Fleet
Tire Service OSHA Compliance Training
TIA’s Fleet Tire Service OSHA Compliance Training Program
is designed to help you comply with OSHA standards for employee
training. According to OSHA, any individual that handles inflated
truck tires must receive safety training and demonstrate their
ability to perform the necessary tasks. This means that even
the employees who remove and install the tire wheel assemblies
on and off the vehicle handle truck tires and must be trained.
This program educates these employees in the correct procedures
for handling inflated commercial truck tires and provides
your company with the documented proof of training required
by OSHA.
Commercial Tire Service (CTS) Technician Certification
The TIA CTS Training & Certification Program is designed
to educate individuals who actually service truck tires once
they are removed from the vehicle. This program is also OSHA
compliant, but goes above and beyond that with more in-depth
training and better liability protection for the employer.
This program is based on the TIA CTS Manual, a 250-page in-depth
resource developed by TIA’s expert staff with input from
industry professionals. The Manual contains step-by-step procedures
for every aspect of servicing medium truck tires and wheels,
as well as safety guidelines, OSHA regulations and other important
information.
Each Technician that successfully passes the exam will receive
a TIA Certified Technician certificate, 13 Certified Technician
uniform emblems and a two-year subscription to TIA’s
Commercial Tire Service Today publication.
Commercial Tire Service Today is another important facet of
TIA’s complete program for this rapidly growing market
segment. The publication is the primary vehicle for providing
a continuous source of information for personnel in the tire
service sector. Each monthly issue addresses technical and
safety concerns for commercial tire technicians, and various
pieces of equipment are featured throughout the year to introduce
technicians to the tools that are available through industry
vendors.
CTS Certification is valid for two years, at which time each
certified technician is eligible for recertification. To recertify,
each technician must successfully complete a 60-question exam,
which is available via the Internet. This convenient method
of testing allows technicians to take this exam anytime, anywhere
during the three-week window of opportunity. Technicians are
not required to attend another class, only to pass the exam.
Off-the-Road (OTR) Tire Service Training
TIA’s OTR Tire Service Training covers eight tire mounting
and demounting procedures on seven of the most common pieces
of OTR equipment using bias and radial tires. With video technology,
the program teaches vertical and horizontal mount and demount
procedures for single-, three- and five-piece wheel and rim
assemblies, and it includes a review of wheel and tire terminology.
By focusing on specific tire sizes and pieces of OTR equipment,
TIA can provide valuable instruction on the most commonly
used loaders, graders and articulating haul trucks. The tires
and equipment in the classroom training include: 17.5-25s
on a 142G grader; 37.25R35s on a 631E scraper; 35/65R33s on
a 988 front end loader; 23.5R25s on an articulated haul truck;
40.00R57 rear duals on an 830E haul truck; and a 40.00R57
front tire on a 793 haul truck. The 140-page Program Book
accompanies the video and becomes a valuable reference following
the training.
Hands-On Demonstrations
TIA’s Hands-On Demonstrations can be scheduled in addition
to the classroom training outlined previously. The hands-on
portion can be designed specifically to meet your company’s
needs. The instructor will demonstrate any or all service
procedures on any size tire using all types of equipment.
As long as your company provides the equipment and tires,
TIA can show your technicians how to service them properly.
You can request specific types of hands-on demonstrations
on the Custom Fleet Tire Training Information Request Form.
