the heat on a stove.
