Abrasive Wheels Safety training is a vital knowledge component for those who handle portable cutting tools such as angle grinders or disk cutters. The training will enable operators to spot the dangers which arise from the use of these tools. And how to prevent accidents, through correct storage and maintenance of disks and other essential items.
The course content is designed to address the main causes of accidents, injuries and illnesses which occur as a result of using abrasive wheels. Injuries occur as a result of incorrect use (operator error), unsafe working practices, or though poor maintenance of equipment.
