ICT Apprentice Legislation

This provides to my job as there is asbestos in the ceiling . With this how to go through first a risk assessment before just snooping around the place.

As our company is run from the house, there is no risk of hazardous substances. 95% of our work is carried out in domestic customer property, when we are in a business premise, we need to ensure we are very careful of substances which could cause harm.

Make sure the right equpment is provided such as anti static wristbands, anti static mat, make sure all cables and wires are kept tidy and there are no trip hazrads around the workplace. All fire exits should be clear, Anything too heavy should be team lifted, ensure you have learnt the right lifting techniques.

PC homecall has a 'duty of care' to look after, as far as possible, your health, safety and welfare while you are at work.

Your employer must make sure that he has a valid health and safety cetificate and all safety precautions are used, I must also be provided with all the correct equipment for my work such as anti static wristbrands-mat, gloves. There should be a first aid officer and a first aid kit present and signs to indicate where the nearest fire exit is and it should be kept clear.

Any accidents must be reported in to the accident book.

I am responsible for checking file permissions on test servers after examples.

I need to make sure that e.g. Learners are using own passwords.

I need to make sure i am only using my username and password

Make sure I only use my own username and password and if working on a customers computer I must not tamper-delete any of their information. I must also not introduce a virus to the network.

I have to be responsible for my own safety also the safety of my colleagues, making sure the workplace is clean and tidy, also make sure you dont put yourself or any other members of staff in danger.

In Green Light if there is an avoidable risk then we will make precautions to prevent an accident. We are allowed up to an hour's break away from the computer a day, also regular breaks to walk around, we must also have our own responsibility for our health and safety and not try to carry something alone if we are not able to do so. If you see a hazzord at work you must report it straight away to someone who works there. You must also make sure your work place is kept clear and all trailing leads are dealt with.

I need to ensure I look after my own health and safety and report any accident immediately. Any spillages are breakages I cause are cleaned up and correct signage is placed in the area if appropriate.

In the school if you had cut yourself and it needed a plaster, you would not need to take any actions towards it. On the other hand if you had a serious accident like falling off a ladder, then action would have to be taken towards it, in what happened and why it happened. This will all then be written up and put in the accident booklet. depending on the how big the accident is, is how big you will go against it.

In my work place if an accident occured you would have to report this into the accident book explaining what the accident is and how bad the injury is. if the accident was only a minor cut then no action needed, if the accident was major then action would most certainly need taking.

In the company Green Light Technology Solutions that I work in, if you were to have a serious injury, e.g getting hit by a photocopier falling over then this should be reported and action may be taken against it.

If we had an injury at work, we would have to make a note of it in the accident book and seek medical assistance. Also report to Itec.
