Remember R.I.M.
Three Simple Steps To Help Keep Shops Safe
R.I.M. is a training program developed by Hennessy
Industries to help keep tire technicians safe. By fol-
lowing the basic principles of R.I.M., technicians can
avoid situations that can cause catastrophic accidents
like tire explosions.
R.I.M.
stands for read, inspect, and mount:
Read
the tire size on a new tire before mounting to
make sure it is the proper size for the wheel.
Inspect
the wheel for cracks, rust, and or other dam-
age that could cause an unsafe situation.
Mount
the tire safely, making sure not to put any
part of your body over the tire during inflation.
The most serious of possible accidents is a tire
explosion. This is often caused by a tire/rim mismatch.
If a tire explodes on a tire changer, pressure causes it
to fly straight up at tremendous speed. If a technician
is standing over the tire, he can be seriously injured
or killed.
Hennessy’s R.I.M. program allows the technician
to avoid situations that can cause tire explosions and
other accidents. The full program, including training
videos, brochures, posters, and other materials, is
available from Coats distributors nationwide.
