Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14435168
Event: 11/18/1991
Employee killed after tire explodes

At approximately 12:00 noon on November 18, 1991, Employee #1 was servicing a Firestone 11225 tubeless tire and an Accuride 225 rim that had been removed from a 1989 Peterbilt 26,000 lb dump truck. After changing and apparently inflating the tire, Employee #1 found a small pin hole in the rim that caused a leak. Another worker advised him that the owner wanted him to use a wheel from another truck. Employee #1, according to a witness, ignored the advice and proceeded to get the welding cables and arc weld the rim on the single piece rim wheel. According to a witness, the tire had not been deflated because the core wrench used to deflate tires was in the employee's back pocket. After Employee #1 finished welding and had chipped off the flux, the tire exploded, sending him approximately 17 in. into a rafter. The wheel and rim struck the middle rafter of the garage. Employee #1 died.
