HR: As a reasonably large company, we are required to produce a written health and safety policy.

CP: Have you got a draft for me to look at?

HR: No, we are stilling doing the risk assessment of the main office building.

CP; Well this is a brand new office facility-it must be one of the safest place to work in the whole Shanghai.

HR; Yes, but you’d be surprised to at all the ways that people can find to hurt themselves!

CP: I know. So what about insurance? Where are we with that?

HR: Well our foreign employees will be covered by their own insurance.

CP: And what about the Chinese employees?

HR: We are going to have to take out company-wide cover for them-we are waiting for some quotes now.

CP: Won’t the insurance companies want to come and inspect the premises?

HR: Yes, they will want to come round before finalizing any fort of cover.

CP: We will just have to make sure that everything is completely satisfactory.

HR: The building manager has been making all the preparations. There shouldn’t be a problem.

CP: OK. I’d better give him a call after this and make sure he has everything under control.

HR: The other thing I want to discuss is the fires-aid programme we are planning to launch.

CP: Sounds like good idea-what do you have in mind?

HR: The plane is to have at least one qualified first-aider on every floor in the office building.

CP: So are we going to have to offer training if we don’t have enough qualified people?

HR: Yes, but it doesn’t cost very much to get people trained.

CP: Great. Hopefully we’ll get plenty of volunteers then.
