Hygiene - Self Assessment

This self-assessment tool is designed to help individuals reflect on their knowledge and practices regarding hygiene. It prompts individuals to consider whether they can identify microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, that are known to cause illness. Understanding which organisms are responsible for sickness is the first step towards maintaining good health and preventing the spread of infections.

The assessment also encourages individuals to think about the various ways to maintain cleanliness and practice good hygiene. This includes habits such as regular handwashing, using sanitiser, keeping living spaces clean, and safely preparing food. Moreover, the tool asks individuals to articulate the reasons why maintaining good hygiene is crucial. This encompasses not only personal health benefits but also the wider community's well-being, as good hygiene practices can significantly reduce the transmission of diseases. Feedback from a teacher or a mentor can provide additional insights and guidance on how to improve one's hygiene practices.
