Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a maintenance worker for an oil field service company, was repairing a split rim tire in the maintenance shop when the tire exploded and struck him in the head. He died. The employee was not trained for this job and had no serviceable safety equipment. Tire service at the company had been re-assigned to other facilities, according to interviews. Training documentation verified that the employee was told to send tires needing repair elsewhere for service and that repairs were not authorized for that shop. No evidence of alcohol or drug abuse was found.
