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.
