In our half-day training, attendees gain in-depth knowledge about safety measures for abrasive wheels, starting with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER 1998) and its Approved Code of Practice.
The course highlights potential hazards and associated risks, and the importance of wheel marking systems, proper storage, handling, and transportation.
Attendees will learn about wheel components, assembly, and balancing, alongside maintaining wheel performance.
The session wraps up with guidelines on machine adjustments and the correct use of personal protective equipment.
Legally, training in abrasive wheels is mandated by PUWER 98.
HSE data on abrasive wheel accidents reveals that almost half of the related accidents arise from operator errors or unsafe systems of work. As such, accidents, injury and damage resulting from poor wheel mounting and misuse are all too common.
While some hazards, like wheel breakage, are evident, others like noise, vibration, or dust might surprise you.
The HSE underscores that proper training—blending theory and hands-on experience—is unparalleled in ensuring safe machinery operation and wheel use.
This course is ideal for those who operate, supervise or manage the use of abrasive and grinding wheels.
It is suitable for just about anyone using portable tools with an abrasive wheel i.e. angle grinders, disc cutters, skill saws, concrete saws or ‘whizzers’.
