Day 105 - 16 Mar 95 - Page 45
1 typical of the documents, then it seems to be the standard
2 practice, not what you were saying before about what they
3 should be doing filling these in as they go along, but to
4 do it at the end of the day.

6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You said -----
7
8 MR. MORRIS: He said that would be the usual.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You started off: "A feature of these
11 documents, that quite a few of these documents seem to be
12 filled in all in one go". Why do you say that?
13
14 MR. MORRIS: I mean, for example, document 26, is another
15 example. That has been filled in one at a time as the
16 person did the check, that has been filled in all in one
17 go.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why do you say that?
20
21 MR. MORRIS: It is just obvious because the features have been
22 ----
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is not obvious to me. Just looking at the
25 document it might have been, whoever it was, a member of
26 Jarretts staff might have checked walls, floors and
27 everything else and then gone to the form and put his
28 initials on all of them, or he might have looked at the
29 walls and put his initials, looked at the floors and put
30 his initials. There is just no way of telling from the
31 form, is there?
32
33 MS. STEEL: Say, for example, page 12, the "steer" under the
34 "product", it weighs over to the right-hand side which is
35 something that you quite often see when people just go down
36 a line writing the same thing over and over again.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That may be so or it may not.
39
40 MS. STEEL: That is what we are putting.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can I say that I can see nothing sinister in
43 filling one of these forms in at the end of the day. Lots
44 of people fill in forms by putting on one bit of paper the
45 information they need to fill in the form and then filling
46 in the form. It may mean because it is neater, it may mean
47 that you do not get smudges of whatever you have got on
48 your hand on the form and so on. I have to tell you that
49 I cannot at the moment see anything sinister in doing it
50 that way if that is the way it is done.
51
52 MS. STEEL: They would have to have a pretty big bus ticket or
53 old ticket. You said they sometimes carry around and write
54 things on. They would have to have a pretty big, old ticket
55 to get all that information on it; would they not?
56 A. Could I stick to the particular papers that have been
57 mentioned on item 26, which is the cleaning check list? It
58 is entirely feasible for a man to carry out his cleaning
59 check, especially in a plant like Jarretts, which is, in
60 fact, very clean.
