Preparing for work experience
Now that you are getting close to work experience and you have been allocated a placement there are a few things you can do to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Your school will give you a Work Experience Placement Description form and Agreement form that has the risk assessments and contact details for your employer. Part of the contract must be signed by yourself and your parent/carer. This agreement must be taken with you to your interview for the employer to sign. Once completed please bring it back to your form tutor or Careers.
Do read it – it tells you what you will be doing, the risks associated with the job and how and when to make contact. It will also tell you about any specialist or safety equipment (such as shoes) that you might need.
Before you make contact do some research about the company, look on the web, talk to people who use the company or work there. Employers like someone who is informed about their organisation.
Think about how you are going to get there. Where is it? Is it easy to fi nd? Getting there - Walk? Bus? Cycle? Get a lift?
How long will it take? There is nothing worse than being late for your interview or your fi rst day. Do a trial run and see how long it takes and exactly where it is.
Making Contact. On your Agreement form you will have a contact name and telephone number to contact your placement.
Think about what you are going to say (write some notes and have them in front of you).
Before you go
10
Some things to fi nd out when you telephone
Do they want you to attend an interview before the placement? (They should even if it’s only to have a look around and meet the people).
Do you need to take anything with you? Curriculum Vitae (CV)?
What time do you need to be there? Who should you ask for?
Prepare some questions that you want to ask.
My target for work experience is: ...............................................................................
Take your agreement form to be signed by the employer
Smile – Be professional and behave in an adult way that says - “I know what I’m doing and I’m pleased to be here”
Remember the name of the person you are seeing
Arrive 10 minutes early. Not too early and never late
Wear appropriate clothes - ask what to wear when you telephone
Speak clearly, calmly and use plenty of ‘please’ and ‘thank yous’
If in doubt ask do not guess
Be positive and enthusiastic (I’m really looking forward to...)
On day one, if you fi nish your task ask what you should do next
If there is time, ask if there is a project you can do
Target
11
All placements MUST be checked and authorised by Leicestershire Education Business Company (LEBC).
You are responsible for:
Your own health and safety whilst on placement
The health and safety of others - anyone who might be affected by your actions
Knowing your employer’s safety policy and rules - get to know the rules straight away
Observing the safety rules- Health and Safety regulations should be pointed out to you at the start of your placement. Obey at all times. Make sure you know the fire regulations, including the position of fire exits, extinguishers and alarms. Keep fire doors shut and take heed of notices displayed for your safety and the safety of other staff
Dressing safely/appropriately for the work you do
Behaving safely - do not fool around!
Reporting- any incident, damage to equipment or hazard, to the correct person (usually your supervisor and/or First Aider)
Always report accidents and enter them in the accident book
First Aid should be available and you will be told who is the official First Aider in your workplace
Do what is agreed in your placement description
IF IN DOUBT . . . ASK!

Health & safety (points to remember)

Tick to indicate that you have read this booklet
Health and safety booklet
Some things to ask your boss> What are the hazards and risks (2) of my job?
> Will I receive safety training and when?> What steps do I need to take to protect myself, is there any
safety gear I should wear? > What should I do in an emergency? Will I receive training?
> Who do I ask if I have a safety question? How do I report an
accident, health problems or if I notice something wrong?
> What do I do if I get hurt? Who is the first aid person?What should I look out for? (3)> Slips and trips – the most common cause of accidents are
because of overcrowding, untidy workplaces, spills on the
floor, trailing cables or damaged floors.> Machines and equipment – many accidents are caused by
poor maintenance, lack of safety guards, lack of training,
electrical faults that can cause burns, fires or kill, trying to fix
a machine without stopping and disconnecting it from the
power supply. Dangerous machinery is found in restaurant
kitchens as well as factories.> Lifting loads – that are heavy or unstable; lifting in an
awkward way; or, because aids such as trolleys have not been
provided.> Repetitive, fast work, especially in awkward postures
and with insufficient rest periods – can cause aches, pains
and damage to muscles and joints (musculoskeletal
disorders). Examples include factory assemble work,
supermarket checkout work or from using computer
keyboards or the mouse.> Noise – noise levels that are too high can damage your
hearing, although you will probably not be aware of it as it
happens slowly. The damage can never be repaired. Other
physical hazards include vibration and radiation. > Chemicals – including common cleaning fluids, paints,
hairdressing products and dust. Substances found at work
may cause disfiguring allergic skin rashes, permanent asthma,
cancers or birth defects. They can affect the liver, nervous
system and the blood.> Stress – may stem from how your job is organised - impossible
workloads, unclear responsibilities, too much pressure. Stress
can result from bullying from bosses or work mates. > Violence – if you have contact with members of the public.
It includes verbal abuse and physical assaults. It is definitely
not just ‘part of the job’.> Work environment – discomfort from heat or cold and
more serious problems from extremes of temperature; poor
lighting etc.
Get your rights and act responsiblyYou have rights at work:1 . Right to know2 . Right to participate3 . Right to refuse unsafe workWork is not a game and you have responsibilities at work:

It could happen to you
If you have an accident or damage your health at work you may
have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life.
Something tragic could happen to you, even on your first day at
work. Most of these tragedies could be prevented.
As a young person starting work, you may be more at risk than
your older colleagues. New to the job and the workplace, you
lack experience of the job and of the health and safety risks that
can be present. You have the right to safe and healthy work,
including the necessary training and supervision and the right to
ask questions and report things that look unsafe to you. If you are
under 18 years old the law bans you from doing certain
hazardous jobs because of your inexperience and possible
immaturity. This factsheet covers hazards in the workplace. A
separate factsheet provides more advice on your rights and
responsibilities.
According to European statistics, the work injury rate for young
people aged 18-24 years is 50% higher than for any other age
group of workers.
> An 18 year-old apprentice mechanic died 4 days after being
engulfed in flames; he was helping his manager empty a
mixture of petrol and diesel into a waste tank when the
petrol exploded…
And it is not just accident risks that could affect you, your health
could be damaged too:
> A hairdressing apprentice reacted to the products
she had to use; her hands came out in cuts and
blisters so that she could not even grip a knife and
fork and she had to give up the job…
The causes of such accidents and ill health include
working, lack of training and supervision and lack of
procedures and controls. And for under 18s, you are
much more likely to have an accident if you are
doing work that is restricted by law.
Tips on how to work safely (1)
> Don’t perform any task until you have been
properly trained.
> If you feel that you have been getting too much
information, too fast, ask your supervisor to slow
down and repeat the instructions.
> Don’t leave your work area unless you’ve been
told to do so. Other areas may have special hazards you don’t
know about such as overhanging power lines, slippery floors
or toxic chemicals.
> If you are unsure of something, ask someone first. A
supervisor or co-worker might help you prevent an accident
from happening.
> Don’t hesitate to ask for more training.
> Wear the proper personal protective equipment for the task
such as safety shoes, hard hat or gloves. Be sure that you
know when to wear protective gear, where to find it, how to
use it and how to care for it.
> Find out what to do in an emergency situation, whether it is
a fire alarm, power failure or other situation.
> Report any accidents to your supervisor immediately. Also
report them to your worker safety representative, if there is
one.
> Don’t ignore early signs of problems, such as headaches,
aches and pains, dizziness, itchy skin or irritated eyes, nose or
throat. If there is a doctor, nurse or other occupational health
staff, inform them. And if you visit your family doctor with a
complaint, tell them what work you do.
> Follow the advice and instructions you have been given –
this includes taking your breaks, adjusting your chair properly,
wearing safety gear.
