Incident on Jul 30, 2021: Employee fractures leg when struck by tire while inflating t
At approximately 12:15 p.m. on July 30, 2021, an employee mounted a tire on a single-piece rim. The employee was attempting to seat the bead of the tire on the rim by inflating the tire, inside a tire cage. The employee removed the hands-free air chuck and checked the air pressure in the tire. The employee was standing outside of the trajectory, by the corner of the tire cage. As the employee was stepping back to grab the air chuck, the bead failed. The wheel blew out of the side of the cage striking the employee in the legs and fracturing the right tibia and a ruptured tendon in the left leg. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.

Current text from the Code of Federal Regulations. Some citations were issued under older wording.
(2) Within twenty-four (24) hours after the in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees or an employee's amputation or an employee's loss of an eye, as a result of a work-related incident, you must report the in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye to OSHA.
(3) How do I record a work-related injury or illness that results in days away from work? When an injury or illness involves one or more days away from work, you must record the injury or illness on the OSHA 300 Log with a check mark in the space for cases involving days away and an entry of the number of calendar days away from work in the number of days column. If the employee is out for an extended period of time, you must enter an estimate of the days that the employee will be away, and update the day count when the actual number of days is known.
