Make a useful HazLoc evidence request
Learning reference: BN-AW-HZ-01 · version 1.0.0

Fictional awareness practice. This record does not certify competence or approve equipment, a safety function or operation.
Use fictional facts and role names. Keep confidential records in your responsible project process.

Fictional dossier: the M24-B motor
Quotation Q-17 revision 2: Offers motor model M24-B. The delivery has not arrived.
Recorded certificate check: The fictional team records that the official online issue it checked is Current and lists M24-B. The complete record and supplier instructions are stored in its controlled project file.
Site-information request: The site atmosphere, assessed area information and expected ambient conditions have not been supplied.
Integrator note I-4: The drive, cable-entry and bonding interfaces are awaiting responsible review.
Draft handover: 'Certificate matches. Motor and skid are suitable. Close all open items.'

3. Missing evidence or unresolved question

5. Review trigger and current decision status

Written practice
Activity 1: separate the claim from the conclusion
Write two sentences. First state the limited progress supported by the recorded certificate check. Then state which product and application questions remain unresolved. Use only dossier facts.
____________________________________________________________

Activity 2: make one request actionable
Choose the missing site information or the delivered-unit identity. Draft a request that names the missing evidence, who supplies it, who reviews it and when the team revisits the open question. Do not invent a real person's name.
____________________________________________________________

Activity 3: respond to a discrepancy
New fictional evidence arrives: the receiving note says 'label reads M24-C', while the quotation and recorded certificate issue refer to M24-B. Write a revised handover and the next evidence request. You cannot inspect the actual unit in this exercise.
