Give students a list of safety rules used at another school which should include some of their suggestions as well. Explain to the students that this method of presenting the information is not effective because this handout is not attractive. Ask students to use this list together with the rules that they formulated to create an attractive PowerPoint for safety in the computer lab. Show a video on creating an effective PowerPoint.

Common Lab Rules Rules for Protecting Yourself 1. Do not run inside the computer lab. 2. Take a note of all the exits in the room, and also take note of the location of fire extinguishers in the room for the sake of fire safety. 3. Keep bags and coats in the designated area, as they can cause people to trip if they are simply lying around the room. 4. Try not to type continuously for extremely long periods. 5. Look away from the screen once in a while to give your eyes a rest. 6. Do not touch any exposed wires or sockets. 7. Avoid making loud noises and speaking loudly. 8. Do not attempt to open any machines, and do not touch the backs of machines when they are switched on. 9. Do not spill water or any other liquid on the machine, in order to maintain electrical safety. Rules for Protecting Equipment 1. Do not bring any food or drinks near the machine. 2. Turn off the machine you were using, when you are done using it. 3. Do not access external devices without scanning them for computer viruses. 4. Ensure that the temperature in the room stays cool, since there are a lot of machines inside a lab, and these can overheat easily. This is one of the many ways of ensuring computer safety. 5. Always maintain an extra copy of all your important data. 6. Dust can affect computers adversely. Ensure that the machines are cleaned on a regular basis. Needless to say, the laboratory equipment that is present inside a computer lab is very expensive, and it is your responsibility to ensure that this equipment is kept safe and sound. If some damage is incurred by this equipment, the cost of repairing or replacing it will be very high indeed. Hence, the importance of following these lab safety rules for schools cannot be stressed enough!
