1. Not doing the weekly vehicle checks [1] properly and letting

2. Putting 6.30am down on his time sheets instead of 8.00am -
Apprentices do not get paid travel time. Although to be fair one
of the electricians told him to put 6.30 on his sheets just to
see him get into trouble when he asked what time to put on the
sheets. (same apprentice also got a bollocking for doing the same
a few months ago)

3. Using "text speak" on his job report forms. I heard the words
"I do not want to read **** like that" shouted as he handed them
in.

[1] All vehicle checks have a signed and dated form so we know who
checks which van each week.

OOOOO, you are evil.
How detailed a vehicle check do you expect?

Have they got to check the oil?

Reasonable..

How about brake fluid?

Ditto..

How about track rod ends?

MOT item really, they don't usually develop sudden serious wear whereas
Oil disappearing quickly as with Brake fluid is serious..


How about excessive emissions?

Well clouds of smoke are likely to attract Plods attention so common
sense really needed here..

When I drove someones van all I checked was petrol oil and water.

Not tyres, the things most likely to get you in trouble, before
defective lights?

Lights are not on the list. It's not needed in this case.



Well its in apprentices best interests to check, after all its his
"licence" that will get the blame, driver responsible for the condition
of his vehicle.

Commendable to see that Adam is enforcing these checks.....
