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 operators 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 .
