Course Details
This Abrasive Wheels awareness course gives operatives a clear understanding of how abrasive wheels are used on UK sites and why incorrect handling can lead to serious harm. It explains common wheel types, typical site uses and the legal duties that govern safe operation. The course includes:
- Defines abrasive wheels and where they’re used: angle grinders, bench grinders, cut-off saws
- Highlights key hazards: wheel breakage, flying fragments, dust inhalation, sparks, contact injuries
- Explains the legal framework under PUWER 1998
- Outlines shared responsibilities for employers and employees
- Emphasises why only trained, authorised personnel should mount or change wheels
The course also focuses on safe working practice: choosing the right wheel, correct mounting, mandatory pre-use inspection, guarding, speed ratings, housekeeping, and the correct PPE for eye, hearing, respiratory, hand and body protection. Common mistakes are highlighted so learners know what to avoid, and the course finishes with emergency actions, record-keeping expectations, and a short knowledge check to confirm understanding.
