Yes, you're on the right tack with your response! However you need to add more info to your response in order to complete the question. The best way to do this is search each of the terms in Google. You would be able to find the answers to help there itself.

Hello Lorina and Bub21,
I am currently on the same assignment, I was wondering how you got on with question four.....the table? I am a little unsure and confused, thank you
4. Complete the following table that identifies some common safety scenarios in early childhood education and care services. For each scenario, identify the possible hazard/WHS issue and provide a solution.

Scenario Identified hazard / WHS issue Solution
A worker falls

Increase in staff sick days

Back injury

Scalding

Outbreak of gastroenteritis
