One of the most dangerous  pieces of equipment in any workplace, abrasive wheels have the potential to cause horrific and even fatal injuries. However, because the abrasive wheels equipment (con saws, angle grinders, bench grinders etc.) is often relatively easy to use employers are under the false impression that they are safe and therefore do not have their employees trained.

Because abrasive wheels can be dangerous, most countries have introduced legislation to control the use of abrasive wheel machines. It’s a legal requirement for employers to provide training to workers who will use abrasive wheels equipment.

This course addresses the essential aspects of abrasive wheel safety with tips drawn from several typical working situations. The programme provides a general introduction to safety in the use of abrasive wheels and in particular focuses on their use with hand-held angle grinders, cutting-off machines. The abrasive wheels regulations require that trainees be trained in the selection and mounting of abrasive wheels and this is covered in the course. The safe use of the machines is also covered as is required by other legislation i.e. the requirement to provide training in the safe use of equipment.
