Abrasive Wheels

Abrasive Wheel Training – Stay Safe & Compliant with PUWER 98

Why Abrasive Wheel Training is Essential

Abrasive wheels are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, engineering, and fabrication, but incorrect handling can lead to serious injuries and even fatalities. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 98) require that anyone operating abrasive wheel equipment must receive adequate training to ensure safe use, maintenance, and risk awareness.

Our Abrasive Wheel Training Course provides the knowledge and practical skills necessary to operate abrasive wheel machinery safely, reducing workplace accidents, equipment damage, and legal risks.

This course is designed and structured to provide training in the safe use of abrasive wheels and meets with the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 98)
