Safety First!
Let’s Define the Hazard
Common Sense
Healthy people go to the doctor for a checkup annually to make sure they are really healthy and to ward off problems. Wheels and rims need to be checked the very same way.
Mounted Tires and Wheels as Pressure Vessels
The inflated tire-wheel assembly also acts as a pressure vessel that releases a large amount of energy when catastrophically deflated.
Management and Supervisory Responsibility
In the United States, awareness, training and qualification is covered by:
Federally by 29 CFR OSHA 1910.177 (c) Employee Training
Mine Safety Health Administration IG-60 document
At state level by various regulations reiterating and supplementing OSHA 1910.177
