Warm-Up 3 is all about turning informal, spoken language into formal, written language. The prompt is the kind of thing a health-and-safety officer might say when she's on a site visit, but the written version of her recommendations will use different grammatical structures and different words … because it's written and formal, not spoken and informal.
Remember that you've only got FIVE sentences to produce - you don't need to write the entire report.
The podcast relating to this task and Send-In 3 has just been published too.

At a worksite the workers have to wear proper work boots, with reinforced soles and toecaps, without these boots workers are not allowed at the worksite.
Hardhats are mandatory at worksites which mean no one without an approved safety hat is allowed to enter the worksite.
When building above ground level there are strict regulations about the use of fences and safety barriers to prevent personal injuries.
Tools and engines not allowed being in use if the test certificates have expired, therefore three diggers and a dumper truck are not allowed to use until they have been properly tested.
