A stationary engineer working at an airport died when the tire and wheel he was disassembling
exploded. The tire and wheel had been removed from an airport passenger boarding bridge and
placed in the airport maintenance shop by the employees on the previous shift. The victim and
a co-worker were removing the nuts and bolts that held the wheel together when the tire and
wheel assembly exploded, striking the victim in the head and neck. The valve stem was not
removed from the tube within the tire to release the air pressure. The CA/FACE investigator
determined that, in order to prevent similar future incidents. |
