6 Sample answers:
41/42 Yesterday our warehouse supervisor fell of a ladder and seriously injured his back.
43/44 He was trying to get some stock form the top rack when the ladder he was on wobbled
and slipped, causing the supervisor to fall.
45/46 I immediately rushed to him, contacting our first aid representative and calling for an
ambulance.
47/48 I noticed that the ladder had not been locked correctly, which was why it wobbled and
slipped. Furthermore there was no one at the bottom of the ladder.
49/50 I suggest that the company review its staff training policy especially in regard to health
and safety issues and ensure that all current staff are given immediate retraining.
