Day 085 - 08 Feb 95 - Page 38
1 was referring to 1992.
2
3 Q. This was what?
4 A. This was referring to 1992. One of the things again
5 that the department did was to make this a little bit
6 easier to fill in and more relevant, is that we transposed
7 the information that is on the calendar on to the rear side
8 of each sheet of the daily product safety check list. So
9 that in the restaurants they just had one book that they
10 had with the calibrations, sorry, with the temperature
11 checks that they had to do on daily basis. If they flicked
12 over, then they had the calibration checks that they need
13 to do on a daily basis. So, it is in that black book that
14 we looked at the other day, every second page or every flip
15 side. So, page 1 will have your 70 degrees Centrigade on
16 your meat that you checked off and on the rear will be a
17 list of five tasks that you have to do on a planned
18 maintenance basis on that specific day.
19
20 Q. So the black book replaces this?
21 A. Yes.
22
23 Q. It does?
24 A. Yes.
25
26 Q. How long have the calendars been in operation?
27 A. For as long as I can remember in McDonald's.
28
29 Q. Where were they kept when they were in use?
30 A. They were normally hung up in the manager's area or at
31 the rear of the kitchen.
32
33 Q. So it would be up to the manager to fill it all in?
34 A. It would be the manager's responsibility, but there
35 was, it was delegated to various shifts, afternoon, evening
36 or breakfast. So, one of the tasks of the manager when he
37 came on to shift and was organising his duties would refer
38 to the calendar to see which planned maintenance task
39 needed doing. It was his responsibility to fill it in or
40 actually conduct them and fill it in.
41
42 Q. Under "opening" on page 80, first you have got: "Verified
43 condition of the shake parts", what does that mean? Is
44 that cleaning?
45 A. The shake machine, as I mentioned earlier, would have
46 been clean and sanitized the night before and then left
47 disassembled for the person in the morning to reassemble.
48 That is just to verify that the shake parts are clean and
49 that they are intact, that there is no chips or damaged
50 seals or anything in there.
51
52 Q. Then No. 2 you have: "Reschedule previous maintenance
53 tasks that were not completed"?
54 A. That is correct.
55
56 Q. So does that mean that if, say, you run out of time on the
57 Monday you can leave things until the Tuesday?
58 A. It is a safety guard. You know, we would love everyone
59 to complete every task on every shift but, occasionally, it
60 will not happen. As a safety guard for that, we instruct
