Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:10 p.m. on May 21, 2007, Employee #1, who had been working as the assistant manager for one week, was inflating a tire in order to seat it onto the rim. The rim and the tire were mounted on the tire mounting machine, a COATS, RIM CLAMP 5060AX. The tire inflation was not done by a clip-on chuck with a minimum 24-inch length hose to an in-line foot or hand valve and gauge or an equivalent means. Employee #1 tried to inflate the tire from an overhead airline that held 150 to 175 psi, but the tire would not seat on the rim. As he continued to fill the tire with air, it exploded, injuring him. He was hospitalized for treatment.
