Aim Of Course
To provide information and practical instruction to enable the participants to comply with the requirements of the relevant legislation relating to the safe use of abrasive wheels.
Requirement
The Abrasive Wheels Regulations 1970 were revoked when The Provision and Use of work Equipment Regulations came into force in 1998. Regulation 9, Training, re-affirms the requirement to provide adequate and sufficient knowledge and training to employees and supervisors alike. Eg, selecting and mounting abrasive wheels.
