Abrasive Wheels Safety Training
Details
Abrasive wheels are powered wheels, cylinders, belts, or points made from, or coated with, abrasive particles; they are incredibly fast-moving, which can make them very dangerous and injuries can be extremely serious. Safety training is therefore essential. In fact, around half of all accidents involving abrasive wheels are due to them being used incorrectly or without the proper controls in place.
This course looks at the different types of abrasive wheel and explains how to choose the right one. It then concentrates on safety when handling, using, and looking after abrasive wheels; finally covering the legal responsibilities for safety when working with them.
This course is CPD Accredited and IOSH & IIRSM Approved and provides a printable certificate upon completion.
