Abrasive wheel manufacturers take great care to ensure that their products are as safe as possible by complying with the European and International safety standards for abrasives.

But wheels are only safe if used correctly and this can only come as a result of proper training. However, in the DIY sector, most people using abrasives wheels are inexperieced and untrained.

Over many years, producers of abrasives have gained a great deal of experience and expertise in the safe use of abrasives. Records show that most accidents involving abrasive wheels are caused by operator error in handling, storing, mounting or use of the wheel.

Safety information is usually supplied with the products but this information rarely reaches the person using the wheels.
