BE RESPECTFUL!

 Always treat the computer lab equipment AND your teacher and
classmates the way that you would want your belongings and yourself to be treated. 

No food or drinks near the computers. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Enter the computer lab quietly and work quietly. There are other groups and individuals who
may be using the computer lab. Please be respectful. 

Surf safely! Only visit assigned websites. Some web links can contain viruses or malware.
Others may contain inapropriate content. If you are not certain that a website is SAFE, please ask
a teacher or other adult.

Clean up your work area before you leave. All cords should be placed on the tables (not
hanging off the sides). Headphones should be placed on the CPU/tower or monitor. Chair should
be pushed under the tables. All trash, papers, and pencils should be picked up. 

Do not change computer settings or backgrounds. 

Ask permission before you print. 

SAVE all unfinished work to a cloud drive or jump drive. Any work that is saved to the
computer will be deleted when the computer is powered off or updated at the end of the day.

If you are the last class of the day, please POWER DOWN all computers and monitors. 
Do’s 1. Know the location of the fire extinguisher and the first aid box and how to use them in
case of an emergency. 2. Read and understand how to carry out an activity thoroughly before
coming to the laboratory. 3. Report fires or accidents to your lecturer/laboratory technician
immediately. 4. Report any broken plugs or exposed electrical wires to your lecturer/laboratory
technician immediately.

Don’ts

1. Do not eat or drink in the laboratory.


2. Avoid stepping on electrical wires or any other computer cables.
3. Do not open the system unit casing or monitor casing particularly when the power is
turned on. Some internal components hold electric voltages of up to 30000 volts, which
can be fatal.
4. Do not insert metal objects such as clips, pins and needles into the computer casings.
They may cause fire.
5. Do not remove anything from the computer laboratory without permission.
6. Do not touch, connect or disconnect any plug or cable without your lecturer/laboratory
technician’s permission.
7. Do not misbehave in the computer laboratory.
Computer Lab Safety Rules for Protecting Equipment

Do not bring any food or drinks near the machine.


Turn off the machine once you are done using it.
Do not plug in external devices without scanning them for computer viruses.
Ensure that the temperature in the room stays cool, since there are a lot of machines
inside a lab as these can overheat easily. This is one of the many ways of ensuring
computer safety.
Try not to touch any of the circuit boards and power sockets when a device is connected
to them and switched on.
Always maintain an extra copy of all your important data files.
