Feature Presentation:
Rite-Hite
Corporation’s presentation for our meeting today, covered Loading and
Unloading Dock Safety. Paul thanked both Rite Hite and Donna @ Great Lakes
Chemical for today’s meeting.
The loading dock is
considered a danger zone. It is a busy area, and the 4’ drop off is
considered a danger zone. There is limited communication, people are
located on the inside and out. Many truck drivers are in a hurry to drop
off or pick up their loads.
Twenty-five percent
of accidents happen at the loading dock. Rite Hite presented an over view
of what hazards are present on the loading docks and what preventative
measures can be taken in order to make the dock a safer place.
