About this course

The NPORS 301b course is a comprehensive training programme aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary for the safe and effective use of abrasive wheels in various applications. The course is designed to ensure that users can confidently identify, select, inspect, and fit different types of abrasive wheels onto a range of equipment.

The theory aspect of the course focuses on the proper selection of abrasive wheels, considering factors such as the material to be worked on, the type of equipment in use, and the specific task at hand. Participants learn how to identify the characteristics and specifications of different abrasive wheels, ensuring they make informed choices to maximise safety and efficiency.

Inspecting abrasive wheels is a crucial part of the training, as it ensures that the wheels are in good condition and free from defects that could lead to accidents. Understanding these inspections helps participants prevent potential hazards and maintain the integrity of the equipment.

Properly fitting wheels is essential to prevent accidents, minimise wear and tear, and maximise productivity. Participants practice fitting wheels on various types of equipment, gaining hands-on experience that boosts their confidence and competence.

The course also emphasizes the importance of complying with legal regulations surrounding abrasive wheel usage. This knowledge is vital to ensure that participants operate within the boundaries of the law and maintain a safe working environment.

The practical session is a hands-on experience where participants put their knowledge into action. They choose, inspect, and fit abrasive wheels for specific tasks on a variety of equipment, gaining practical skills that they can apply in real-world scenarios.
