Abrasive Wheels Training delivered where you work in Westhill
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited abrasive wheels training on-site across Westhill (AB32), about 22 road miles from our Aboyne base (~35 mins via A944).

On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited abrasive wheels certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.

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