a. According to this legislation, what is meant by the phrase “duty of care”?

Answer: After carefully reading through the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and according to this legislation, I was able to ascertain what is meant by the phrase “Duty of Care”. Duty of Care refers to a legal obligation to take reasonable care to minimise the risk of foreseeable harm (physical and psychological) to yourself and others.

2.5 Choose one infectious disease to study in-depth. Conduct research and complete the following table. (130-150 words total)
Table 4 Research task: Infectious disease

What is the cause of the illness?

Answer: Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, occurs when the conjunctiva (the white part of the eyeball and the inner eye lid) is irritated by an infection or allergies.

If you have viral conjunctivitis, one or both eyes might be affected, and the discharge is likely to be clear.

If you have allergic conjunctivitis, both eyes are usually affected with a clear discharge, and you might also have hay-fever symptoms, such as an itchy nose, watery eyes and sneezing.
