6. None of the above. X

Answer 1

Answer: 5. 2 and 3

Reason:

Statement 1 is wrong because the Responsible person (who can be any employee, supervisor or any person working in the industry) needs to have specific training in the recognition of potential ill-health of workers.

Statement 2 is correct because the Responsible person is the one who makes the diagnosis of the worker in the absence of an Occupational Health doctor or nurse.

Statement 3 is also correct because if the worker displays any evidence of ill-health or any complicated problems, then they should be referred to the Occupational Health doctor, nurse, or other Healthcare professional.

Statement 4 is wrong because Occupational Health doctors and nurses are not the examples of Responsible Persons, but the Responsible person is any employee representative working or the supervisor who has undergone some basic training regarding the possible ill-health causes and their diagnosis.

Hence Statement 5 will be the answer because both 2 and 3 are correct. (Answer)

Statement 6 is wrong because statements 2 and 3 are correct.
