When things go wrong , the only question that matters is “who’s fault is it?” Personally I take an extra few minutes to check everything, even though it’s not my job to. Cover myself as much as possible and make sure the answer isn’t “mine”.
I know that’s really ■■■■, but as you found out people will pass the buck if they can.

I find corporate blame culture and ■■■ covering antics quite disgusting at times.
On the rare occasions I make a misstake (shocking i know) I find owning up to it confuses everyone and they end up blaming someone else…

Here’s an update on the matter, I have spoken to a higher manager who I unexpectedly saw on the yard, & explained what I had been told to do, & without hesitation he said No, you just grab the paperwork & get gone!! He knew nothing about this matter until I bought it to his attention.
Someone pulling a fast one , passing the buck !!Hope he goes sort it then. Also hope he doesn’t inadvertently mention you by name as it sounds like you’ve enough grief at that place with having any more sent your way if they think you deliberately went above whoever wanted to pass the buck.
The chance are they would guess anyway, particularly if I was the only one they asked to do it. Time will tell no doubt.

Thanks for your reply C. Caveman , I understand what you are saying, but now l have asked & been told a strong No , I would be doing wrong if I now did start pulling the load about to check labels.

If there’s an error no doubt they will try & blame someone else.
Many thanks to all for the advice much appreciated, & taken on board.
