Loading bay doors and docks are areas with particularly high accident risk. This is due to the fact that, when driving out of a trailer, a forklift operator has a limited field of vision and may not notice a pedestrian entering the loading zone. In addition, when dock doors are open, there is a risk of forklifts falling off the dock.
Nearly every accident can be avoided with the right safety barriers, tailored to the areas around loading docks and entry gates.
Installing barriers along the docks prevents pedestrians from moving directly next to the ramps, while forklift operators benefit from an extended exit path from the trailer, improving visibility and minimizing the risk of hitting a pedestrian.
At one of our client’s facilities, several loading docks had to be shut down for costly repairs caused during the unloading of goods. This led to slower operations, delivery delays, and financial losses. In addition, several dangerous situations occurred in the area when a forklift operator nearly struck a pedestrian worker by accident.
To improve safety and minimize losses, the client decided to install a double lift-up dock barrier. The zone was further secured with protective bollards. Since then, the number and severity of damages have been reduced to a minimum, and employees can now work in safe conditions.
Along the dock, barriers were installed on both sides to prevent pedestrians from crossing directly in front of the doors. Forklift operators are also able to move safely, without the risk of pedestrians unexpectedly entering their path.
