Rim Wheel Servicing — Regulatory crosswalk
Rim Wheel Servicing · v1.0.0 · October 22, 2026
Course developed by Todd Jerome Jenkins, MS, CSP.
OSHA 1910.177 scope, training, demonstrated ability, equipment, component acceptability and single-piece/multi-piece procedures. Federal construction 1926.600(a)(2) is separately identified. Actual wheel-specific instruction and employer evaluation remain separate.
