Operational Procedures: Environmental Controls

So, what is the best range of environmental controls to protect our workstations and provide our computers with the best operating environment? For temperature, we seek a range of 68-76 degrees Fahrenheit, and we attempt to keep the humidity between 20 and 60 percent. If the humidity is higher, it prevents electrostatic buildup. If the humidity is too high, though, condensation and water vapor can occur. It is a fragile balance, but the best rule of thumb is that if humans are comfortable, the environment is probably within the specifications. Also, we need to ensure proper ventilation for both people and computers. We want to minimize the dust in the environment and ensure adequate cooling to remove the heat created by the workstations.

那麼，保護我們的工作站並為我們的計算機提供最佳操作環境的最佳環境控制範圍是什麼？對於溫度，我們尋求的溫度範圍為華氏68-76度，並且嘗試將濕度保持在20％到60％之間。如果濕度較高，則可防止靜電積聚。但是，如果濕度太高，則會發生冷凝和水蒸氣。這是一個脆弱的平衡，但是最好的經驗法則是，如果人類感到舒適，則環境可能在規格範圍內。此外，我們需要確保人和計算機的通風良好。我們希望最大程度地減少環境中的灰塵，並確保充分冷卻以消除工作站產生的熱量。

Additionally, we need to consider the chemicals that we often encounter in our daily jobs. Each product that uses chemicals must have a material safety data sheet (MSDS) with it. This sheet includes the proper treatment if a person comes into contact with the substance, how to deal with chemical spills, how to properly dispose of the chemicals, and proper storage of the substance. MSDS are required for all products with chemicals, including things like window cleaning solution as well as more complex compounds like the thermal paste that we use in workstations.

此外，我們需要考慮日常工作中經常遇到的化學物質。每個使用化學藥品的產品都必須隨附材料安全數據表（MSDS）。該表包括如果有人接觸該物質應進行的適當處理，如何處理化學溢出物，如何正確處理該化學物質以及正確地存儲該物質。所有含化學物質的產品都需要MSDS，包括窗戶清潔液以及更複雜的化合物（例如我們在工作站中使用的導熱膏）。
