Day 086 - 09 Feb 95 - Page 36
1 was at 350 degrees. So that is actually calibrating it
2 rather than checking the dials which we done, would have
3 been done on a shift by shift basis. That has not changed
4 either; we still do the calibration check as per this
5 calendar twice per month to check the calibration of the
6 grill is correct.
7
8 Q. But you do not know where we can find the calibration where
9 you actually check the temperature?
10 A. I can -- I do not know if you have it here but maybe
11 you could refer to the planned maintenance cards or planned
12 maintenance cards for that type of grill?
13
14 Q. We will do that then.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Have you another topic and then perhaps we
17 could see about that? Can you just look in C, page 170?
18 A. Yes.
19
20 Q. Is it that sort of thing or not?
21 A. No. What I was -- since we do not have any gas grills
22 in the system, we do not have to do the check any further.
23 What I was referring to was to try to clarify the process
24 any further, was that on the planned maintenance calendar
25 each check refers to a card. So, if we could find the old
26 card 11, then that would detail and clarify what each check
27 referred to.
28
29 Q. Leave it there for the moment. It would have to be the
30 specific card which was in use at that time in restaurants
31 which were using the old gas ---
32 A. That is correct.
33
34 Q. -- stove or plate?
35 A. Yes.
36
37 Q. You would have to be quite specific about the card in order
38 to get useful information on it?
39 A. Yes, we would have to get that one. But, as with all
40 the equipment, it was again a custom made piece of
41 equipment for us, and those procedures were established to
42 verify that it was working to that level of performance.
43
44 MS. STEEL: At any rate, these grills have been done away with
45 now so that you have an easier system for people to follow?
46 A. I think that they were just retired after their useful
47 life. A grill would have between eight and 10 years on it,
48 and then would need to be replaced. They have just been
49 replaced as they came to the end of their life. During
50 that period of time the model in technologies have come
51 forward and we have found that electric grills and
52 clamshell grills have a lot of benefits for us. So, they
53 were just phased out over time.
54
55 Q. Clamshell grills, the bringing in of them, was speeded up,
56 was it not, after the Preston incident?
57 A. I think we saw something yesterday that suggested that
58 it was.
59
60 Q. Yes. But easier to use?
