Abrasive Wheel Training
This classroom-based course is designed for anyone who uses abrasive wheels or works near those who do. It helps individuals understand their responsibilities under workplace safety laws and is suitable for both users and managers.
Training can be delivered at one of our instructor centres or arranged onsite at your workplace.

Abrasive wheels are used in a wide variety of tools and processes, from hand grinding to disc cutting, and at different stages of a job—whether it’s cutting, polishing, or finishing. Each wheel type has specific characteristics, strengths, and potential hazards.
That’s why it’s essential to select the correct abrasive wheel for the task and use it with the appropriate equipment—safely and correctly.
