Hi Andy, Some years ago we had this in the NHS with people applying to be student nurses and then realising they couldn't manage the role. Which similarly caused a few problems. The nurse manager and HR got together and produced an "add on" section to the job discription describing the potential hazards of the job: manual handling, need to be vaccinated for Hepatitis B, night duty etc. Plus a phrase if they felt unsure about whether to apply for the post to get in touch first. This was sent out with application forms to potential applicants. Basically to try and raise awareness of what the job entailed. This was before DDA though. But it helped in that the employer had tried at this one stage to inform people of the hazards of the job BEFORE THEY WERE EXPOSEDN to the hazards ie. in line with current law. With recruitment processes so different these days don't know if this is an idea for you? Regards Sue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
