Legislation and How They Impact On WHS

[KR8183]

I really don't understand this question??

Regulation, Law or Code How it Impacts on WHS/OHS in the Workplace
a) The Act
Work Health & Safety Act 2011 Provide a balanced and nationally consistent framework to secure the health and safety of workers and workplaces

Do I need to write that red part - Work Health & Safety Act 2011

When it asks for 3 examples of how they impact on WHS and OHS in the workplace is this what it's asking for?
a) Hazardous manual tasks
Work Health and Safety Codes of Practice 2011 - do I need to write this???

Give 3 examples.
i. Bending down to talk to children.
ii. Lifting non walking children
iii. Moving heavy objects

If these examples are not what it's asking for can you please give me some direction?

There are others within the National Regulations that you can also refer to.
