Abrasive Wheels Course - Accreditation and Certification

IIRSM Certificate

Successful candidates will receive a IIRSM Certificate and 1 CPD Credit.

The Abrasive wheels safety awareness certificate has no expiry date because there is no formally recognised period of validity for any health and safety training. The HSE recommends refresher training is carried out whenever it is felt necessary. Safety registration bodies such as CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLine & SMAS and other members of the SSiP scheme recommend most re-training is done every 3 years.

All of our courses, systems and services have been registered to the internationally recognised ISO 9001:2015 quality standard. Quality Management Systems Ltd (QMS) made this prestigious award to Commodious in January 2018. This gives assurance that the training and assessment was completed with a quality registered organisation.

Abrasive Wheels Online Health & Safety Training Course

Abrasive Wheels Safety Training - Course Objectives

Portable abrasive wheel tools can go under many names such as angle grinders, cut-off saws, disc cutters, skill saws, Stihl saws, con saws or ‘whizzers’. The course covers the obvious dangers from wheel breakage or contact with a running wheel but also details the less obvious health risks, such as vibration, noise and dust.

This online course will provide delegates with an understanding of the main risks associated with using portable abrasive wheels and ways to minimise and control the risks. The course also provides details of the various health and safety laws and regulations that impose a duty on both employees and employers to manage the risks associated with abrasive wheels.

After completing the course candidates will:

  • Be aware of the dangers of using abrasive wheels.
  • Have knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework concerned with abrasive wheels.
  • Be aware of the precautions to take before starting work with an abrasive wheel.
  • Be aware of how to safely manage and use a portable abrasive wheel machine or cut-off saw.

Abrasive Wheels Course - Structure

The course comprises 3 interactive modules and a final assessment. Module 1 covers types of discs and wheels and the legal and regulatory guidelines. Module 2 describes the risks and Module 3 discusses how to manage the risks. More information on each module is detailed below. Links to recommended reading and additional resources are provided within the training modules. These links are not mandatory and will not be tested for in the final assessment.

Duration

It takes approximately 50 minutes to complete the course in full. This can be spread out over multiple sessions or completed in a single session. There is no time limit for completion.

Assessment

All candidates must complete a multiple choice assessment after working through the training material. The candidate will be asked 16 multiple choice questions, randomly chosen from a larger question pool, and need to answer a minimum of 12 correctly to pass. Candidates will be given instant feedback after completing the assessment stating whether they have passed or failed. The assessment can be re-taken as many times as is required to pass at no additional cost.
