It\u2019s no defence to say that it was past sunset but not yet dark. The legal lighting obligations for cyclists are determined by sunset and sunrise times \u2013 not the hours of darkness which starts 30 minutes after the former end 30 minutes before the latter and dictate when motorists must switch from sidelights to headlights.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cycling UK\u2019s guide to cycling regulations explains the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations in detail but in summary you need a white light at the front and a red light at the rear visible from the front and rear respectively and fixed to your bike. A light obscured by a saddlebag isn\u2019t legal and neither is a torch on your head though there\u2019s nothing to stop you using a head-torch as an additional light.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The regulations also now allow flashing lights provided they flash between 60 and 240 times per minute. The legal requirements for reflectors include a red rear reflector and four amber pedal reflectors one at the front and rear of each pedal. Common sense might suggest that a reflective heel stripe or ankle band could replace an amber pedal reflector but unfortunately thee do not meet the legal requirements. This is an annoying problem for riders who use bikes where the feel are attached to the pedals and cannot slip. These pedals are not designed with enough space to accommodate reflectors and make this an area of legislation in need to change.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unlike with other vehicles lights are not a legal requirement for cyclists when there is seriously reduced visibility during the daytime although we would not recommend cycling through dense fog without lighting up.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Questions 6-14<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage above.

It should be stable and positioned so that it\u2019s comfortable when an employee uses a document holder but also big enough to let the user work comfortably and to alter their position.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The working environment<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You need to assess noise levels. The equipment should not be so noisy that it distracts the user. If you cannot use quieter equipment consider soundproofing or moving the equipment. You could use partitions between noisy equipment and the rest of the workstation as an alternative.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lighting is also an important consideration. Surrounding windows must have curtains or blinds which users can adjust to prevent reflected glare. If needed provide users with lighting appropriate to their tasks and particular workstation. Users should have control over their lighting to prevent reflected glare.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Temperature wise the equipment should not give out so much heat that the user becomes uncomfortable so monitor this. It\u2019s also important that you maintain ventilation and you control humidity so that it is at a level which keeps the user comfortable.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Task design and rest breaks<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Good design of the task can be as important as the right choice of furniture and equipment. Whenever possible you should design jobs so that employees have a mix of activities and some control over which tasks they perform and when. You should match staffing levels to workload so that individuals are neither overworked nor underworked and give employees some say in the way is carried out and the planning that goes into it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">An employee\u2019s need for rest breaks will vary depending on the type of work they are doing and how intensely they are working. As a general rule however short, frequent breaks are better than longer, less frequent ones. A 5-10 minutes break after 50-60 minutes work is better than 15-20 minute break after two hours. The employee should at times have a choice over when to take breaks and they should be encouraged to do non-work activities during their break ideally away from the workstation.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Questions 15-20<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Complete the notes below.

Detailed visual inspections should be carried out on a regular basis, and they should have an up to date record of these. Before starting a job employers are also responsible for ensuring any ladder is the right length to meet the needs of the task reaching out from the very top of a ladder is highly dangerous. Once you get a ladder you as a user of the ladder should conduct a pre use check each working day. Conducting pre use checks should have been part of your training and should be done in accordance with the manufacturer\u2019s guidelines. When doing a check it is important to focus on the steps and make sure they are not loose as this could cause an accident. Similarly a cracked joint in the ladder could cause it to fail.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Almost all falls from ladders happen because the ladder moves unexpectedly. The key factor in preventing falls from ladders is to ensure your ladder is stable whilst being used. First make sure that you choose level ground on which to set up you ladder. There are specially designed tools you can use to ensure this \u2013 don\u2019t just use a piece of wood. Second check the ground surface is dirt free and solid so the feet can grip and the ladder doesn\u2019t sink.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before you go up your ladder look at the surrounding environment, Make sure the ladder cannot be struck by vehicles. If necessary safeguard the area by placing red and white cones around it. Ensure it will not be pushed over by other hazards such as opening doors. Doors and windows may need to be secured where possible. Finally think about the hazards to the general public and make sure they cannot walk underneath it or get too near to it. A danger sign at the base is often the best way of doing this.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To secure the ladder tie it to a suitable point such as a window or railing making sure both sides are attached. Where this is not practical secure it to the wall near the base of the ladder with ties; avoid using blocks to wedge the ladder in place as they can easily move.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Questions 21-27<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Complete the sentences below.

Forbury accomplished this fabulous feat by sailing over crossbar head first and backward. As colorfully described that day by the Los Angeles Times, \u201cFosbury goes over the bar like a guy being pushed out of a 30 storey window.\u2019<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B.<\/strong> At first when asked about how this unorthodox manoeuvre originated, Fosbury would joke with sportswriters, informing some that because of this university background in physics and engineering he had initially designed the Flop on paper and telling others that he had accidentally discovered this technique when he once tripped and fell backward on his take off. However in later interviews Fosbury revealed that the technique actually unfolded over many years and involved countless trials and errors. \u201cIt was simply a natural technique that evolved.\u201d He said, \u201cI never thought about how to change it and I am sure my coach was going crazy because it kept evolving. I didn\u2019t know anyone else in the world would be able to use it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C.<\/strong> Fosbury explained that when he first learned to high jump at the age of 10 or 11, he tried jumping with the scissors style. He said, \u201c I used that style until I went into high school where my coach explained that I was never going to get anywhere with that technique. He started me with the belly roll technique. However I was really lousy with that style. I expressed my frustration to coach and he said that if I really wanted I could still use the scissors.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So in his next competition, Fosbury went back to the scissors style. He explained, \u201cAs the bar was raised each time, I began to lift my hips up and my shoulders went back in reaction to that. At the end of the competition I had improved my best by 15 cm to 1 m 78 and even placed third. The next two years in high school with my curved approach I began to lead with my shoulder and eventually was going over head first like today\u2019s Floppers.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>D.<\/strong> In this way, the Flop evolved, not from design, but from a trial and error process which combined repeated effort with the biomechanics of Fosbury\u2019s gangling 1 m 93 physique. Sports Illustrated writer Richard Hoffer wrote, \u201dIt was on-site engineering his body and mind working together making reflexive adjustment with only one goal getting over the bar. Hoffer explained that although Fosbury\u2019s arms and legs seemed to be all over the place, those movements that served to get him a centimeter higher were retained, while the others were gradually eliminated as the technique evolved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>E.<\/strong> What did Fosbury think of the seeming awkwardness of his Flop? \u201cI believe that the Flop was a natural style,\u201d he said, \u201cAnd I was just the first to find it. I can say that because the Canadian jumper Debbie Brill was a few years younger than I was and also developed the same technique only a few years after me and without ever having seen me.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A striking coincidence? Yes indeed. But perhaps not as striking as the fact that a high school student called Bruce Quande was photographed on May 24, 1963 flopping backward over the crossbar. This was the same month that Fosbury recalls having flopped for the first time in the competition when he was at high school.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>F.<\/strong> But completing the Flop successfully was only half the battle the return to earth still had to be negotiated. Few would even consider such an experiment knowing they had have to land on their necks. When Fosbury was jumping in high school he had to land in pits which were filled with wood chips, sawdust or sand. On one occasion Fosbury hit his head on the wooden border or the pit. Another time he landed totally out of the pit, flat on his back knocking the wind out of him. The next year Fosbury\u2019s high school became the first in the region to install foam rubber in its high jump pit thereby cushioning the jumper\u2019s fall and encouraging the use of the potentially dangerous Flop. The Fosbury Flop and cushioned landing areas thus appear to have co-evolved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>G.<\/strong> Fosbury explains how he came to name the Flop. \u201cI am very proud that I received the naming rights. But the term by which the style is known did not appear overnight. To tell the truth the first time was that I was interviewed and asked \u2018What do you call this?\u2019 I used my engineering analytical side and I referred to it as a back lay out.\u2019 It was not interesting and the journalist didn\u2019t even write it down. I noted this. The next time that I was interviewed that\u2019s when I said: \u2018Well at home in my town they call it the Fosbury Flop\u2019 \u2013 and everyone wrote it down. I was the first time to call it that but it came from a caption on a newspaper photo that said: \u201cFosbury flops over bar.\u2019 The context was that our town was on a river, very popular for fishing an hour from the Pacific Ocean. And when you land a fish on the bank it\u2019s flopping. That\u2019s the action and so it\u2019s a good description by a journalist and I remembered it.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 28-32<\/strong>.
