Course Overview

Imagine working in a busy, high-stress area that has a sudden drop. Loading docks have bays where shipments arrive or depart. Trucks, vans, or trailers are constantly backing into various bays. Forklifts and workers are loading or unloading shipments.

What happens if a forklift misjudges the distance to the edge of an open bay? What happens if a trailer pulls away while the forklift is still unloading?

Between workers, forklifts, trailers, and drivers, there is a lot of room for error. For a loading dock to operate smoothly every person from the driver to the worker must be vigilant in complying with safety standards.

This course will cover the following loading dock safety practices:

Common hazards found on a loading dock
OSHA standards and requirements
Loading dock equipment and best practices
and Loading dock separation accidents

Due to the diverse traffic through loading docks, there are many hazards or risks for both pedestrians and forklift drivers.

Disclaimer: Loading docks are busy and have a high risk for injury from falls. There are many regulations regarding industrial powered trucks and barrier installation that should be referenced to ensure compliance. OSHA standard CFR 29.1910.176 is commonly cited. OSHA has jurisdiction over forklift operators and employees who perform loading and unloading operations. CFR 29.1910 also includes specific training requirements for forklift operators who load and unload trucks. This module does not, and is not intended to, replace the need for necessary safety barriers or as a source for all OSHA regulations and requirements.
