Security regulations

A：Lucy, I’d like to fix the light in the corridor, it keeps flashing, which drives me crazy. Would you like to help me with the ladder?

B：Monica, wait a moment. I think we’d better call the repair man to do it.

A：I think I can handle it by myself.

B：I’d like you to have a look at the safety manual of our company.

A：I see. If I got hurt when fixing the light, even during office hours, I wouldn’t get compensation from our company since repairing is not my responsibility.

B：Other company rules also need your attention.

A：Like this one?

B：Never wear loose clothes or hair when operating the shredder.

A：Yeah, thank you for telling me.

B：Don’t mention it.

安全規定

A：Lucy，我想修一下走廊的燈，它總是在閃啊閃的，很煩人。你能不能幫我扶一下梯子?

B：Monica，等一下。我覺得我們還是找個修理工過來比較好。

A：我可以自己修好的。

B：我覺得你還是看看公司的安全手冊比較好。

A：我知道了。如果我因為修燈受傷了，就算我是在工作時間，也不會得到賠償的，因為修理并不是我的工作指責所在。

B：其他的公司制度也要了解一下。

A：像這樣的?

B：在用碎紙機的時候，要注意不要穿寬松的衣褲，或者是耷拉著頭發。

A：好的，謝謝你。

B：不用客氣。
