In conjunction with Tire Safety Week, Michelin North America and the Tire Industry Association have partnered on a free training video for the tire and transportation industries. "CSA Tire Inspection" covers the guidelines for inspecting truck tires under the new Compliance, Safety, Accountability program
administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
The video is available for free download or viewing at www.michelintruck.com under the Tool Box tab or at www.youtube.com/michelintruck. Previous Michelin/TIA videos (In Shop Safety, Wheel End Safety, Tubeless Radial Truck Tire Safety, and Commercial Road Service) are also available for free on the Michelin truck website.
"Michelin is strongly committed to the safety of the transportation industry," says Doug Jones, customer engineering support manager for Michelin. "This commitment is why we have partnered with TIA over the years to produce this series of safety related videos. We strongly encourage fleets, owner-operators and other industry personnel to utilize this and the other training videos to help promote safety in our industry."
