The mails so far suggest that the Safe Pass scheme is treated differently by different employers. I can understand why an emnployer might ask for pre-qualified staff, but it might be useful if on BAJR adverts they stated whether they would be willing to bear the cost of Safe Pass training for any applicants who don't currnetly hold the certificate. It would only be one half line extra on the advert, 'Safe pass training provided', but I guess if the situation were so cut and dried, they wouldn't be asking for pre-qualified staff!
Does anyone know whether it is just archaeologists who fall into the trap of having to pay for their own H&S training? Do employers in ireland generally bear the cost for other staff i.e construction workers? Does the Irish equivalant of the IFA have a view on this subject?
