3-06/150.30 - Flat Tires

Roadside tire changing is generally the responsibility of the operator except for:

• Ambulances and vehicles in excess of one-ton capacity;
• Those employees whose safety may be compromised, including but not limited to, road/traffic hazards, weather conditions, location, time of day;
• Those employees who are physically incapable of changing a tire or whose health may be compromised; and
• Those employees whose medical work restrictions would be violated by changing the tire.

Operators should check their vehicles to ensure that spare tires and tools are intact and serviceable.  Replacement tires can be obtained by contacting the Fleet Management Unit.
