Abrasive Wheel Training
Our abrasive wheel training course gives operators the essential knowledge and practical skills to safely mount, use and maintain abrasive wheels in the workplace. Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), anyone responsible for mounting abrasive wheels must be trained and competent — this course fulfils that legal requirement and provides formal certification as evidence of compliance.
The course covers the risks associated with abrasive wheels, correct procedures for inspection, mounting and dressing, safe operating techniques for grinding and cutting, how to select the correct wheel for the task, speed and compatibility requirements, and how to identify defects that would make a wheel unsafe to use.
Delivered on-site in a half-day format, the course suits engineers, fabricators, maintenance technicians and anyone who regularly uses angle grinders, bench grinders or cutting discs as part of their work. The half-day format minimises disruption while ensuring your team meets its legal obligations.
On completion, each operator receives an abrasive wheel training certificate providing documented proof of competence.
