對(duì)話(huà)：職業(yè)健康和安全
Before Occupational Health and Safety laws, most companies paid little attention to the health and safety of their staff. The laws punish companies severely if an employee hurts themselves at work if the company did not do everything they could to make the workplace safe.
在沒(méi)有職業(yè)健康和安全法以前，很多公司對(duì)員工的健康和安全都不是很重視。如果公司沒(méi)有盡力保證工作場(chǎng)所的安全，員工因公受傷時(shí)，職業(yè)健康和安全法就會(huì)給公司嚴(yán)重的懲罰。
OH&S is a responsibility of the HR department. The HR department should have a written OH&S policy that all staff should be told about when they join the company.
職業(yè)健康和安全是人力資源部門(mén)的責(zé)任。人力資源部應(yīng)該準(zhǔn)備一份書(shū)面的職業(yè)健康和安全政策，所有職員在加入公司時(shí)都應(yīng)該被告之。
If you work with computers, you should rest your eyes and hands for at least five minutes each hour. If you don’t, you could damage your eyes and develop a problem called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in your wrists.
如果你工作時(shí)使用電腦，應(yīng)該每小時(shí)讓眼睛和手休息至少五分鐘。不這樣的'話(huà)你的眼睛就會(huì)受到損害，而且手腕可能患上腕關(guān)節(jié)綜合癥。
For people who have to lift heavy things, the company should show you how to lift properly so that you don’t injure your back. Pay close attention to OH&S policies to protect yourself from serious injury at work.
對(duì)于那些必須抬重物的人，公司應(yīng)該告訴他們抬重物的正確方法以防止損傷背部。密切關(guān)注職業(yè)健康和安全法以防自己在工作時(shí)受重傷。
OH&S also involves having a comfortable chair and proper desk to work at as well as having a good keyboard if you do a lot of typing.
職業(yè)健康和安全還涉及到工作時(shí)要有一把舒服的椅子和一張合適的桌子，如果打字很多的話(huà)還要有一個(gè)好的鍵盤(pán)。
Remember, work is important, but your health is even more important!
記住，工作固然重要，但是你的健康更重要！
Dialogue （對(duì)話(huà)）
Beth: Sally, will you check these new OH&S posters for me before I put them up?
Sally: Of course I will. You know that I love teamwork!
Beth: I think that OH&S is so important that I have made some posters for the office walls to remind people to take a break every hour.
Sally: That’s a great idea Beth. I wish that I had thought of it!
Beth: I got the idea because I often get a headache from staring at my computer for too long.
Sally: And you think that taking a short break every hour can help?
Beth: I know it can. If I get up and have a short break every hour, I feel better and am more efficient.
Sally: Well you have taught me something new today. I will try to put your ideas into practice.
Beth: We can take our breaks together and practice English while we relax.
Sally: That’s the best idea I have heard today!
貝斯：莎莉，在我把這些新OH&S海報(bào)掛上之前，你能幫我檢查一下嗎？
莎莉：當(dāng)然可以，你知道我喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)工作！
貝斯：我覺(jué)得職業(yè)健康和安全太重要了，所以準(zhǔn)備了一些海報(bào)掛在辦公室墻上提醒大家每隔一小時(shí)休息一下。
莎莉；這個(gè)主意很好，貝斯，真希望是我想到的。
貝斯：我想到這個(gè)主意是因?yàn)槲医?jīng)常因看電腦時(shí)間太長(zhǎng)而頭疼。
莎莉：你認(rèn)為每小時(shí)休息一會(huì)兒會(huì)有幫助是嗎？
貝斯：我知道會(huì)的。如果每小時(shí)站起來(lái)休息一會(huì)兒，我就會(huì)覺(jué)得好多了，工作效率也更高。
莎莉：今天你教了我一些新東西。我會(huì)試著照你的話(huà)做。
貝斯：我們可以一起休息，休息時(shí)一起練英語(yǔ)。
莎莉：這是我今天聽(tīng)到的最好的主意！
