Dressing for Safety

Dressing for Safety
Just as important as the work space is how you dress when you are working on a PC. Don’t worry, you won’t need to invest in a new wardrobe just so that you can build a PC. Just follow these simple tips:

• Wear cotton clothing and rubber-soled shoes (such as sneakers). These are best because they reduce the build-up of static charge.

• Avoid loose clothing. Sleeves, collars, scarves, and ties are a bad idea, because they can catch on the edges of the equipment. The absolute best clothing for PC building is a boiler suit!

• Be careful if you wear glasses. You don’t want your glasses falling into the workings of the PC. You can get an elasticized band, such as a sports band, that fits around them to hold them in place if they are a little loose and you’re worried about them falling off.

• Remove all jewelry if at all possible. Jewelry such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, and pendants can cause short circuits that can damage delicate components. If you have rings that you can’t or don’t want to remove, then cover them with insulating or surgical tape.

• Put long hair in a ponytail or use hair clips. You don’t want that hair caught in anything!

• Use thin cotton gloves. Cotton gloves come in handy if you are worried about touching something hot or with a sharp edge. Make sure that the gloves are cotton and not synthetic (the last thing you want is hot, melted nylon or polyester on your hands!).

• Wear a barrier cream. A PC, no matter how short a period it has been switched on for, tends to gather dust and dirt quickly. This dust can be quite an effective skin irritant, so if you have sensitive skin, you might want to invest in a special barrier cream (a special cream available from hardware stores that you rub into your skin, which protects it from dust and chemicals, that you wash out when finished) to rub into your hands.Wash your hands after you’ve been working on a PC.

Creating a Safe Working Area

Another key to safety is a having a good working environment. There’s no need for you to dedicate a whole
room or garage to building a PC, but having a good workspace makes the job of building a PC safer and easier. Figure 1-1 shows the wrong environment for building a PC, and Figure 1-2 shows the right one.

Here are the top requirements of a good, safe working area:

• Have an assigned work space and work area. Pick out the spot where you are going to work. Your work area is the place you’re going to be working in (corner of the living room, kitchen counter, bench in the garage), while the work space is the area you are going to be moving about in when working in the work area.

• Find a large enough work area. The smallest work area we recommend is 3 ft by 2 ft. A table or bench is ideal. Ideally, you should be able to leave things on the bench or tablefor several hours of days until you are finished. If this isn’t possible, then make sure you have a space that you can pack everything away into when you’re done for the day.

 Throw a dust sheet over the project when you’re not working on it to keep contamination to a minimum.

• Do not eat or drink around the PC as it is being built. A spilled soda or a poorly placedpeanut butter and jelly sandwich can cause a major setback, not to mention damage.

• Set up a bright and well lit work area. Natural lighting is best because it is diffuse anddoesn’t cast harsh, dark shadows, but artificial lighting will do if you can’t work near abright window. Augment what lighting you have present with a good flashlight.

• Be sure to have a power outlet nearby. Ideally, it should have a good grounding point nearby too (such as a water pipe or radiator).

• Avoid working on carpeted surfaces, if possible. A carpeted work area increases the static electricity that you generate when walking about. However, if you can’t avoid this, don’t worry, we’ll show you how you can deal with static charge build-up in the section “Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)” later in this chapter.

• Cover the work area with white paper. This makes it easier to see things like little screws when you drop them. Also, the white encourages you to be tidy and others to keep away!

• Keep children and pets out of the work space.We agree that pets in the work space are a bad idea for a variety of reasons, but kids might be interested in what’s going on, and both you and your child might find the PC-building process interesting and educational. If so, then a good idea is to set up an observation area where they can watch what’s going on in safety and without getting in the way, messing about with things, or stepping on expensive electronics.

• Keep all the tools and equipment you will need close at hand in the work area. The less you walk about, the less likely you are to knock stuff over or trip. Building a PC involves having cables and boxes in and around the work area. Be careful that these aren’t in places where you can trip over them.

• Keep the work area tidy and clean and free from liquids. Liquids are especially nasty, as a small amount of liquid can go very far indeed!

• Keep a small first aid kit and fire extinguisher nearby—just in case! Outfit your first aid kit to deal with small cuts, and make sure that you have plenty of bandages in the kit!

PC Personal Safety-Spinning Things

Spinning Things
 
Many people are surprised by the number of exposed “spinning” things that are inside a PC. These are fans of one sort of another, and most are quite unlike other fans that you have in your home because many, if not all, have no wire guard to keep your fingers away from them. However, there is little danger to fingers from the fans that live and work inside a PC. All of them will have blades made of light plastic, and while some might be big and spin quite fast (up to a rate of several thousand revolutions per minute), they have little power behind them. You would hardly be able to feel the blades hit you, let alone have them cause you any damage. In reality, the biggest danger from fans is getting your hair or clothing caught up in them. Keep your hair and clothing tidy, and keep them away from fans when they are in operation.

PC Personal Safety-Sharp Things

Sharp Things


The inside of even the best PC case contains a number of sharp metal edges and corners all waiting to catch you. There are some things that you can do to help reduce the number of sharps that are present  Choosing a Suitable Case and Power Supply,” and 13, “Assembling the Case and Fitting the , but no matter how carefully you choose a case and how much you try to remove edges, some will still remain (the edges and cornersof hard drives are particularly nasty!).
The best advice for working with sharp things? Take care and take your time.Working on a cool PC makes accidents from sharps less likely, too. Snatching your hand away from something hot is the number one cause of PC-related cuts, so it’s another good reason to give the system a cool-down period before setting to work on it.

Hot Things

Hot Things

Where there’s electricity, there’s usually heat. A PC that’s been switched on for a few minute scan generate a lot of heat, especially from the power supply, hard drives, and CPU, and thisheat can be enough to give you a nasty burn. Getting a burn on the back of your hand whiletrying to do something can be bad enough, but it can also mean that you drop things or knockagainst things and cause further damage to your hand or your PC.As a general rule of thumb, if a PC has been switched on for more than 5 minutes, then it’s a good idea to wait 5 minutes before setting to work inside it, and if it’s been on for an hour or more, then wait at least 10 minutes.Taking the side panels off the case will help it to cool down quicker.

   If you want to test for hot components, then a good trick is to use the back of your hand. By moving the back of your hand close to the metal surfaces, you have a good, safe way to judge how hot components are. This method is far better than using your fingertips, which you don’t want to burn because you’ll be needing them later, and it’s hard to work with a bandage on!

PC Personal Safety

Inside a PC is a whole host of dangers awaiting you. The four big, most serious dangers are:

• High-voltage things
• Hot things
• Sharp things
• Spinning things

There are also some other miscellaneous dangers that face you too, but before we come to them let’s take a
closer look at the big four.

High-Voltage Things

Without a doubt the biggest danger that you face when inside a PC is from high voltage. PCs are designed to take in voltage ranging from 110 volts to 250 volts, which is then converted into lower voltages that will be
used by the motherboard, hard drives, optical drives (CD or DVD drives), and other devices, such as fans, that all live and work inside the PC. It’s no joke or exaggeration to say that high voltage can kill. An electric shock in real life isn’t like it’s depicted in the movies where someone touches a live wire, is thrown 30 feet away and then gets up, face black, clothes smoldering but otherwise OK. According to the National Institutes of Health, some 1,000 people die in the United States each year because of electrocution. Electricity kills by stopping the heart and breathing, and it can kill instantly. If you are lucky enough to survive
contact with electricity, then you are likely to suffer from burns and nerve, muscle, and this sure damage.

          We’re not telling you this to scare you; on the contrary, we’re giving you the dangers straight so that you understand them and are able to know what is safe to do and what is not. Everything that we show or tell you in this this 100% tried, tested, and safe. Follow the instructions and you’ll be OK.If you are ever in any doubt, pause and reread the instructions.The best way to protect yourself from electrocution is to limit your exposure to electricity. Most of the time when you are working on your PC you don’t need it plugged into the electrical supply. That way, no power is going into the PC and the dangers of electrocution are eliminated. There may be times when you will want to run your PC without having the case all buttoned up. For example, you might want to check out whether all the fans inside the case are spinning properly. The best advice here is to keep your hands, head, and all hand tools out of the case. If you want to look at something, do so from a distance and use a flashlight to get a better view.

Whenever a PC is plugged into the electrical supply without having the case buttoned up, remember the old adage of “look but don’t touch.

”The biggest danger from electrocution comes after a PC has been plugged into the electrical supply and is then switched off. It’s very easy to forget that it’s been on and still connected and then set about to work inside. A visual marker that the PC is connected to the power outlet can be very handy. Here are two good techniques:

• Tape a fluorescent bit of plastic, paper, or fabric to the power connector. You’ll find thepower connector at the back of the PC. By taping something to the power connector,you have a handy visual reminder that your PC is still plugged in and live. Unplug thepower socket from the back of the PC, and you make it safe again.

• Equip your workplace with a hanger for the PC power cable. For this, a bent over bit ofwire will do just fine. Make this a visible spot, and remember to hang the power cord onthe hanger when working inside the PC (the fluorescent plastic, paper, or fabric tagmakes it even easier to spot when the PC is safe!).

The following list includes additional safety tips:

• Let others know what you are doing. It always helps if everyone else is clear about whatyou are doing. This way those around you will be appreciative of the risks that you aretaking and hopefully ease off any practical jokes (those “pretend” electric shock gags getreal old, real fast, anyway). Also, this way you get other people to keep an eye on youwhile you are working just in case anything does go wrong.

• Keep liquids away from the PC work area. Spilling water or other liquids into a PC cancause short circuits and electrocution, as can working in a wet or damp environment.Wet rags, tools, and work surfaces can also conduct electricity. Keep liquids away fromthe work area, and keep the area clean and dry.

• Use insulated electrical tools. These tools are the types that have a rubber or plastichandle that can’t conduct electricity. No matter how careful you are, accidents can happen.These tools can offer you protection against accidents but shouldn’t be used as asubstitute for taking the proper safety steps.

Not all plastic or rubber handled tools offer protection from electricity. If you want to buy safety tools then make sure that the handle clearly states that the tool is insulated and also what the rating is (usually “electricians” tools protect the user from up to 1,000 or 10,000 volts, depending on the quality of the tool).
Chapter 2, “Choosing the Tools You Need,” takes a more detailed look at the tools you should be using to build your PC.
