What if we need to rebook?

We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.

Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

Do you do follow-up observation visits?

Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.

What evidence do you return?

Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.

Typical abrasive wheels scenarios on Kintore sites

Scenario 1
Cutting stainless on a fabrication bench with localised LEV
Scenario 2
Field cutting threaded bar with a 9-inch angle grinder near other trades
Scenario 3
Bench-grinder dressing and tool-rest gap (max 1.6 mm) routine

Audit findings this prevents

Wrong wheel on the wrong machine — RPM mismatch is the #1 burst-wheel cause
Guards removed 'for the awkward cut' and never refitted
No ring-test or storage discipline — moisture-damaged wheels then run at full speed
