OSHA says it has revised its tire servicing materials to address current hazards in the industry and help workers safely perform maintenance on large vehicle tires. The revised materials address OSHA’s materials handling and storage standard that protects workers who service single-piece and multi-piece rim wheels. Following recent talks with representatives from tire, rubber and wheel manufacturers, OSHA determined a need for new materials with updates from sources such as the Tire Industry Association, the agency says.
