Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 54


     
     1   Q.   So, if they were a green badge for five to six weeks, that
     2        would mean that they had not had their probationary review?
     3        A.  Yes.
     4
     5   Q.   It was just something I wanted to clear up.  Are you aware
     6        of complaints in the rap sessions about health and safety
     7        not being taken seriously, the Accident Book being
     8        unavailable, the First Aid box not being well stocked?
     9        A.  I am not aware of those comments, but if you show me
    10        them -----
    11
    12   Q.   Right.  I can do, but do you remember crew making those
    13        kind of complaints?
    14        A.  No.
    15
    16   Q.   You do not?  If you turn to page 191, which again is the
    17        rap session of 16th January 1992, and under "filtering and
    18        safety" -- actually, it may be quite hard to read this.
    19        The second paragraph says: "First Aid box keeps running out
    20        of things such as plasters.  Accident Book only filled in
    21        if someone makes a fuss."  Does that refresh your memory?
    22        A.  No.
    23
    24   Q.   If you look at page 200, which is a rap session of
    25        29th June 1992 -----
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you read line 1 again because, again, it
    28        is very, very faint.
    29
    30   MS. STEEL:   OK.  The second paragraph of "filtering and safety"
    31        says: "First Aid box keeps running out of things such as
    32        plasters".
    33        A.  Sorry, what page, 200?
    34
    35   Q.   Page 191.  Sorry, the judge wanted to go back.  If you just
    36        pause for a minute. (Pause)
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    39
    40   MS. STEEL:   Then the second sentence was: "Accident Book only
    41        filled in if someone makes a fuss."
    42
    43        If you could go back to page 200 -- this is 29th June
    44        1992 -- under "Health and Safety", the last point is: "The
    45        Accident Book is available but it is not used."
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That page again?
    48
    49   MS. STEEL:  Page 200, the last point under "Health and Safety".
    50        It also says, incidentally: "Crew would like a fire drill. 
    51        No one can remember the last one."  Do you remember that as 
    52        a complaint? 
    53        A.  No.
    54
    55   Q.   Do you remember any fire drills?
    56        A.  I do not remember any fire drills, no.
    57
    58   Q.   Right.
    59        A.  But, there again, it is not my responsibility to
    60        enforce the fire drill procedures, et cetera.
