参考答案：
During the third quarter and the second half of this year, we will encounter a series of new conditions, problems and challenges on work safety.
First, as the national economy stabilizes and recovers, market demand for energy and other raw materials, transport services, etc. will increase, making safety supervision more challenging than ever.
Second, a lot of newly built, renovated and expanded projects, funded by the central and local governments in an effort to boost domestic consumption and drive economic growth, will collectively enter the phase of start of construction or commissioning, creating an arduous task on synchronizing the design, construction and commissioning of the safety facilities with the principal parts of the projects, as well as on construction safety supervision.
Third, as the main flood period arrives, extreme weathers like rainstorms, hurricanes and high temperature will increase, exposing workplaces to potential threats of natural disasters like floods, mud-and-rock flows and mountain landslides. Fourth, during the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital city and other regions will host a series of large-scale celebration events, giving rise to a very difficult task on work safety supervision over public gathering places and the production, transportation and firing of fireworks.
