Posted By Jeffrey Watt Martin Nothing from the legal side just a few suggestions. Confiscate the i-pod, eyes and mind on task. Put him with a squad you would trust your own kids with. Peer pressure will be massive so you don't want to set him with a bunch of comanchees. Induct him with that squad's foreman so we all know we're singing from the same hymn sheet. Tell him he is not to do any task he isn't trained in or that scares him or gives him the willies no matter who tells him he must do it. Try and see him at the end of the day and at least once again in the first week to get feedback that he is OK. Kind regards Jeff

Posted By R Joe Martin The LSC (Learning and Skills Council) have published a significant amount of information and guidance aimed at promoting the health and safety of young persons (albeit aimed primarily at organisations that they fund). Many of the principles eg the vital importance of good supervision/mentoring are the same, however. They also do a ‘Be Safe’ booklet for young persons starting work. You may want to take a look at the library of free downloads at their 'SafeLearner' website. www.safelearner.info/library.aspx Hope this helps. Regards RJ
