Abrasive Wheel Training – Half Day
Overview
Abrasive wheels are commonly used across construction, workshops, and industrial environments — but they also present a serious risk if used incorrectly. Injuries can range from cuts and eye damage to more severe incidents if proper controls aren’t in place.
The issue is often not the equipment itself, but how it’s used, maintained, and checked before use.
This course is designed to give delegates a clear understanding of how to operate abrasive wheels safely, recognise potential risks, and follow the correct procedures.
