Subject: BOD5 test Method

Importance: Normal

 

Bob, we find ourselves in a situation where we need to immediately confirm to our legal counsel that the test we did yesterday for BOD5 is valid. Our level 2 Operator, Jake Ehredt, performed while I observed, and I have audio and images documenting the test.

According to the non-official word document called “QA-QC Manual – Master.doc” that is available to me on our computer files (I can’t find any signed, approved, or official version) that has Date Modified timestamp of 11/16/2017 8:09am, we are suppose to perform this lab test in accordance with “reference method SM 18 Ed. 5210 B”. Would you be able to do this:

  1. 1. Confirm that this reference method exists, is the correct method for the test, and is something you understand.
  2. 2. Assemble some diagnostic questions for me to answer, designed to confirm the Operator did the test according to method.
  3. 3. Review my answers, based on what I witnessed the operator do.
  4. 4. Tell us, based on my answers, whether our operator followed the method.

 

Time frame for this is basically immediate, I’m not sure we can wait until the 14th. Can we do this tomorrow? Is this something you can do for us?
