Weiler Abrasives expands safety training program

Weiler Abrasives, Cresco, Pa., a provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning, has expanded its safety training program based on the SPOT (speed and size, pressure, orientation, time) methodology. The program now includes a video series of six focused training modules for cutting wheels; grinding and combo wheels; cups, cones, and plugs; coated abrasives; power brushes; and general abrasives and brushes.

Company representatives can conduct the safety training—which includes classroom learning and optional hands-on training—on-site or virtually. Participants learn to use the appropriate abrasives speed and product diameter, apply the appropriate force, position the abrasive at the correct angle to the work surface, and control the length of use and product wear. They also learn to identify potential hazards associated with abrasives use and implement safe work practices.
