WARNING
Operator Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire
changing safer. However, equipment does not take
the place of safe operating practices. Always wear
durable work clothing during tire service activity.
Shop aprons or shop coats may also be worn,
however loose fitting clothing should be avoided.
Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended to
protect operator’s hands when handling worn tires
and wheels. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel
toes and oil resistant soles should be used by tire
service personnel to help prevent injury in typical
shop activities. Eye protection is essential during
tire service activity. Safety glasses with side
shields, goggles, or face shields are acceptable.
Back belts provide support during lifting activities
and are also helpful in providing operator
protection. Consideration should also be given to
the use of hearing protection if tire service activity
is performed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels
are high.
