No not really.

I was never ever poked prodded or physically molested at work or

I work on civil construction sites quite often and remember only
two in the last ten years where those I dealt with were too thick
to express themselves in plain English.

Both sites had very serious shortcomings incidentally.

In fact I will always remember one in particular, because an
"Electrical Engineer" borrowed my DMM to check a relay and came up
with the little gem "do I use both leads to check this?"

Any assaults even on those sites would have resulted in instant

I fail to comprehend why you find it neccesary to resort to

Yes. And most of them have their own cars.

Perhaps the person accepting the reports could be trained in the use

We don't have them. Someone straight from full time education

I never see youngsters on site. The last time I saw what I assumed
were apprentices, they were pulling cables through at a water
treatment works ten years back. They worked for a well known firm
of Welsh Electrical contractors. I remember them because of the
stupid infighting they had with each other, and even watched a
pair being seperated by their colleagues.

I don't think the company still employs such people. Behaviour
like that is not on, indeed on a recent FAT, I saw no one under
25 on their premises [Apart from the somewhat scenic receptionist
of course]. HN

Adam doesn't want to teach them anything..
If he did they would get his job.

I prefer to teach them to think for themselves. Something that we do not
often do these days.

Quite...

I set the apprentices tasks and challenges that mean they have to think for
themselves instead of me just wiping their arses. They do not like it. They
like to live in a world where they are protected by their Mother and have
everything done for them.

Indeed... Been there seen that..

If you see it every day then there has to be something seriously wrong

A personal OT: I served a 5 year electrical apprecticeship in the 70's
(70s) with a very well know major industrial company. (Still going
today). During my 2nd year I was the victim of "a greasing". This
entailed being attacked by several other (older) apprentices, wrestled
to the floor in the machine shop, overalls pulled open and trousers
and underpants pulled down so the "senior" apprenctices could take
turns in rubbing copious amounts of grease onto ones genitals.
It was very degrading. I was quite a strong lad in my youth and it did
take more than five of them to do it - at one point I was faced with a
decision to either kill at least one of them with the length of steel
bar I had managed to grab or - well, not to.

I just felt sorry for them afterwards. Still do I suppose. And
disappointed. It's kind of like being betrayed, a super let-down.

It's possible to do it without swearing or shouting, and indeed can be

Sometimes it's quicker to communicate in the nativi langauge of the
individual concerned. :)

Methinks if you examine the post's so far,your idea of required
communications skills may be restricted to pokes, grunts and
assaulting genitalia. For the average human though, gifted with an odd
bit of linguistic ability physical contact or even shouting is not
actually neccesary.

Hope this helps

For that you have to assume that the person has at least average human abilities which includes linguistic ability. Otherwise you could put the light on a realise you've been asking a brick to connect the power lead to the wall socket.

I didn't personally get molested but when I arrived with my lil toolbox I
was asked if I'd had all my tools skimmed yet.
I said no, not yet, whereupon every single tool was skimmed down the full
length of the shop.

Another trick - there were a few bunsen burners around the place for making
tea etc. The rubber gas feed ran under one of the lads benches. Anytime
someone tried to light a fag he'd just squeeze the pipe.

Another guy built a beatiful wooden toolbox, no really, a work of art.
Before the owner arrived one morning they'd cut out a tenon saw and laid it
on the toolbox. It looked exactly as though some ******* had half sawn
through his pride & joy.

One workshop I was in, one lad filled a pair of overalls with
cardboard and left the legs (and boots, that was the best bit)
sticking out from under a jacked-up car next to the office. It was
funny as **** seeing the office staff step carefully over the legs as
they came and went.

During the teabreak I hotwired /extended the ignition kinglead from a
neighbouring car to the one George was working on. Gave him a few jags
before he sussed it. All I used was auto wire, not HT cable.
