Hi

Would anybody have any safety information regarding hand held angle grinders such as an example risk assessment or a link to such a web site ?

I am in the process of writing a Risk Assessment for an angle grinder and would like to have some information to cross reference to.

Areas considered so far are:

Equipment inspection / suitability
Wheel changing and correct use (cutting / grinding)
PPE
Vibration / Noise
Securing the work piece
Safety of others in the area
Training
Dust / dust masks

Any advice appreciated.

Regards,

I now have three documents that have been kindly sent to me by other forum users. Thank you all.

I therefore shouldn't need any further information on this subject.

Regards.
