Review the following meanings and match the words with the appropriate concept related to some
Osha list of Hazards and description.
Now review What risks do you take? conversation, read through it closely and answer the
questions taking into account the reading.
Four first year students are gathered around a table. They have only just started college and are
trying to get to know one another. Jack is studying Physics and thinks he knows it all. He met Heidi
(who is studying Media Studies) when she turned up at Climbing Club to see what it was like. Jack
reckons he is a pretty good climber and so offered to ‘show Heidi the ropes’. Laila is a mathematician
and the final member of the group is Liam, a mechanical engineer whose only interests seem to be
powerful bikes and war gaming. Perhaps surprisingly, Liam has asked Laila out three times so far –
Laila has unsurprisingly refused on each occasion.
-Jack: So, at the top of the climb we just sat down, took off the climbing gear and had a smoke.
-Heidi: (sarcastically) You must have looked cool.
-Jack: Certainly did, and when we got back down we had a few drinks in the bar – can’t remember
much of the next day.
-Laila: Aren’t you worried about the damage to your health of all that smoking and drinking?
-Jack: Who are you, my mum? Look, the risk in climbing is much bigger than anything else so I may
as well smoke or drink as much as I like. I suppose you’re also going to tell me that the rock face I
climbed was only ten miles from Sella field so I might get irradiated.
-Laila: You were getting irradiated at a small level – it is just whether you think the risk is worth it.
-Jack: Look, the Chernobyl accident will only cause fifty or so deaths in Britain over the next few
decades. The risk due to nuclear power is tiny.
-Liam: I know all about risk – I have to calculate it all the time in gaming.
-Heidi: (sarcastically) Yeah, just how risky is fighting an orc armed with a scimitar?
-Liam: Very funny. For your information, my orcs don’t use scimitars, they use straight blades.
-Laila: What about your bike? Riding one of those things is dangerous.
-Liam: I live life on the edge – why don’t you come to the edge with me one day, Laila?
-Laila: I don’t think I had better – the ‘risk’ of me jumping off to get away from you would be too great.
-Jack: You are more at risk from death by an asteroid than from death in a plane.
-Liam: Yeah, you’re going to tell me that breathing is dangerous.
-Heidi: Well it is if you are breathing in radon, which we all are to a greater or lesser extent. The
concentration is rather greater in Cornwall. Radon kills.
-Jack: No it doesn’t – radon is a gas, breathe it in and you breathe it out. The danger comes from the
daughter products, which are solids.
-Heidi: Mobile phones are meant to be risky too. That’s because they work by radiation. Just like
nuclear bombs.
-Laila: I don’t think that is quite right, Heidi.
-Jack: Another drink anyone? It is your round Liam.
-Laila: And drinking, of course, dead risky.
-Heidi: And power lines
-Laila: And road travel, air travel and rail travel. All risky.
-Jack: As I say, if you’re a climber the other risks are much less and just don’t matter.
-Liam: I’ll get the drinks.
1. Lists the risks mentioned in the dialogue. Divide these into voluntary risks and involuntary
risks.
2. Put the voluntary risks in order of your opinion of increasing risk.
3. Now use your book or websites to attempt to produce an objective list of increasing risks. Why
is this difficult?
4. Why does Jack show a poor understanding of risk when he says:
“Look, the risk in climbing is much bigger than anything else so I may as well smoke or drink as
much as I like.”
5. Why is Heidi confused when she equates mobile phones with radioactivity?
6. Why might Jack say that: “you are more at risk from death by an asteroid than from death in a
plane”?
7. How would you try to persuade people that nuclear power is relatively risk-free?
8. How would you try to persuade people that nuclear power is an unacceptable risk?
