Course Details
Who Attends?
All people using equipment at work must be adequately trained to ensure health and safety in its use, supervision or management. Some work activities require detailed formal training but, for most everyday activities involving work equipment, adequate training can be delivered in-house using the manufacturer’s instructions and the background knowledge / skills of more experienced workers and managers.
People should be competent for the work they undertake. Training – along with knowledge, experience and skill – helps develop such competence. However, competence may (in some cases) necessarily include medical fitness and physical / mental aptitude for the activity.
The Aim?
The Abrasive Wheels course will teach delegates how to operate wheel cutting equipment, the relevant legislation, different types of wheels, discs and the functions and the approved methods of inspecting, storing the equipment and to enable the delegate to use the equipment safely to reduce any injuries in the work place.
