The document outlines the task of creating a timeline to display the history of occupational health and safety laws from ancient times to modern Australian regulations. It provides evaluation criteria for the timeline, including requirements to cover early OHS laws before the Common Era, developments in the UK during the industrial revolution, and the formation of international and national regulatory bodies. The timeline must also address the recent harmonization of Australia's work health and safety laws and include both in-text and end references presented in ECU referencing style. Professional presentation with images and formatting is expected, with the timeline conveying key events and milestones in the development of OHS laws over time.

displays and explains the history of occupational health and safety laws. You should
commence from the earliest known records of OHS laws from before the Common Era,
through to the early UK history and the industrial revolution, and finish at the modern
Australian work health and safety laws and harmonisation.Layout:You may present your
timeline in any way you wish as long as it meets the evaluation criteria shown in the
marking rubric (see below). Note that marks are awarded for the quality and
professionalism of your assignment, so consider using images, photos, and other items to
make your timeline presentable.Note that as a timeline, you are not expected to provide lots
of text (as with an essay), but rather use headings, short sentences and images/photos to
convey your message. If you are unsure of what a timeline should look like, please utilise
Blackboard to ask questions and discuss with your fellow students. (You may also like to do
an internet search on timelines to view other examples.)Also note that your timeline must
include in-text references (ie on the timeline) as well as an end-text referencing
list.Evaluation Criteria:resentation and Creativity (5 marks)? _Your assignment should be of
professional industry standard (ie suitable for use in a workplace setting), with efforts
made to make it engaging to your target audience.? _Your assignment must include an ECU
Cover Page, Title Page and Reference List as a minimum.Content (10 marks)Your timeline
should include:? _The ancient (ie BCE) and early UK history of Occupational Health and
Safety Laws.? _Significant historical events and industrial disasters that helped to shape
current laws.? _The formation of various international and national bodies (eg WHO, ILO,
OSHA etc.) and the historical events that lead to their formation.? _The history of Australia’s
Work Health and Safety laws, including the recent harmonisation process.Referencing (5
marks)? _Your assignment must include in-text citations as well as an end-text Reference
List.? _Referencing style must meet ECU’s standards and policies or marks will be deducted.
Please follow the ECU Referencing Guide strictly. This includes referencing of Acts,
Regulations and other legal documents.A marking rubric is available on Blackbooard >
Assessments > Assessment One, and outlines how marks are allocated. It is recommended
that you download this rubric and refer to it when completing your assignment.
