1 Q. Critical comment?
2 A. Corrective action. That is -- yes.
3
4 MR. MORRIS: These tests, if you look at the column on the left
5 of what was being tested, conditions, surfaces, hand wash
6 available, volume, adequacy, product, recondition -- I do
7 not know what that would mean -- toilets available, some of
8 those would be important hygienic considerations, would
9 they not?
10 A. Yes.
11
12 Q. They are not trivial matters -- I do not know about the
13 volume?
14 A. There are things that are more important to others,
15 obviously.

17 Q. If we move to the next one which is on 53, "Sanitation of

40

42 responsible for monitoring your process plants?
43 A. That is correct.
44
45 Q. They are saying they are not conforming with their
46 standards?
47 A. What they said, what this is saying is that they took
48 some corrective actions. It could have been that your
49 glove is not cleaned properly; it could mean that any
50 similar things like that, you forgot a glove here, you left
51 it on the floor or you dropped it on the floor, or it could
