About the Abrasive Wheels Training Course

Course Objectives

The Abrasive Wheels Training course focuses on the practical and legal aspects of working with abrasive wheels, providing participants with a thorough understanding of the dangers involved, legal responsibilities, and safe handling practices. This in-depth training covers:

  • Identifying and mitigating the risks posed by abrasive wheels.
  • Legal obligations of both employers and employees under the Safety, Health, and Welfare at Work Regulations 2016.
  • Proper storage, maintenance, and inspection techniques to ensure wheel safety.

The course equips you with the knowledge and confidence to safely mount, use, and maintain abrasive wheels in your workplace, helping you comply with Irish safety standards and reduce the risk of accidents.
