Lon: What’s this?

Abigail: It’s a memo1 about a safety inspection2 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 injuries this year and we’ve never had a fatality3. I don’t understand why you’re so worried.

Lon: From what I’ve heard, the inspectors4 don’t just look at injury rates. They look for the smallest hazard that may be remotely dangerous. If we get cited, we may be shut down.

Abigail: With all due respect, I don’t think that’s how it works. Yes, the inspector5 will look at our work environment and our gear and machinery6 to make sure there are no hazards or toxic7 substances.

Lon: That’s what I’m worried about.

Abigail: But, if they find a violation8, 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 standards.

Lon: I sure hope you’re right.

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