Comply with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 with this Abrasive Wheels training course.
PUWER states that employers must provide adequate training in the safe use of work equipment. This extends to those working with and supervising the use of abrasive wheels. These are items such as bench grinders and angle grinders.

We recommend renewing this qualification at least every 3 years to stay up to date with the latest procedures and legislation.
Who needs Abrasive Wheels training?
PUWER 1998 states:
- Every employer needs to ensure that everyone who uses work equipment is trained how to do so safely including methods of use, risks involved and precautions to be taken.
- Every employer must ensure that managers and supervisors who oversee the use of work equipment are trained to do so safely.
Therefore, this course is ideal for anyone who uses an abrasive wheel within the workplace or manages those that do.

Helen Owen –
Working within the construction industry requires all our staff to have Abrasive Wheels training as it is one of our mandatory courses.
We chose Livius as our training venue as it was convenient for staff to travel to and they also offered this course plus another for the same day which was ideal for our staff.
The content covered all aspects which are necessary and was presented in a clear format which our staff felt was interesting and easy to understand.
I would recommend this course to anyone and we will be booking future training with Livius.
