AThough easy to operate, abrasive wheels grinders are in fact very dangerous in the novice hands, such as the young interns in the educational contexts. The purpose of the study is to investigate how untrained young users respond to the pre-operational inspection, operational safety awareness, and operational safety management awareness, regarding their use of abrasive wheels grinders. The method involved a questionnaire with four sections to collect the safety recognition, attitude, and behaviors of the participants toward the safety of operating abrasive wheels grinders. There were 165 participants, with engineering-related majors, from a south-Taiwan university responding to the questionnaire. The data were collected and analyzed with SPSS. The results indicated that the participants responded poorly to the three items regarding safety awareness. Based on the findings, the study concluded with the design of a safety awareness check list and concise and illustrated instructions of safe operation of abrasive wheels grinders for novice users.
