It should (but please check) be on tight if it is already installed otherwise you have to get it tightened on with chainwhip as it is your only rear brake whilst fixed so you do not want it coming loose! Definitely get your mechanicmate to help you out as it is the kind of thing bike shops charge a fortune for.
You should really get a lockring pretty soon after if you decide to ride fixed (again around £10) just for extra safety but until you start doing wild one footed skidz around town you should not have too much loosening trouble....
