Hi guys, I've completed the city and guilds level 1 electrical installation at college now. Level 2 starts in September.
I have epilepsy and also have had a brain tumour removed from my right temporal lobe back in 2009. They had to also put a little metal plate above my ear as they had to take something off in order to get to the tumour area. My seizures are well controlled.
Obviously I'm scared of being electrocuted. I know it's discrimination to not employ somebody simply because of an illness. But if considered a risk when the risk assessment is carried out then they're entitled to say no aren't they? I understand if so.
I'm thinking about quitting this course though if I'm honest for one other reason. The college is a mess and we keep getting messed about in different ways, verrrry long story. It has been extremely stressful for the whole college.
Logically I think it's bet if I forgot about it. It's ----, but if it's best thing to do then I'll just have to do it.
I imagine there are employers on here. Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.
