Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14393680

Event: 09/11/1987

Employee killed when struck by split rim wheel

Employee #1 was servicing a split rim wheel. He removed the old tire, installed a new 900-20 tire on the rim, and inflated it to 80 psi using a tire cage. When he went to place the wheel on the dump truck axle, the locking ring was apparently not adequately secured in the grooves on the rim. The wheel blew apart, striking Employee #1 in the face and head. He was killed.
