     2   Q.   Is that true for every piece of electrical equipment?
     3        A.  Well, we do not always have a spare whole fry station
     4        but there would be normally be spare like vats that you
     5        could use.  There is a spare steamer in each store.  It is
     6        normally two grills and unless it would be a very high
     7        capacity, you will not be using those all the time.  So,
     8        there is spare equipment.
     9
    10   Q.   So you would not always have a spare fry station?
    11        A.  You may not have a spare fry station but you will
    12        probably have a spare vat that you are not using at that
    13        moment in time.
    14
    15   Q.   So you would cook the fries in some other vat?
    16        A.  Most fry stations have three vats of which you probably
    17        use two or one-and-a-half most of the time except at peak
    18        times.
    19
    20   Q.   What would happen if it was the socket that was faulty and
    21        you were not able to use the equipment as a result of the
    22        socket being faulty?
    23        A.  Are you talking about a toaster socket or any socket?
    24
    25   Q.   The socket for any piece of equipment.
    26        A.  I guess if the equipment did not work, then an engineer
    27        would be called in.  There is normally a trouble shooting
    28        guide for each piece of equipment which is in the PMC
    29        manual.  You can go through and do some checks on it which
    30        are not dangerous; just to check that, you know, the plug
    31        is plugged in, that the trip switch has not gone off, check
    32        the basic and then you are instructed to call an engineer
    33        on major things like that.
    34
    35   Q.   While you were waiting for the engineer to come, if there
    36        was some product you were not able to serve, what would be
    37        the position then?  You would just carry on without that
    38        product or would someone try to sort it out?
    39        A.  Carry on without that product.
    40
    41   Q.   Can you just quickly look at page 262 of this document?
    42        A.  Would you like me to read the whole page?
    43
    44   Q.   I would like you to scan through the Fire, Health and
    45        Safety Class.  Perhaps you can tell me whether you can find
    46        anything about fixing electrical equipment or about
    47        running, for that matter?
    48        A.  I have looked through there and I cannot see a
    49        reference to not running and to not conducting electrical
    50        work. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Right.  So do you think that is something that has been 
    53        added since this or is the current guide the same?
    54        A.  It may have been added since this.  Certainly, the
    55        electrical training class for, electrical awareness class,
    56        for managers has been introduced three years ago or so.
    57
    58   Q.   That is just for managers?
    59        A.  But I think that, well, yes, that tells managers about
    60        it but also talks to them about their responsibilities and
