Use of Abrasive Wheels

With updates in current health and safety legislation arriving continually it is sometimes difficult to keep yourself and your staff abreast of changes.

In 1998 an amended version of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations came into force and as part of these new regulations the Abrasive Wheels Regulations were revoked.
