Pete999 I get on quite well with my Boss so I will contact him soonest about this. Many thanks.

No worries from me.

It is a tricky situation and your only option is to take it up with your boss. Make it clear your concerns are not for yourself but your colleagues welfare and the integrity of the company. Good luck.

Then you are equally as responsible as he other in legal terms I would imagine, you know it's wrong so do'es Matey. Well maybe not if he is screwing up his Meds, so tell your Boss, no shame Alexander no shame whatsoever.

Westward10, dont have regs with me (off today ) will check though and get the facts before I open my mouth on Monday, I want to do this without causing a disturbance and making waves, I still have to see this bloke every working day.

IMO you wouldn't need the Regs to tell you the work you posted is under par.

under par, my arse. from the OP's pic, the guy should not be let loose anywhere near anything other than lego. he's a danger to himself and others.

Even had the crimp connection been perfect it is still not acceptable to have it floating about within a lighting column.

I didn't really know how to describe the work show without using bad language Tel, but as per usual you have put it very succinctly, without over exaggerating. Nice one.

Is he employed full time or as a contract worker also his illness should not impair on his work, they may have a duty of care and have to put him on light duties but thats for others to decide, you could have a word with your boss and you could also refuse to work with or to hand old him.

It doesn't matter if he is time served or not if his work is dangerous, what would happen if because of his work the pole became live and a pedestrian in the rain was touching it and had died?

Deleted it's all been said before, so nothing more to add.

 

[telectrix]

give the guy a broom. once he's mastered that, he can graduate to separating the scrappable copper from the rubbish. then after a 5 week course, he could progress to passing tools.

Hi - hope it works out well
Either way the present situation shouldn't continue and you're right to be concerned.

I would just say to the spark his work is rough, be a man, he will respect you for it, if he gets mouthy then say you will be happy to apologise if another electrician is allowed to have a look and agree it is a good job lol, that will sort him out.

 

[telectrix]

tell him he's a useless piece of garbage, stand a smack in the mouth, then he'll be sacked for gross misconduct.

 

[alexander jackson]

I applaude all these replies and telectrix I am tempted to do this.
