Day 105 - 16 Mar 95 - Page 43


     
     1        weights, whether it be a note to talk to the cleaners, they
     2        will put it on a scrap piece of paper, perhaps, or they may
     3        fill the form in in some circumstances.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  So if we look at page 16?
     6        A.  Yes.
     7
     8   Q.   This is one of the ones where every box has been ticked,
     9        even ones that had a heading?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   In fact, the first heading had not been ticked but the rest
    13        had, and then on page 21 the whole thing.  Is this
    14        something that might be filled in at the end of the day as
    15        well?
    16        A.  In fact, this has been slightly altered since to add
    17        some more information but, in the case of boning room, the
    18        supervisor does keep the forms in his department wrapped in
    19        a piece of plastic.  He is saying there that during the day
    20        he has checked his product for those things.  There is no
    21        specific time limit because he checks everything.  It is up
    22        to him to make sure that the quarters that he receives are
    23        free of the contaminants and other non-specification items
    24        on that list.  So, it would be quite feasible for him to
    25        complete that at the end of the day.
    26
    27   Q.   Just to say he has checked those?
    28        A.  Yes.
    29
    30   Q.   The fact that he has found them, or has not found them is
    31        not relevant; the question is whether he has checked?
    32        A.  Yes, if he has found defects which he considers need
    33        action, for example, a constant succession of badly dressed
    34        quarters which have a lot of blood clots, or there is
    35        significant faecal contamination, he would note that fact.
    36        I must say that would be very unusual, but he is saying
    37        that he has checked all his intake and verifying that.
    38
    39   Q.   So it is not an indication there were not any blood clots,
    40        or faecal contamination, or rust specks?
    41        A.  No, it is an indication he has checked and found
    42        nothing untoward.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is a box for defects noted underneath
    45        the table of visible contaminants.  What you are saying is
    46        the tick shows he has checked?
    47        A.  Yes.
    48
    49   Q.   There is obviously more room than for just a tick in the
    50        box where the tick appears? 
    51        A.  Yes. 
    52 
    53   Q.   There is space there if one wanted to write something in
    54        and there is a defects noted space as well?
    55        A.  Yes.
    56
    57   Q.   An action taken notice?
    58        A.  Indeed.
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  They would only do that if it was above the normal
