Abrasive Wheels

Course Description

The Abrasive Wheels scheme is designed to support the safety of individuals working with rotary grinding and cutting equipment, often used to shape materials such as metal or concrete. Due to their power, design, and material, there is significant risk when operating grinding or cutting wheels. Sufficient training has been a requirement since the introduction of the Abrasive Wheels Regulations 1970 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. According to HSE, training courses offered by a number of organisations generally provide a certificate of attendance for the training, but do not include a formal practical assessment using the equipment. Our Abrasive Wheels scheme requires all trainees have a formal written and practical assessment demonstrating knowledge and safe use of the equipment as a requirement for completion. The standard for this scheme was developed in collaboration with employers and stakeholders from across the energy and utility sector. It provides a framework to support consistency and relevance in training provision and assessment of knowledge and performance. Training and assessment against the standard will gain an individual a registration on EUSR. Training and assessment are delivered by providers through their Energy & Utility Skills approved programme. This scheme was developed in collaboration with and according to the requirements of employers and stakeholders from across the energy and utility sector. Successful completion of the training and assessments will result in an EUSR registration, valid for three years, in one or more of the following categories: Abrasive Wheels – Theory Only Abrasive Wheels – Petrol Cut Off Saw Abrasive Wheels – Petrol Floor Saw Abrasive Wheels – Electrical/Battery Angle Grinder (4 inch) Abrasive Wheels – Electrical/Battery Angle Grinder (9 inch) Abrasive Wheels – Electrical/Battery Bench Grinder Abrasive Wheels – Hydraulic Angle Grinder Abrasive Wheels – Pneumatic Angle Grinder For bookings please call Adrian on 07376053077 or email bbstraining2024@gmail.com
