Bald Tire Toolbox Topic

The Bald Tire toolbox topic uses the analogy of a worn-out tire to highlight how fatigue and burnout can lead to mistakes and injuries. Just like a bald tire has less grip and is more likely to fail, a “worn-out” attitude reduces focus, slows reaction times, and makes even simple tasks feel harder—and riskier. This topic reminds workers of the importance of rest, recognizing signs of exhaustion, and speaking up when fatigue could put themselves or others in danger.
