Warnings and Safety Guidelines for Software Use

Based on the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on General Product Safety (GPSR), we present a list of safety warnings. The purpose is to protect users from potential hazards resulting from improper use of products/devices/software. The warnings are formulated in a simple and understandable way to ensure accessibility for a wide audience, including elderly people and individuals with mobility limitations.

List of hazards and safety precautions for software use

1. Risk of data loss or system damage
* Hazard: improper installation, deletion of system files, or lack of backups.
* Precautions: always perform regular backups; install software only from trusted sources.

2. Exposure to cyberattacks (viruses, malware)
* Hazard: downloading files from unverified websites, lack of antivirus protection.
* Precautions: use up-to-date antivirus programs, avoid opening suspicious email attachments, enable automatic updates.

3. Hardware overload and overheating
* Hazard: intensive software use (e.g., graphics processing, floating-point calculations, BF) may lead to device overheating.
* Precautions: use the device in a well-ventilated area, do not cover ventilation openings. If overheating occurs – turn off the device and wait several minutes for it to cool down.

4. Risk of electric shock and cuts (indirect)
* Hazard: although software itself poses no physical risk, improper use of computer equipment (e.g., touching cables in a damp environment) while using programs can be hazardous.
* Precautions: never operate computer devices with wet hands, avoid working in damp rooms, and regularly check cables and casings.

5. Health risks from prolonged use
* Hazard: eye strain, back pain, wrist and shoulder discomfort caused by long hours of computer work using office software.
* Precautions: take regular breaks every 45–60 minutes, use an ergonomic chair and keyboard, and position the monitor at eye level.

6. Dangers for children and inexperienced users
* Hazard: children may accidentally download harmful programs or share personal data.
* Precautions: enable parental controls, do not leave children unattended at the computer, and educate them about safe online behavior.

7. Problems in high-humidity or high-temperature environments
* Hazard: using software in high-temperature conditions (e.g., laptop on the lap in direct sunlight) or in humid environments (e.g., kitchen, bathroom) can cause hardware failure and indirect user risks.
* Precautions: use the equipment in suitable climate conditions, avoid using it near heat sources or in high-humidity areas.

8. Risks related to maintenance and updates
* Hazard: lack of software updates may create security vulnerabilities – unskilled attempts to modify the system may result in data loss.
* Precautions: always install official updates; do not modify system files without technical knowledge. Use authorized service support.
