Dock Doors

Vehicle and forklift safety guidelines are strictly adhered and followed at all times, especially when one is being operated on a dock.

Regular inspection and supervision are done to ensure items are stored correctly so that it doesn’t fall and injure anyone inside a warehouse. Positioning items evenly and placing heavier loads in lower distances are some rules or guidelines that can prevent falls from occurring.
