Abrasive Wheels Training Course

The 3B Training course is around three hours long, while the EUSR course is 7 hours long, due to the practical machine cut.

The short duration allows you to get qualified quickly without affecting productivity and reducing your time away from work. In addition, we only cover the content that you need to know, therefore making the course engaging and valuable.

People who use abrasive wheels or other grinding and cutting tools in their work should attend this course. This includes machine operators and the managers and supervisors of the operators.

By attending the course, you are meeting the legal requirements of PUWER 98 that anyone who operates cutting or grinding wheels should have some form of appropriate training.

Not only will the training make you compliant, but it will also make you safety-competent. If you are not aware of the correct precautions and procedures of using abrasive wheels, you are putting yourself in danger of an accident. The most common accidents include the wheel breaking or you coming in contact with the wheel.

There are no formal requirements for this course.

We advise that you speak to the tutor before the course starts about the kind of equipment your job role requires so that the tutor can tailor the course content accordingly.

We also ask that you have a good level of speaking and understanding English. But, again, this is to get the most out of the course, and we know that you will leave the course and use abrasive wheels safely.

This abrasive wheels course is accredited by 3B Training or EUSR, depending on which course was taken.

After successfully passing the EUSR course, you will get a digital or physical card. The digital card is included as standard, and the physical card can be added as an extra cost.

If you have taken the 3B Training course and met the required pass mark, you will get your digital certificate in around 6 – 8 weeks.

The Abrasive Wheels certificate is  valid for three years. To renew the certificate, you must attend the course again.

In-house Courses

We can arrange Abrasive Wheels as an in-house course specifically for your company at one of our training venues or a venue of your choosing.

If you would like a 3B accredited Abrasive Wheels course, this is half a day and is delivered in a classroom.

Alternatively, if you prefer the EUSR accredited Abrasive Wheels course, this is a full day course that is delivered in the classroom.

If you have a large group of operatives who need the training, we can tailor the course to be relevant to your company. The social format will help to encourage conversation about your company’s internal processes.

We price each course individually per enquiry. The price we provide will vary depending on the venue, the equipment needed and the delegate numbers. Fill in the in-house enquiry form for a quote.

When using an abrasive wheel, the user must be fully equipped to deal with the potential hazards. Workers must be protected when working with construction dust, therefore we recommend attending the Face Fit Testing course.

You may also want to attend the UKATA Asbestos Awareness course to be aware of the dangers of asbestos and where to find it.

Yes, companies who are CITB registered can claim for each delegate who successfully pass this course.
