This safety training is a legal requirement in the UK
Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), it is a legal requirement for those involved in the use of abrasive wheels to be properly trained every 3 years. These regulations have totally replaced the Abrasive Wheel Regulations 1970 for the safe handling, storing, mounting and use of abrasive wheels.
In addition, new safety standards for abrasive wheels and grinding machines and new codes of practice for the safe use of these products have also been introduced. This has widened the scope for training to include those manufacturing, specifying, selling, purchasing and supervising the use of abrasive wheels.
