Select the correct option for each one below.

Individual Individual, Colleagues and Public
A. Baker with eczema
B. Pilot with angina
C. Fireman with aortic stenosis

Feedback

The baker with eczema would be a risk to himself. Flour may aggravate his eczema. There is no risk to his colleagues but there is a potential risk to the public if his eczema untreated.

A pilot with angina could be a risk to himself, colleagues and the public. He may have to consider alternative work.

A fireman with aortic stenosis could be a risk to all three groups. He also would be likely to have to consider alternative work.

A road digger with Raynaud's disease would be a risk to himself from the vibration of the digger, because it could make his symptoms worse.
