Posted By ernie luney under the old regulations it was necessary to keep a register of all employees who had been trained to change an abrasive wheel is this still the case and if so should this be kept on each location if you had different engineering workshops located around the country.

Posted By RP Whilst it is not now a requirement to maintain a register, having spoken to HSE on this some years ago they advise that such a register and training records should be kept. this should mimic the older regulations. At the end of the day you will need this as evidence in any event...

Posted By Sean Warburton Hi, the requirements of training within the abrasive wheel act are now held within reg 9 of PUWER since the act was revoked. It still requires adequate training for all persons who use work equipment. To be able to demonstrate you have provided training this would need to be recorded in a SSOW, as a register would only show they have been trained but wouldn't show what they have bee trained against. Hope this helps

Posted By Jay Joshi Although you have not been required to maintain a statutory register, Regulation 7 of PUWER refering to specific risks requires employers to ensure that:- (a) the use of that work equipment is restricted to those persons given the task of using it; and (b) repairs, modifications, maintenance or servicing of that work equipment is restricted to those persons who have been specifically designated Thise designated must receive adequate training In a nutshell, you do not have to maintain a statutory register, but have restrict the mounting of abrasive wheels to designated persons. It is implicit that you have to maintain a record of such persons.
