 * I'm not sure about the over 18's thing. Majorly, do we know what the insurance perspective on this is? Ideally I'd love to get some kids workshops going - Matt

I don't know if we have insurance beyond theft, etc. We ought to look into getting specific workshop insurance. Generally speaking, in the event of a liability hearing; if the Safety Officer can demonstrate that reasonable precautions were in place, and the kid was supervised by someone responsible, then an accident will just be an accident.

"Reasonable" precautions cover risk assessments, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), safety guards, adequate equipment training, supervision, physical ability, and so on. If safety has been blatantly ignored in the event of an accident, then the person liable is either the appointed Safety Officer, the site owner/lease owner, or a combination of those persons.

In my opinion, we want to encourage kids to pick up a soldering iron.

I had a big old H&S document on the old wiki, if TomA has a backup somewhere...
