Big tire servicers get revised safety guidance from OSHA
OSHA has revised its tire servicing materials to address current hazards in the industry and help workers safely perform maintenance on large vehicle tires. The materials address OSHA's Materials Handling and Storage standard that protects workers who service single-piece and multi-piece rim wheels.
The agency said it updated the materials with input from sources like the Tire Industry Association after talking to tire, rubber and wheel manufacturers.
