Jesus Christ, Sam... :roll:
Case:
Hmmmmmh ... Breaking into one's workplace appears an extreme tactic for securing an 'Intern of the Month'-award ...
(Especially if one is the only intern ...)

She's also a teenager that hasn't learned the value of any variation of the words shouldn't do. Which is a negative for anyone of any age. Especially when she's taking advantage of the hospitality of a small business that might not have enough liability insurance to cover if she were to fall and break something vital. And is quite possibly setting them up to run afoul of child labor laws. And is definitely setting them up to run afoul of regulations regarding children around machining/metalforming/welding/etc equipment (actually forget the child bit, just regulations concerning proper protective clothing around said equipment).
TL;DR - Kid needs an attitude adjustment and Jim needs to start taking a much more active role in parenting her.

"Sam, please don't DO that. If you get hurt again, your Dad will kill us..." basically.

I do not disagree. The 'trick', however, is teaching your child what they "shouldn't do," versus than instilling a mindset of things they "can't do." Knowing the difference between those two things, walks the path of good/wise parenting &/or mentoring. 8-)
