Is online Abrasive Wheels Training valid?
Yes, for the theory and awareness stage. Abrasive Wheels Online training is a recognised way to build the knowledge that PUWER 1998 and HSE guidance HSG17 expect operators to have.
The law does not mandate classroom delivery. What matters is that the training is appropriate, comprehensive and equips workers with the knowledge to use abrasive wheels safely. Our online course delivers this through:
- Comprehensive curriculum covering hazards, the law, wheel selection, mounting, guarding and PPE
- Video demonstrations showing the ring test and safe operation in real workshop scenarios
- Assessment that tests understanding and retention (pass mark 7 out of 10)
- Certification with unique codes employers can verify instantly
The course is CPD (Continuing Professional Development) accredited, RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) assured and IIRSM (International Institute of Risk and Safety Management) approved for additional quality assurance. Practical competence is then confirmed on site by a competent person.
What the online course covers
- Understanding abrasive wheels - what they are and the machines they run on
- Abrasive wheel hazards - bursting, contact, fragments, fire, HAVS, dust and noise
- Legal requirements - HASAWA 1974, PUWER 1998 reg 9 and HSG17 guidance
- Wheel types and marking - bonded and superabrasive wheels to BS EN 12413 and BS EN 13236
- Speed and selection - never exceeding the marked maximum operating speed
- Inspection and the ring test - checking vitrified wheels before use
- Mounting and guarding - correct flanges, blotters, guards and work rests
- Safe operation and PPE - eye, hearing and respiratory protection
Seeing the ring test and safe set-up demonstrated on video makes it far easier to understand correct practice than reading about it. The online course is clear and practical.
