Tire Inflation Checklist


   

 

Tire Inflation
Where tires are mounted and/or inflated on drop center wheels or on wheels with split rims and/or retainer rings, is a safe practice procedure posted and enforced?  
Does each tire inflation hose have a clip-on chuck with at least 2.54 inches (6.45 centimeters) of hose between the chuck and an in-line hand valve and gauge?  
Does the tire inflation control valve automatically shut off the air flow when the valve is released?  
Is a tire restraining device such as a cage, rack, or other effective means used while inflating tires mounted on split rims or rims using retainer rings?  
Are employees prohibited from standing directly over or in front of a tire while it is being inflated?  
Are there other issues?
