Improve safety and productivity at loading docks with modern equipment
A large proportion of work accidents listed occur in areas where goods are received or dispatched, including loading docks. However, the consequences of these incidents can be very costly for companies, in particular because of compensation for victims, repair of any damaged equipment, damaged products, delay in execution and production stoppage. Fortunately, it is quite possible to avoid more than half of accidents by taking the appropriate measures. Find below modern equipment intended to optimize safety within a loading dock.

Limit the risk of falling into an empty loading dock
An empty or vacant loading bay exposes personnel and handling equipment such as forklifts to the risk of dangerous falls at a height of more than 1 meter. Companies are therefore required to install adequate guarding at these levels under OSHA 1910.23, "Guarding Openings and Holes in Walls." In addition, the ANSI, or American National Standards Institute, has established requirements relating to the safety of risk areas such as platforms, stairs, ramps or even runways in directive A1264.1-2007.

Discover our industrial safety barriers
Falling from a height is a serious accident that can cause serious injury, and even loss of life in the most advanced cases. If the traditional yellow lines help to warn passers-by of the dangers to which they are exposed, they remain insufficient, especially in construction sites, industrial areas or even loading docks. It is therefore necessary to opt for more visible and effective devices such as safety barriers for these places.
