Here's some detail tidbits.
1.Dock lights.A red light tells the driver the trailer is locked on the dock lock-this lock fastens on the trailer's dock lock bar (aka ICC bar)..A green light tells the driver its ok to back into the dock or the trailer has been release from the lock.
2.Safety chain across open dock doors-this prevents a forklift driver from backing off the dock through a open door and keeps employees or truckers from falling off the dock-I was given a written first time warning for not fastening the chain.
3. You will need a ladder or steps to gain entrance to the dock area from the outside..I've notice the ladders have been replace with concrete steps with handrails and a door.
4.Inbound or outbound loads is not kept on the dock..
This is to prevent theft and accidents-there's no sound like a skid(pallet) crashing to the ground from the dock..The operator can expect one of three things.1) His time.2) Wrote up or 3) Some free time without pay.Where I use to work at the operator would be written up for "carelessness" or "failure to follow company procedure"-either one was a serious write up and was to be avoided like the plague.
