Abrasive safety training – Train the Trainer
The Abrasive safety “Train the Trainer” course has been developed and accredited by the British Abrasives Federation (BAF) to provide training to in-house trainers to enable them to provide accurate, up-to-date Abrasive training to their staff and for training companies who wish to increase the courses they offer.
Why should your employees take this course?
The improper use, handling and storage of Abrasive products can lead to serious and sometimes fatal accidents. This has been recognised in the UK and is now covered by legislation. This legislation makes it a legal requirement that operators, and those involved in the use of Abrasive Wheels, are properly trained.
Depending on the number of employees you have it can sometimes be more cost and time effective for some of your employees to attend the “Train the Trainer” course, and then impart their knowledge to everyone else.
The course can be adapted to suit: Supervisors, Managers and company trainers.
Previous training experience is a benefit, but not essential. This course covers both trainer and abrasive training. There is no pre-course work and no previous qualifications are required.
The course includes:
- Participant inclusion
- How to avoid “death by PowerPoint”
- Learning styles
- Telling vs teaching
- Assessments
- Active Learning
- A comprehensive set of BAF approved course notes for each trainee.
- Training guidance and support
- Hazards associated with the use of abrasive wheels
- Types and design of wheels (including specification, to avoid incorrect selection)
- Inspection, testing and storage (including damaged/fault wheel checks and ring test)
- Mounting of wheels (including a practical “verification of competence” test, ensuring safe mounting procedures are followed and tool care is adhered)
- Ensuring a safe working environment
- PPE
- Safe use of abrasive wheels
- A test at the end of the course to ensure the participant has understood the content
