Foreman instruction not written down and forgotten
If you already forgot the verbal dimension, do not guess. Stop that work area and re-confirm by phone/text or switch tasks until direction is clear.
Watch out
- Do not guess from memory when the number controls install location.
Check
- Stop before cutting/hanging based on memory.
- Write down what you remember and what is uncertain.
- Call/text the foreman with the exact location and options.
- If unreachable, work on a task that does not depend on the forgotten dimension.
- Write the confirmed direction down when received.

Say this to your foreman
I need to verify yesterday's verbal direction at [location]. I'm not sure if the offset was [12] or [18]. Which one do you want before I continue?
