Product Overview
Summary: This Lockout Tagout for Tyre Equipment Safe Operating Procedure provides a clear, step-by-step method for isolating and securing tyre-related machinery before inspection, maintenance or repair. It helps Australian businesses control hazardous energies, prevent unexpected equipment movement, and protect workers from serious crush, entanglement and explosive separation injuries.
Tyre equipment – including truck and earthmoving tyre changers, bead breakers, inflation cages and lifting devices – involves significant stored energy and high-pressure systems. Without a robust lockout tagout (LOTO) process, workers can be exposed to unexpected movement, sudden release of compressed air, or catastrophic tyre or rim failure. This Safe Operating Procedure sets out a practical, easy-to-follow isolation system tailored specifically to tyre-related equipment used in workshops, depots, mine sites, quarries and field service environments across Australia.
The procedure guides your team through planning the task, identifying all energy sources (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical and gravitational), applying locks and tags, verifying isolation, and safely returning equipment to service. It helps businesses demonstrate due diligence under Australian WHS legislation, supports safe maintenance and tyre change activities, and reduces the risk of life‑altering incidents. By standardising the lockout tagout process for tyre equipment, organisations can improve training, lift safety culture, and ensure consistent, defensible practices across all sites and shifts.
Key Benefits
- Reduce the risk of serious crush, entanglement and explosive separation injuries during tyre-related work.
- Ensure tyre equipment isolation practices align with Australian WHS legislation and recognised lockout tagout principles.
- Standardise tyre equipment maintenance and repair workflows across workshops, depots and field service operations.
- Improve worker competence and confidence through clear, visual and repeatable isolation steps.
- Minimise unplanned downtime, equipment damage and regulatory scrutiny arising from uncontrolled energy incidents.
