Referring to a current resource e.g.Staying Healthy(NHMRC)
1.Identify four(4)causes/sources of infection
-Bacteria
-Viruses
-Fungi
-Protozoa
2.Briefly describe in your own words, how germs are spread and why they should be minimised in the workplace.
-Germs can spread to the hands by sneezing, coughing, or rubbing the eyes and then can be transferred to other family members or friends. 
-Germs are transmitted from unclean hands to food by an infected food preparing who didn’t wash hands after using the toilet. The germs are then passed to those who eat the food. 
-Germs are transmitted from raw foods,such as beef, someone preparing a meal. The germs on the hands are then transferred to other uncooked foods.
-Infected child to hands to other children
-Animals to people: remember wash hands after petting animals.
