The Health & Safety Executive have issued a number of reports on safe operation around tyres. A recent example is guidance on the Collection and Delivery of Tyres. This guide is limited to dealing with the risk of musculoskeletal disorders arising from the manual handling of vehicle tyres during collection and delivery. The HSE has also produced information drawing attention to the risk of serious or fatal injury if hot work is done on vehicle wheels to which tyres are still fitted.
For more information about health and safety ring the HSE's Infoline 08701 545500 or log onto the HSE website: www.hse.gov.uk Other sources of information for tyres and tyre safety see: • Tyre Industry Council www.tyresafety.co.uk 0207 734 6363 • Continental Tyres www.conti-online.co.uk 0906 302 3839* • National Tyre Distributors Association www.ntda.co.uk 0800 9000 600 • Vehicle Operator Services Authority www.vosa.gov.uk
