    A worker at the Riyadh Metro Project inflated a wheelbarrow tire using an airline from a dump truck's compressed air pump, which did not have a pressure gauge. This caused the tire to overinflate and deform the wheel rim. The bulletin emphasizes the importance of using the proper tool for each task to work safely. When inflating tires, foot or bicycle pumps should be used instead of unregulated compressed air lines. Compressed airlines must have pressure gauges and only be used on vehicle tires or plant equipment.

    Selecting the Right Tool for the Task


    A first-aid incident was reported regarding inflation of a wheel barrow tyre. The tyre was inflated
    using an airline attached to a compressed air pump of a dump truck without a pressure gauge.
    During investigation, the worker over inflated the tyre caused the wheel rim to deformed and
    dislodged the tyre.

    Selecting and using the “right tool for the task” is the main key to achieving a safe and quality work
    outcome. An appropriate tool such as a foot pump or bicycle pump must be used instead of
    compressed air without pressure gauge to control the risk of over inflation.

    Teams must ensure that compressed airlines must be fitted with a pressure gauge and only be used
    to inflate tyre on road vehicles or wheeled construction plant.

    Tools will be used only for their intended purpose.

    In pressurizing wheel tyre do not use compressor line without the proper safety gauges. Use the proper
    tool for the task.
