Operator Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment helps make tire
changing safer. However, equipment does not
take the place of safe operating practices.
Always wear durable work clothing during tire
service activity. Shop aprons or shop coats may
also be worn, however loose fitting clothing
should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves
are recommended to protect operator’s hands
when handling worn tires and wheels. Sturdy
leather work shoes with steel toes and oil
resistant soles should be used by tire service
personnel to help prevent injury in typical shop
activities. Eye protection is essential during tire
service activity. Safety glasses with side shields,
goggles, or face shields are acceptable. Back
belts provide support during lifting activities
and are also helpful in providing operator
protection. Consideration should also be given
to the use of hearing protection if tire service
activity is performed in an enclosed area, or if
noise levels are high.
