less than 4 employees is the no. for non written risk assesment and method statment, it also alows for a fluid risk assesment for changing work conditions ( multiple tree felling sites, where every fall changes the percieved risk) and things like that

verbal is OK if less than 5 staff if I remember correctly?

 

But a well formatted tick box + supplementary notes on the day only takes a few minutes and you have an audit trail...

As you said about the verbal risk assessment, it's fine until it isn't fine. I'd say for the time and effort it would take it would be prudent to quickly jot one down in my opinion.

Thanks one and all.

As has been said, get him/her to keep a diary of activities and also a photographic record. This will stand them in good stead for their college portfolio/proof of learning.

Again as said, don't assume they will be as aware of risk as us old duffers are.....
