Which of the following is included in the actions to achieve the objects of the Act?

• A. Mandatory retirement of old staff
• B. Health assessments of workers
• C. Tax audits
• D. Annual maintenance checks

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that the Act uses medical surveillance and health monitoring as a way to meet its safety and health protections for workers. Health assessments of workers are included because they help identify early signs of occupational illness and determine if a worker is fit for a task, which supports timely intervention and control of hazards like dust, noise, or chemicals. This direct link to protecting and safeguarding worker health is why health assessments are included among the actions to achieve the Act’s objects.

The other options don’t fit as part of that health-focused approach. Mandatory retirement of old staff is an employment policy not tied to achieving health and safety objectives under this Act. Tax audits are outside the scope of workplace health and safety regulation. Annual maintenance checks relate to plant and equipment safety, which is important, but the question targets actions directly connected to protecting worker health, making health assessments the more relevant mechanism in this context.
