Although I don't disagree that pay and conditions are poor, there are in fact very few graduate positions where you will find any more respect or even pay than you'll get in archaeology. Highly paid, entry level graduate jobs are largely mythical and always have been, unless you're a trainee merchant banker teacher, or rozzer. Ask any engineer and they'll tell you that although they have a better career structure and prospects later on, they are still badly paid cannon fodder at the start.

If any of the above happen on one of my sites you can call me and I'll kick someone's ars*, unless you think it's realy dangerous, in which case, move to a safer place and call 0845 345 0055 (the HSE enquiries number) and tell them what's going on. I've reported insane capers on scaffolding and dodgy asbestos practices in that way.
Remember that EVERYONE ON SITE (i.e. the Employees) has a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to t[SIZE=2]ake reasonable care of your own and other people?s health and safety.
