1. Not doing the weekly vehicle checks [1] properly and
letting vans go out with bald tyres.

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.....

I have my own van. I would not let those daft little *******s check it.
