with all due respect (恕我直言)
toxic substances（有毒物质）
to comply with/to obey a rule/law/regulation(遵守)
What's this?
It's a memo about a safety inspection scheduled for next week.
A safety inspection? How are we ever going to pass a safety inspection?
What do you mean? This isn't an unsafe workplace.We've had a good record.Noew of our employees have had on-the-job injuries the year and we've never had a fatality.I don't understand why you're so worried.
From what i've heard,the inspectors 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.
With all due respect, I don't think that's how it works.Yes,the inspector will look at our work environment and our gear and machinery to make sure there are no hazards or toxic substances.
That's what i'm worried about.
But,if they find a violation,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.
I sure hope you're right.
Me,too.We'll know after next week's inspection
