Ch 14: Workplace Quality Measures
Workplace Quality Measures
Good air and water quality improve employees' working capability. Pollution can be analysed physically, chemically and biologically. The pH value of water is measured through chemical analysis.
Clean Air & Water Guidelines
- Avoid dust, solid particles and gases; keep ozone (smog) low.
- Limit vehicles — practise a "no-vehicle day" every week.
- Do not mix sewage/waste water with surrounding water; avoid excess fertilizers.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics: the science of designing and arranging things (screen, keyboard, chair, desk) so people work safely and comfortably.
Cautions while Working on the Computer
- Use a surge protector and a UPS (battery backup).
- Remove rings, watches and necklaces (conductive metals).
- Unplug power before internal work — a processor overheats within 7 seconds if the heat sink is detached.
Summary
- Pollution analysed physically, chemically, biologically; water pH measured chemically.
- Ergonomics designs the workstation for comfort and safety.
- Use surge protector and UPS; remove metal ornaments; unplug before internal work.
Workplace Quality Measures
अच्छी air और water quality कर्मचारियों की कार्यक्षमता बढ़ाती है। प्रदूषण का physical, chemical और biological विश्लेषण होता है। पानी का pH chemical analysis से मापा जाता है।
Clean Air & Water Guidelines
- धूल, कण और gases से बचें; ozone (smog) कम रखें।
- वाहन सीमित करें — हर हफ्ते "no-vehicle day"।
- Sewage/waste water आसपास के पानी में न मिलाएं; अधिक fertilizers से बचें।
Ergonomics
Ergonomics: चीज़ों (screen, keyboard, chair, desk) को इस तरह design/arrange करने का विज्ञान कि लोग सुरक्षित और आराम से काम करें।
Computer पर काम करते समय सावधानियाँ
- Surge protector और UPS (battery backup) इस्तेमाल करें।
- अंगूठियाँ, घड़ियाँ, हार उतारें (conductive metals)।
- अंदरूनी काम से पहले power unplug करें — heat sink हटने पर processor 7 सेकंड में गरम हो जाता है।
सारांश
- प्रदूषण physical, chemical, biological रूप से; पानी का pH chemically।
- Ergonomics workstation को आराम व सुरक्षा के लिए design करता है।
- Surge protector व UPS; धातु के गहने उतारें; अंदरूनी काम से पहले unplug।
