getting an apprentice

[Agile]

Even if he is an unpaid trainee then you do neeed the insurance upgraded otherwise you are not covered if he floods Lady Watsit's kensington pad.

Nor are you covered if you tell him not to touch anything while you go to the washroom and then he tests the chainsaw on his foot!

Its very time consuming having trainees. I only take adults and because I am so selective I can say that I have had some very good ones, some of which post on here. Those who telephone, if they cannot speak reasonably understandably, have no chance.

When you work as a sole trader you can do what you like regarding health & safety, if you want to crawl up a roof ladder instead of scaffolding etc you would probably do it, no need to insist on a proper loft ladder /lighting & handrail etc when indoors as my recent plumbers did.
But as soon as you employ someone you have a duty of care to protect that person from work hazards so beware
