Thread: A safety message, about your tyres.

A reasonably well known occurrence in the mining industry Bob, with dump trucks, cranes etc coming into contact with overhead power lines. Has become less common in recent years as more have become aware of the dangers, and more care is taken NOT to place overhead powerlines above where any such equipment might possibly make contact (more common to place power lines below ground at road crossings etc these days).

A good video though, and one that I will pass on to some people who I believe will get some good value out of it. Thanks for posting.

This happened in Perth a few years ago, a guy welded a crack in a tubeless wheel, walked away and sat down for lunch, the tire blew and the wheel and tire went through the roof

And this is one reason why OH&S is so big

The problem being we get people that know a lot about a little and a little about a lot
What ever happened to commonsense
