Should I go more in depth? Go more in depth in the slides or it be done in verbal explanation?
For the express class you can do it verbally. The NA class don’t need to unless they express active interest in this.

Should I least down the examples of physical and mental health or it can be covered verbally. Verbally is fine.
Should I separate the 2 points into 2 slides? Combined is ok. We normally only separate and go into details if this is something you feel is integral to the topic.
Physical – fatigue due to long travelling hours, loss of concentration – accidents, pollution from exhaust – health concerns like asthma & lung disease
Mental – stress & frustration – accidents / fights
