The Science of Wheel Separations and Preventative
Maintenance Through Technology
Ted Dezsenyi, Regional Maintenance & Safety Manager,

We have all seen the headlines. “Flying Tire hits
vehicle”, but this can be misleading. In fact, this type of
“wheel separation” is rare, and usually indicative of a
maintenance issue. This session will discuss the history
and science of wheel separations, and also address a
multi-stakeholder issue: making Ontario roadways safer.
Learn more about what the future may hold through
advances in technology for Preventative Maintenance.

change, the potential implications and provide guidance
and messaging on how to manage it in the workplace.

if you have multiple committees, or committees that

places at the same time, so who is really running the
show? This session will help you to understand the daily
