Course Overview:
Kentec Training has been granted accreditation by the British Abrasives Federation to provide operator training courses in the safe use of abrasive products.
As training providers, we undertake many Abrasive Wheels / Cut-Off Saw courses for a vast range of clients; this generally takes place at our training centre in Tonbridge or the client’s premises at a time to suit them.
The course will cover the following products:
- Portable Angle Grinders fitted with cutting or grinding wheels

Suitable for:
This training course is suitable for all operators, managers and supervisors, who as part of their working duties select, mount, specify or use abrasive wheels as defined in PUWER Regulations 1998. The aim of the course is to enable candidates to work safely, to provide an understanding of current legislation and promote awareness of the dangers and hazards of abrasive wheels, and to offer practical steps to reduce workplace accidents and encourage workers to adopt a culture that results in a safer workplace.
