Employing a 16 year old

[hamdogg]

Hi all, there is a young lad, just left school who has contacted me asking for some Saturday work, I would only have him dragging etc, I just wondered if there was anything else I needed in place e.g insurance! Any advice cheers

You will need a specific 'young persons' risk assessment, as per HSE / Management Regs. (see Risks to young people at work )

 

Regardless of nos. employees, I would strongly recommend this be written documented.

 

Also supervisory levels, certainly in the early days, must be high and suitable thereafter.

 

Cheers,

Paul

Handy points about, Joes as well as I have a 16 year old girl wanting to come for some work experience.

No, a Lord would have 'forgotten' about it.

I reckon he's an 80's DJ and the BBC covered it up for him.

Good on those who do take on youngsters, we are now a society that pushes education and discourages work through aloofness and red tape. For many work is distasteful because they don't get it until in their 20s and its alien to them.
