ABRASIVE WHEELS TRAINING COURSE ONLINE OVERVIEW
Abrasive Wheel Training is a legal requirement imposed on businesses with
employees operating abrasive wheels in the workplace. With the wheel spinning at
several thousand revolutions per minute, any material failure might result in
the fragments being ejected at high speed, potentially causing significant
damage. The abrasive wheel could overheat and burst in operation if it is worn,
broken, clogged with the wrong type of material debris, or handled
inappropriately.
This extensive Abrasive Wheel Training Course is designed to equip you with the
knowledge and skills to safely handle, operate and maintain abrasive wheels
without causing any potential harm to yourself or the people around you. The
course provides valuable insight into the numerous hazards associated with
abrasive wheels including ways to recognise and eliminate them. You'll also
acquire knowledge about the relevant legal responsibilities and duties of the
employer and employee in ensuring a safe working environment and conducting
regular risk assessments. This course concludes with relevant ways to store,
handle and inspect the main types of abrasive wheels along with proper guidance
to help you choose the correct wheel suitable for the corresponding task.
According to the accident statistics compiled by RoSPA, over half of all
abrasive wheel accidents are caused by an unsafe system of work or operator
error. Accidents occurring from unsafe use of abrasive wheels resulting in
shattered wheels, flying particles, or acute friction burns can lead to
hospitalisation and blindness. Therefore, it is crucial for any person working
around an abrasive wheel on a regular basis to receive the necessary and
