Abstract

At Victory TV, it is the first day of a new production, which is about the countryside and headquartered on a farm. The production team of 15 has been called to a meeting with the head of the production, Gudrun, to discuss what they’d be doing. Gudrun has called in the Victory health and safety officer to give a briefing on farm safety. The officer goes over some basics, then begins to talk, for any staff who might be pregnant, about some specific rules around pregnancy on farms.
