Navigating the bustling world of loading docks requires crucial safety measures that are often overlooked but are vital to the well-being of your crew.
But what exactly do these precautions look like? 👀
Well, they should include:
✔️ Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as high-visibility vests, steel-toed boots, and hard hats and gloves.
✔️ Training and awareness, which means proper machinery operation, an extra set of spotter's eyes, and knowing the emergency procedures should an accident occur.
✔️ Fortifications of dock equipment that doesn't leave room for gaps in dock plates, utilizes wheel chocks and dock locks, and establishes boundaries with guardrails
🤔 Think about these points the next time you're on the dock.
