Hello everyone,
I have recently had an enquiry from a student looking to begin a
special effects course in September 2006, which involves working with
commercial grade machinery and a variety of mechanical and electrical
plant over the years of the course. The student has recently been
diagnosed with a mild form of epilepsy, only ever having one minor
seizure which occurred prior to his diagnosis. Since beginning
treatment in April 2005, he says he has had no seizures and his
physical behaviour is completely normal.
Can anyone else let me know what procedures/ health and safety
regulations other HEIs use, concerning acceptance of students with
epilepsy on courses where they must use machinery etc?
Many thanks,
