[ "Following a number of fatal accidents involving large tyre inflation in 2014, the Health and Safety Authority issued this safety alert to emphasise the importance of safety procedures during large Blacklion tyres Kidderminster inflation in all work sectors.This safety alert addresses the risks associated with excessive tyre inflation.Threats posed by explosive energy stored in tyres:Inflated tyres have a lot of energy stored in them. A typical commercial vehicle (CV) tyre, for example, has more than 34 tonnes of force acting on it.Tyres are built to withstand this, but if they are damaged, used flat [run flat], or significantly underinflated, they may fail.The force can then be released explosively, resulting in a destructive air blast and high-speed particle ejection. These types of tyre explosions have resulted in a number of workplace fatalities.DangerTyre removal, replacement, and inflation is common practice, so it may appear to be a simple task. However, it has the potential to cause severe injury and death as a result of:During inflation, the tyre may explode or the wheel may disintegrate.manual tyre and wheel handlingan elevated vehicle collapsingInspection should reveal any cuts or splits, and there are industry standards for determining whether a repair should be attempted.Damage to the internal steel or textile cords, on the other hand, may not be visible.Internal damage may not be apparent until the tyre is reinflated and a bulge forms. At this point, the additional strain placed on the adjacent cords can cause them to break in rapid succession, causing the casing to violently split apart. This is commonly referred to as a 'zipper-failure.'Employee tyre maintenance training:Before beginning work, workers involved in tyre servicing, repair, and maintenance should receive appropriate instruction and training. which must include, at a minimum, the following elements:How to inspect tyre inflation equipment and tools before beginning work to ensure they are in safe working order.How to demount tyres correctly, including proper deflation.How to check rim/wheel components for misalignment and damage. Corrosion and rust buildup, metal cracks, deformed flanges, sprung side and/or lock rings, broken or cracked discs, damaged rim bases, worn tubes or flaps, and bent or broken beads in the tyres are all examples of typical damage.How to properly mount tyres to rims/wheels. This includes the proper procedure to be followed, the proper tools and safety equipment to be used, the assembly inspections to be performed, and the inflation steps to be taken.How to Use Restraint Devices CorrectlyHow to properly handle tyre assemblies and rims/wheels. This could include using mechanical aids in the handling of heavy tyre assemblies.Installing and removing tyre assemblies.How to Inflate Tires on a VehicleTyre inflation personal protective equipment [PPE]When servicing tyres, the following personal protective equipment must be used at a minimum to avoid unnecessary injury to the body and eyes:shoes for safetyEye protection (goggles or safety glasses)To reduce the possibility of a violent explosionCheck the pressure and write it on the tyre wall before deflating it. Remember that low tyre pressure could have resulted in tyre wall damage.If a tyre has been significantly underinflated, do not inflate it until it has been thoroughly checked. Examine the wheels and tyres (both externally and internally) for signs of damage such as cracks,' marbling' (black lines), bulging, soft spots, or exposed steel cord in the tyre carcass. DO NOT re-inflate the tyre if in doubt.Use airlines only if they have a working pressure gauge or a pressure control device.When reinflating a  tyres Kidderminster, stay outside the likely explosion trajectory." ]
