ii.PLEASE ENSURE that the words 'CEMEX Site AND [Site Name]' appear in the email header row.

NOTE: Where scheduled samples could not be taken, the sample type should have been set to NST. Any samples with a sample type of NST will NOT appear on the Chain of Custody as the samples do not exist. The absence of the NST samples from the CoC is correct.
