The inspector should not cite to the manufacturer ? s specs as reason for the citation ? The citation should rely on facts as seen by the inspector The o ? road tire out of service criteria in the presentation cannot be referred to in any citation and any enforcement actions cannot be initiated by inspectors regarding tire safety based solely on this presentation ? This material should be used for training purposes only It is not a compliance guide but rather a collection of good practices from MSHA NIOSH and private sector sources CRunning Tires to Destruction is Not Recommended ? Its not a safe practice ?? Potential for loss of control of the vehicle ?? Potential for debris to injure personnel if tire ruptures ? Tires with a damaged structural component are can create a safety hazard CIdentifying the Structural Components of a Tire ?
