Most people don’t think twice about tires, but in our world, they carry more than just the load. They carry potential hazards.
Some of our Eastern Region quarries recently participated in Tire Awareness Training, taking a closer look at how proper inspection, maintenance, and handling keep our teams safe.
Here’s what’s at stake:
• Tire failures can release explosive energy due to high air pressure
• Heat, overloading, and underinflation greatly increase blowout risk
• Small cuts, wear, or damage can escalate quickly if left unchecked
A big thank you to our community partner, Dave T from Service Tire, for sharing his expertise and bringing real-world insight to the conversation.
As construction partners, safety is part of everything we deliver.
