The plan defines applicability, scope, and a priority policy for preventing occupational injuries and illnesses. It provides plan administration roles, personnel contact responsibilities, review/update triggers, and a job hazard analysis process, supported by examples of common dock hazards and safe work practices for dock loading and vehicle operations, including forklift rules.","Loading Dock Safety Plan\nTIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS\nApplicability. The sample Loading Dock Safety Plan template (Plan) applies to material loading docks at general industry workplaces. It focuses on shipping and receiving areas for trucks and trailers. It does not apply to railcar or maritime operations.\nThe plan focuses on the safety requirements for the following OSHA regulations:\nHandling materials, 29 CFR 1910.176\nPersonal protective equipment ,29 CFR 1910.132 to 29 CFR 1910.138\nPowered industrial trucks (e.g., forklifts), 29 CFR 1910.178\nSpecifications for accident prevention signs and tags, 29 CFR 1910.145\nWalking and working surfaces, general requirements, 29 CFR 1910.22\nBasic elements of the Plan. The Plan should include the following basic elements:\nJob hazard analysis\nHousekeeping\nForklifts\nManual lifting\nAisles and passageways\nSlips, trips, and falls\nTrailer floor loading protection\nUnloading and loading trucks and trailers\nHazardous materials\nPosters, signs, and markings\nSecurity\nDock levelers\nBay and doors\nWheel chocks and other vehicle restraints\nPedestrians\nPersonal protective equipment (PPE)\nEmployee training\nRecordkeeping\nTo assist in the prevention of accidents, employers must set safe work practices for employees involved in trailer-to-dock operations, and enforce those rules consistently. Employers must have some system to make sure that truck drivers do not pull away while powered industrial trucks are loading or unloading.\nReview and incorporate state regulatory requirements. This Plan is based on federal requirements and/or best practices. Some states have laws and regulations that are stricter than federal requirements and that may affect how you customize this Plan. See the Safety.BLR.com® website for the regulatory analysis in your state, under the topics Material Handling, Forklifts, and Housekeeping.
