EUSR Abrasive Wheels
Energy & Utility Skills has launched a new scheme to standardise the training received by operators of abrasive wheel equipment in the UK.
The Abrasive Wheels standard is designed to support the safety of individuals working with rotary grinding and cutting equipment, often used to shape materials such as metal or concrete.
Description Heading
According to HSE, currently our training course provides a certificate of attendance for the training, but not for competence with using the equipment.
Due to their power, design, and material, there is significant risk when operating grinding or cutting wheels. Sufficient training has been a requirement since the introduction of the Abrasive Wheels Regulations 1970 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
The Abrasive Wheels standard will require all trainees to demonstrate competence with the equipment as a requirement for completion.
