Loading Dock Procedure Safety Signs
1910.178(k)(1) is clear on loading dock procedures: The brakes of
highway trucks shall be set and wheel chocks placed under the rear wheels to prevent
the trucks from rolling while they are boarded with powered industrial trucks.
Avoid accidents and make sure both drivers and other loading dock personnel know
the proper procedures. We recommend a sign for each access point to the dock, as
well as at least one large sign in the general dock area.
