  • Duty

    MHSWR 1999 and CDM 2015

  • Where it is used

    On the phone, that morning, before the permit.

What it does

  • The subject, the person who gave it, and who signed.
  • It sits on the same record as the permit they are about to open.
  • A talk with no names is not a record.

On the file
