To help America’s workers stay safe, MANCOMM developed and released the Grinder Safety Training CD. This CD can help workers to improve safety and minimize risk by focusing on a personal protection system for pedestal and bench grinders. Topics covered include personal protective equipment, grinder and grinding wheel RPM compatibility, ring tests, grinding wheel installation, guard adjustment, and aluminum oxide grinding wheels. “Because abrasive wheel grinders are everyday equipment in workplaces nationwide, many workers become complacent about their hazards,” said Benjamin W. Mangan, founder and president of MANCOMM. “Improper use of a grinding wheel, or the use of one that is defective or damaged, can cause the wheel to break up. And those flying fragments can be deadly.” The Grinder Safety Training CD is the first release in MANCOMM’s new Safety Interactive Training Experience (SITE) product line. SITE products use multimedia presentations which actively engage trainees in user-based interactions.
