Dock Design
THE IMPORTANCE OF A SAFE LOADING DOCK!
Loading docks are dangerous environments and must be properly designed and managed.
Some common causes of loading dock accidents are:
- Inappropriate dock communication systems
- Inappropriate traffic management systems
- Premature truck departure
- Inappropriate training
- Trailer creep (also known as dock walk)
- Landing gear collapse and trailer tip.
