Hi - do you need an abrasive wheel certificate to use an angle grinder in the workplace? I have never considered it (maybe wrongly) but we had an incident were an apprentice just nicked the skin on his thumb with a grinder. 1st aider gave it a wash, dry and then applied a plaster.
I thought I would cover myself and reported it to our Group HS team inline with policy.
This has now opened a whole can of worms up which is disappointing as when I asked the HS team what was the requirements for the tools and work the apprentice was going to do, I received no reply.
What is everyone's thoughts?
