FAQs
-
Q: Where can I find HSE's - Safety in the use of abrasive wheels publication
A:
pdfs are available on the HSE website (2.5MB)
-
Q: Frequency of training - the certificate says 5 yrs but BAF suggest 3 yrs - why is there a difference?
A:
5 years is in line with other major accreditation bodies such as PASMA, CITB, etc. but if you haven't used them since you received training then 3 years is probably more sensible.
-
Q: Is this course BAF accredited?
A:
No, but the trainers are. The reason is economic - a BAF accredited course would be more expensive for us to provide and essentially would not differ to the courses we run.
Course feedback
Able to use correct tool for the correct application safely using the appropriate safety equipment.
Understand info on wheels and potential outcomes of not using them correctly - Very good straight to the point
Impoved safety of myself and others. Improved monitoring of other users.
Loads of info and tips.
I know far more about using the correct PPE and checking the grinding wheel and machine. It was good and I learnt a lot.
I now know more about the information on the grinding disk this will help me choose the correct disk for the job.
