Abrasive Wheels Training

Regulation 2(2)c of the Health and Safety at Work act 1974 and regulation 9(2) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 declares that training is mandatory for use of abrasive wheels. The training we offer addresses all of the relevant requirements by providing your employees with the knowledge and skills required to use the equipment safely. We offer two forms of training depending on the type of equipment. Full training courses are for those who operate handheld angle grinders and traditional abrasive wheels mounted upon pedestal offhand grinders. While a short training course is suitable for those who use angle grinders and cut off saws only. Both courses follow learning objectives and outcomes, and assessment is used as evidence of proficiency.

Electrical PAT Testing

Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 form the basis for the need to have electrical equipment tested regularly. Highcliffe Safety Services carries out PAT Testing: PAT is the term used for periodic testing and inspection of portable electrical appliances. Anything that is not part of the fixed electrical installation is deemed as portable. The frequency of testing depends largely on the risks involved and how often the equipment is used. For example, construction equipment may require inspection and/or testing every few months, while office equipment may only need inspection/testing every two years.

Construction and CDM Services

Highcliffe Safety Services has the qualifications, experience and expertise to offer a range of services in construction and for CDM related issues. They include; planning supervision, advice for clients, advice for architects, consultants and other professionals, advice for contractors, preparation of pre-tender health and safety plans, preparation of construction phase health and safety plans, site inspections, and advice and preparation of documents for CHAS compliance.
