Wheel & Rim Safety Manual
See OSHA Standards for Servicing Multi-Piece and Single Piece Rim Wheels, 29 C.F.R. 1910.177,
Appendix A.
Barrier:
Fence, wall, or other structure or object placed between a single piece rim wheel and an
employee during tire inflation to contain the rim wheel components in the event of the sudden release of
the contained air of the single piece rim wheel.
Demounting a Tire:
The disassembly or taking apart of the wheel and tire components to form a rim
wheel, including deflation. The opposite of “mounting.”
Installation of a Rim Wheel:
The transfer and attachment of an assembled rim wheel onto a vehicle axle
hub. The opposite of “removal.”
Mounting a Tire:
The assembly or putting together of the wheel and tire components to form a rim wheel,
including inflation. The opposite of "demounting.”
Multi-Piece Rim Wheel:
The assemblage of a multi-piece wheel with the tire tube and other components.
Multi-Piece Wheel:
A vehicle wheel consisting of two or more parts, one of which is a side or locking ring
designed to hold the tire on the wheel by interlocking components when the tire is inflated.
Removal of a Rim Wheel:
The detachment of an assembled rim wheel from a vehicle axle hub. The
opposite of “installation.”
Restraining Device:
An apparatus such as a cage, rack, assemblage of bars, and other components that
will restrain all rim wheel components during an explosive separation of a multi-piece rim wheel or
during the sudden release of the contained air of a single piece rim wheel.
Rim Manual:
A publication containing instructions from the manufacturer or other qualified organization
for correct mounting, demounting, maintenance, and safety precautions peculiar to the type of wheel
being serviced.
Rim Wheel:
An assemblage of tire, tube and liner (if appropriate), and wheel components.
Service Area:
The area specifically used for the servicing of rim wheels or any other place where an
employee services rim wheels.
Servicing:
The mounting and demounting of rim wheels and related activities such as inflating, deflating,
installing, removing, and handling.
Single Piece Rim Wheel:
The assemblage of single piece rim wheel with the tire and other components.
Single Piece Wheel:
A vehicle wheel consisting of one part, designed to hold the tire on the wheel when
the tire is inflated.
Trajectory:
The potential path or route that a rim wheel component may travel during an explosive
separation or the sudden release of the pressurized air. In the case of a single piece rim wheel, the
trajectory is the area at which an airblast may be released. The trajectory may deviate from paths that are
perpendicular to the assembled position of the rim wheel at the time of separation or explosion.
Wheel:
The portion of a rim wheel that provides the method of attachment of the assembly to the axle of
a vehicle and also provides the means to contain the inflated portion of the assembly (tire and/or tube).
