Concrete worker killed by exploding tyre

A concrete supplier has been fined after an agency worker suffered fatal injuries following a tyre explosion.
Dudley Magistrates’ Court heard how the contractor suffered fatal injuries when using an air hose/compressed air to inflate the tyre of an articulated wheel loader.
An HSE investigation into the incident, on 28 March 2019, found that the company failed to have in place a safe system of work for inflation of the multi-piece split rim assembly wheels on the articulated wheel loader.T
