This UKRS Course has been developed to provide learners with the knowledge, practical skills and operational competence required to safely select, inspect, mount, handle and operate abrasive wheels and cutting discs within workplace environments. The programme supports employers, operators and organisations in meeting legal responsibilities relating to the safe use of work equipment and reducing the significant risks associated with abrasive wheel failure, incorrect mounting, unsuitable equipment selection, poor operational practice and inadequate supervision.
The standard is suitable for learners involved in grinding, cutting, preparation, fabrication, maintenance, construction, engineering, agricultural, forestry, land-based and industrial operations where abrasive wheel equipment or cutting discs are used as part of routine workplace activities.
