Building Site etiquette or top tips?

[tanzoid]

I am leaving the Navy after 15 years as a Electronic Engineer and I have just retrained as an electrician (2391, 2382, Level 2 EAL cert for Domestic Elect Installers and ECS card application in the post).
A local Company has kindly offered me a work trial on a building site.
As I have never worked on a building site are there any tips anyone can give me on how to act on site and what to expect?

Expect to be hated by poles russians lithuanians croats latvians french as well as all the usual suspects..... plasterers, ceiling fixers, painters, brickies, and anyone in management and health and safety.

This is because we practice in the dark art of electrickery, of which they know buggrall about, so remember shipmate, it's not that we think we are better than them, or indeed that THEY think that we think that we are better than them, it's because we ARE better than them...so chin up and don't take any cr*p from anybody.

good luck matey
