Tyre Deflation Noise Reduction Leading Practice
The Tyre Deflation Noise Reduction Simple Leading Practice focuses on mitigating the noise exposure risk of employees performing tyre maintenance work on or around mobile equipment. This is achieved through the isolation of the noise source position and remotely releasing it further away from the employee’s potential exposure position or zone.
Making use of this simple leading practice can have substantial noise exposure reduction benefits. The noise emitted from deflating mobile equipment tyres could be reduced from approximately 114.0 dB(A) down to approximately 68.0 dB(A), through the application of simple and cost-effective systems that can be integrated into the routine tyre maintenance programme.
Additional benefits
- Reduction in mobile plant downtime due to faster deflation duration
- Reductions in occupational health exposures, including noise and airborne pollutants
- Reduction in eye injuries due to trajected particles, as well as a reduction in hand and associated injuries from the unexpected release of stored energy
