ESL Podcast 1156 – Unsafe Factory Conditions 

Kathy Lee: You won’t find any problems in your inspection1 of our factory. 

Rashed: I’m glad to hear that. Where do these stairs lead? 

Kathy Lee: It’s just a level for storage. You don’t need to see that. 

Rashed: I need to inspect every part of this factory. Please step aside. 

Kathy Lee: If you insist. 

Rashed: You have people working on this floor and it’s not structurally2 sound, and certainly not intended for heavy manufacturing. This attic3 was never meant for industrial use. 

Kathy Lee: It’s only temporary… 

Rashed: There are no fire escapes, fire extinguishers, or emergency exits. 

Kathy Lee: Well, I… 

Rashed: None of the workers are wearing protective clothing and I see signs of child labor4. 

Kathy Lee: No, no, no, I wouldn’t hire anyone underage. 

Rashed: I am ordering an immediate5 shutdown of this factory due to flagrant violations6 of building code and labor laws. 

Kathy Lee: But you can’t do that! We have orders to fill. 

Rashed: Not when this building is in danger of imminent7 collapse8. 

Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
