Why is Abrasive Wheel Training Important?

Stay Safe, Stay Compliant.

Using abrasive wheels can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s why this training matters. It gives you the skills to do the job right-and safely. The law says so, too. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) makes it clear: every piece of work equipment must be safe to use and anyone using it must be trained. That includes abrasive wheels.

PUWER isn’t just about rules-it’s about protecting people. Accidents with abrasive wheels can lead to serious injury or worse. This training helps prevent that by showing you the right way to set up, use and maintain the equipment. Employers also have a legal duty. They must make sure their staff are trained to use machines safely, know the risks and understand how to reduce them. PUWER Section 9 (1) says every worker must get this training before using equipment.

This law replaced the 1992 version and added improvements to make workplaces even safer. It covers all industries and applies to any place where tools and machines are used daily. If you work with grinders or cutting wheels, you need to know what you're doing. This training is not just a legal box to tick-it’s about protecting your hands, your eyes and your life. You’ll learn what to watch out for, what mistakes to avoid and how to spot signs of damage before it’s too late. When you know how to use abrasive wheels the right way, you’re not just doing your job-you’re doing it with confidence and care. And that helps everyone go home safe at the end of the day.
