Robert asks his supervisor, Ir. Richard what to do with the samples. Ir. Richard tells Robert only to document the existence of the samples. Robert is then told by Ir. Richard that since the client does other business with the firm (ZMXCEE), Ir. Richard will just tell the client where the drums are located but do nothing else. Thereafter, Ir. Richard informs the client of the presence of drums containing "questionable material" and suggests that they be removed. The client contacts another firm and has the material removed.
