Day 127 - 23 May 95 - Page 14
1 A. Pretty much as it is now. The restaurants that
2 I worked in varied from quite busy to quite quiet, and
3 I can hardly ever remember there being an accident,
4 although I remember suffering a couple of burns and small
5 cuts myself.
6
7 Q. On your way up from Trainee Manager to Manager over the
8 course of those two years, did you yourself work at the
9 various stations in the restaurants?
10 A. I did, quite frequently, both during my training and
11 later on when I was managing the restaurants.
12
13 Q. Did you yourself suffer any injuries that you can remember?
14 A. As I say, just a couple of minor cuts and burns.
15
16 Q. Yes.
17 A. And that was fairly early on.
18
19 Q. Then I think in 1984 when McDonald's set up a Quality
20 Assurance Department you joined that department; is that
21 right?
22 A. I did.
23
24 Q. How long did you work there?
25 A. I worked in Quality Assurance for almost five years.
26
27 Q. As a Quality Assurance supervisor?
28 A. That is correct.
29
30 Q. What happened at the end of that five years in the Quality
31 Assurance Department?
32 A. I had my first baby then and worked part-time for a
33 little while and then we moved to the Midlands, so that is
34 how come I went to work out of the Midlands office.
35
36 Q. Did you get some maternity leave?
37 A. I did have maternity leave and I went back part-time
38 afterwards for a while as well.
39
40 Q. So what was the date when you returned to McDonald's,
41 roughly speaking?
42 A. After my maternity leave?
43
44 Q. Yes.
45 A. I think it was December 1989.
46
47 Q. When did you rejoin the Company full-time?
48 A. That would be July 1991.
49
50 Q. And what was your position when you rejoined full-time in
51 July 1990?
52 A. It was Hygiene and Safety Officer.
53
54 Q. Had you had a predecessor in that post?
55 A. No, I had not.
56
57 Q. What had been -- again keep it as brief as possible, but we
58 would like to know the broad structure of it -- when you
59 were appointed Hygiene and Safety Officer -- I will ask you
60 about the responsibilities you were given in a moment --
