    OP has stated that in the current employment does not involve activity that requires protective clothing. So how could a failure to wear protective clothing in another job with a completely different employer affect the current employer's insurance? If that were the case ALL employers would have to obtain a declaration from all employees as to whether they have ever been disciplined or dismissed for breaching health and safety regulations in any other employment. I have been in the business many years and have never heard of this being an issue.

  • With regard to the current employer. I cannot imagine why they wish to see this documentation - apart from the fact that it was probably a gross misconduct dismissal and they possibly wish to satisfy themselves that it wasn't for (say) stealing or assault, or some other circumstance that could possibly indicate that he is a potential risk in his current employment (I am not saying their actions are right, just guessing at what their motivation might be).

    This should satisfy the current employer and avoid him getting into unwanted confrontation, or being 'economical with the truth' which may be difficult/impossible for someone with aspergers (in my experience).

    Wonderful, perfect, fantastic advice !! thank you loads, we did exactly as you suggested, sent him in with the letter, they talked to him for 90 minutes, but he said he 'felt fine' when he left and they were perfectly nice to him, just a lecture about 'doing things right'. Thank you again :beer:
