Workers loading and unloading materials should be instructed in safe procedures appropriate to the material they handle. Workers engaged in the loading or unloading of suspension-type highway trailers may be at an increased risk of injury due to the inability of damaged trailers to support the weight of the powered industrial truck used to load or unload the trailer. Many fatalities occur when a worker is crushed by a forklift that has overturned or fallen from a loading dock.
Our Loading Dock Online Safety Training provides a high-level overview of the typical hazards encountered on loading docks, transit vehicles, and the areas between the two. The goal of this training is to create awareness of these hazards and to provide knowledge to the learner on different types of hazards that employees can encounter while working on loading docks, as well as discuss the equipment and safe work practices that they should use to avoid them.
This will also help you and your employees recognize the health and safety hazards at risk, assess situations that may lead to an incident, control situations that will help minimize hazards, proper loading and unloading operations and implement administrative controls in the workplace. This will ensure the health and safety of all employees in this particular work environment.
