Analysis of research concept
Literature searching
Search Terms: Search terms are a very precarious measure for any kind of literature. They
are some short catchphrases, terms which helps in searching the appropriate objects for a
research. The terms totally depend on the objectives of the research that will be performed
(Littlewood and Kloukos 2019). The search terms used for the assignment are workplace,
occupational health, safety, workplace ethics, issues and challenges.
