Task 1:

Listen to this link  and then fill in the blanks with the missing words as you listen to the audio.

Lon: What’s this? 

Abigail: It’s a memo about a safety inspection scheduled for next week. 

Lon: A safety inspection? How are we ever going to pass a safety inspection? 

Abigail: What do you mean? This isn't an unsafe workplace. We've had a good record. None of our employees have had on the job. Injury this year and we’ve never had a fatality I don’t understand why you’re so worried.

Lon: From what I've heard, the inspectors don’t just look at injury rates. They look for the smallest as hazard that may be remotely dangerous If we get cited, we may be …shut down.

Abigail: With all do respect, I don’t think that’s how it works. Yes, the inspector will look at our work environment and our gear and machinery to make sure there are no hazards or toxic substances. 

Lon: That’s what I’m worried about. 

Abigail: But, if they find a violation, we’ll get a chance to fix the problem. They won’t shut us down without giving us a chance to comply with their safety standard.

Lon: I sure hope you’re right. 

Abigail: Me, too. We’ll know after next week’s inspection. 

Task 2:
Check with your peers for the right answers.
