A Friend has asked me what I think of this situation he is in, he works as a caretaker in a the halls of residence for students in a university, he has been asked to change the odd light fitting and socket, plus resetting any immersion heater that may trip the overheat stat,
My opinion is he is not under the instruction of a skilled person and has no training at all, including safe isolation etc.
This is a public building so surely this sort of work should be carried out only by a competent person,
I wonder what you all make of this, I have told him that just under health and safety he is putting his life at risk let alone other peoples as he has no traning for this sort of work.
