and letting vans go out
with bald tyres.

The driver is legally responsible for driving the van with the bald
tyres so why is he doing the checks?

Because they are paid to do it is a good start. It's called learning. The
apprentices also drive the vans.

We check their work and then bollock them when they lie or do a poor job.
The tyres were still just legal but should have been reported as per the
weekly check form. They should have been reported four weeks ago so four
apprentices got a bollocking as all four of them had either lied or not done
their job properly. It is not their job to decide if the tyres are road
legal but it is their job to report on the condition of the tyres and that
included when the tyres have reached the depth indicators or are wearing
unevenly.

Their work was monitored for the last 4 weeks and they lied or did a poor
job.
