Although this equipment is commonly used, incorrect wheel selection, inadequate inspection, unsuitable mounting, or unsafe operation can expose workers and others to serious harm. The risks increase when users do not understand wheel markings, equipment compatibility, operating limitations, or their responsibilities when working with abrasive wheels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbrasive-wheel incidents may involve wheel breakage, contact with moving components, flying fragments, sparks, dust, noise, vibration, or loss of control of the equipment. These hazards may arise from using a damaged wheel, fitting an incompatible wheel, exceeding the permitted operating speed, ignoring manufacturer guidance, or allowing an inadequately trained person to operate the equipment. Effective risk control therefore depends on competent users, suitable equipment, careful wheel selection, regular inspection, and clearly established workplace procedures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Abrasive Wheels course provides a structured introduction to abrasive-wheel safety, legal responsibilities, workplace hazards, user competence, wheel types, construction, compatibility, selection, inspection, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
