1 PURPOSE & SCOPE

To protect employees from injury and equipment from damage associated with fitting andmaintenance of mobile equipment rims and tyres.

This Standard provides requirements for the prevention and protection against health risksand injury resulting from the fitting and maintenance of mobile equipment tyres and rims.

2 DEFINITIONS

2.1 RIM ASSEMBLY

The assembly of components which together comprise the rim. It may consist of a rim base,flanges, bead seat band and lock ring.

2.2 RIM BASE

The part of the wheel on which the tyre is mounted and supported. It may consist of anumber of separate components, eg: back section, centre section and gutter section.

2.3 WHEEL

A rotating load-carrying member between the tyre and the axle. It usually consists of twomajor parts, as follows:

The rim base; The wheel disc/nave plate.

A wheel can consist of a rim base or rim assembly with a disc or hub.

The rim and wheel disc may be integral, permanently attached, or detachable.

2.4 WHEEL DISC

That part of the wheel which is the supporting member between the axle or hub and the rimbase.3 ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 SENIOR SITE EXECUTIVE (SSE)

Ensure effective implementation of this standard.

inspected prior to commencement of task.


5/7



4 PROCEDURES

4.1 JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA)

All tyre and rim maintenance procedures and work instructions will be based on a JobHazard Analysis (JHA).

The results of JHAs will be used to demonstrate appropriate risk management withinprocedures and work instructions.

4.2 SAFE WORK AREA

Before equipment is called in for tyre or rim maintenance, the tyre fitter(s) shall prepare toolsand equipment and ensure the work area is clear of obstructions and other hazards, eg: oilor fuel leaks.

Sufficient distance shall also be allowed for between the equipment to be serviced and otherequipment in the area. Sufficient clearance must also be provided for access by the tyrehandler, and other equipment required for the task.

4.3 JACKING AND SUPPORTING EQUIPMENT

Refer to manufacturer instructions for location of jacking points; When jacking of equipment is required, always ensure the correct jacking point is

identified on the equipment and jacking equipment of sufficient capacity is used. Before jacking equipment, ensure the ground under the machine is a flat, lever

surface, and the ground or floor is capable of safely supporting the load. Always use appropriate support stands for supporting equipment, DO NOT rely on

jacks to support the equipment unless the jack is also designed and certified for thepurpose of supporting.

When carrying out work on tyres and rims, correct procedure must be used to preventthe equipment from rolling or moving, including: applying park brake, loweringimplements to the ground, and using wheel chocks.

4.4 TYRE AND RIM INSPECTIONS

Tyre and Rim inspections are conducted as follows:

Drivers are required to visually inspect tyres and rims as part of their daily prestartinspection and progressively throughout the shift/day.


6/7



The inspection must include at least the following:

Tyre Inspection Checklist:

Treads Treads shall be inspected for excessive embedded stakes,separation, cuts or chips, cracks in the tread groove oruneven wear. Tread depths shall be inspected andmeasured to ensure tread is within specifications and tyresare evenly matched.

Tyre tread depths across all heavy mobile equipment shallbe checked once per month.

Shoulder and Sidewall The bead seat band shall be visually inspected for cracks,

wear and corrosion in the areas in contact with the lockring, flange, rim base or any welded area of the rim.

Valve Deflection or damage to stem, any leakage from core.Valve cap is in position.

Dual Tyres Any objects stuck between the tyres. Stone ejector (wherefitted) is in position and not bent.

Inflation Pressures Inflation pressures are correct. No air leakage evident.

Rim/Wheel Inspection Checklist:

Studs, Nuts and Clamps All wheel / rim securing hardware shall be checked forsecurity, loose or missing studs, nuts or clamps.

Rim Assembly The rim assembly shall be inspected for distortion, crackingor wear.

Bead, Bead Seat andLocking Ring

The bead seat band shall be inspected for distortion,dislocation, cracks or wear.

Flanges The flanges shall be inspected for distortion, cracks or

wear.

Defect Reporting

If defects, hazards or sub-standard conditions are found during these inspections, or areotherwise reported, the driver will establish the seriousness / urgency of the defect orcondition and will take appropriate action. Appropriate action may include:


7/7



Notifying the operator(s) of the equipment and/or the relevant Supervisor, and either:

- Taking immediate remedial action - by repairing/rectifying the problem at thattime;

- Arranging deferred action planning to have corrective action taken at a laterdate/time;

- If a serious fault cannot be rectified, immediately stand the vehicle down andplace an Out of Service tag indicating fault/s.

4.5 TYRE LOAD AND TEMPERATURE

Tyre pressure must be checked periodically through the day because loading andambient temperature can affect inflation pressure.

DO NOT bleed tyres to correct build-up of air pressure from operation; NEVER stand in front of an earthmoving equipment tyre whilst inflating. Failure of the

tyre or the tyre securing hardware could have disastrous consequences. ALWAYSstand to one side (behind the tread) whilst inflating the tyre.

4.6 TYRE MATCHING AND ROTATION

Evenly matched tyres shall be used on dual assembly to prevent excessive tyre wearand overloading conditions;

Bias and radial construction must never be mixed on dual assemblies.

4.7 TYRE HANDLING AND STORAGE

Proper handling and storage is required to prevent damage to tubeless tyres.Unmounted tyres shall be shipped and stored vertically. Horizontal storage maycompress the beds, this will make initial inflation difficult;

Some new tyres are shipped banded to preserve their shape. DO NOT remove bandsuntil tyres are ready to mount;

When handling with a forklift or tyre handler, lift the tyre from its outer circumference,or from the bottom of the tyre. DO NOT insert the forks through the centre of the tyre.DO NOT lift tyres by beads. Sharp hooks or forks cut and tear beads, in service beadsmay leak at these lifting points;
