Abrasive Wheels Training delivered where you work in Fraserburgh
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited abrasive wheels training on-site across Fraserburgh (AB43), about 60 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 20 via A90 / A98). We work with fishing, processing, agriculture and distribution operators operating around Fraserburgh Harbour and South Harbour industrial estate — including teams at Fraserburgh Harbour, Lunar Freezing / processors, South Harbour Industrial Estate, and shape each abrasive wheels course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical abrasive wheels operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including PUWER 1998 and HSG17. Cold-store FLT work in the Broch comes with wet floors, pallet-jack interaction and rapid temperature shifts — courses here lean heavily on traffic discipline, footwear and load-stability awareness. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited abrasive wheels certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: Aged 16+. Tool familiarity helpful but not required.

Abrasive Wheels Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Buchan, Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the abrasive wheels findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.

- Guards removed 'for the awkward cut' and never refitted
- No ring-test or storage discipline — moisture-damaged wheels then run at full speed
