Loading Dock Requirements in Houston, Texas
The process of storing of commodities requires a system that will facilitate the easy access and fastest approach to store and distribute these goods and even the heavy equipment subject for loading and storage. This system is basically called the loading dock system. It is a set of interconnecting mechanisms, which chiefly facilitates the easy and faster stockpiling and dispersal of the goods. The loading docks together with the loading dock levelers are usually installed in the warehouses, manufacturing and distribution plants. The loading docks are deemed part of the facility’s infrastructure engineered to provide an easy access to the storage areas. With the massive influx of deliveries and transfer of commodities, these facilities opted to install the loading dock system within their specific industries. Since loading dock caters the massive influx of deliveries, distribution of products and equipment, it is deemed a highly dangerous area within the warehouse, manufacturing and distribution facilities. Relative to this, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States Department of Labor crafted a pertinent requirement to regulate and ensure the safety measures in the docks in Houston, Texas. This requirement is geared towards the maintenance of a safe zone within the loading dock as an important step to prevent injuries and fatalities. Accordingly, per the provision of OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.23(b) that relates to the protection for wall openings and holes, that states “every wall opening from which there is a drop of more than 4 feet shall be guarded by an actual fall protection barrier”. This provision has been implemented to prevent any related fall injuries that include the inadvertent drop of goods and even the accidental fall of forklift during its backing off maneuver at the open dock. This occasion may result in severe injuries to the workers and even death. To address the issue, OSHA directed that the aforementioned standard that conveys the installation of the guardrails and dock impact barriers, especially if the dock doors are often left open for ventilation, be complied. Moreover, to increase the degree of protection and safety measures, the OSHA recommended that visual barrier should likewise be installed to make sure that untoward eventualities such as accidents will be prevented. However, the issuance of the OSHA interpretation (55 FR 13407; April 10, 1990) that declares, “Employers would not be required to install guardrail systems on the working side of platforms, such as loading docks, where the employer can demonstrate that the presence of guardrails would prevent the performance of work”, averted the complete observance of safety regulations as it provided a margin for the occurrence of mishaps. Meaning, such interpretation somehow recounts to the issue of suppression against the expected protection just to promote and maximize business productivity and work efficiency. In essence, such interpretation will not guarantee complete work safety anymore of the workforce. To this end, it would be wise to install the guardrails as a standard operating procedure (SOP) every time the dock’s height equals to 4 feet and higher to ensure the proper compliance of the requirement. To further the safety measures, OSHA further recommended that visual barriers should also be integrated per the international safety policy. To this effect, dock impact barriers are advised to be painted with a bright yellow color to convey a warning signal. Nonetheless, OSHA perceived that the overestimate installation of precautionary measures would similarly result to hamper the efficiency of work and serviceable productivity. Concluding, the installation of removable dock impact barriers has been highly recommended to promote a lenient and flexible approach to encourage and sponsor work proficiency. Southern Dock Products, Houston, Texas has not only comprehended this requirement but it already mastered the intention and spirit of the requirement by heart and mind. It is a division of DuraServ Corp. that offers the right dock products and staff to keep your dock safe and efficient.

Guidelines for Safety in the Loading Dock Area
Loading dock area in Austin, Texas is very likely to be the most hazardous part of your operation when you consider the combinations of hazards and the volume of activities that occur in this area. Some of the hazards that are present in a loading dock area in Austin, Texas are: ramps and inclines overhead obstructions dissimilar surfaces often wet and slippery poor lighting in trailers other vehicular traffic pedestrian traffic restricted views sheer drops trailer creep congested staging areas accumulations of empty containers pallets debris In addition, those employees that do not operate lift trucks are rarely trained on loading dock safety in Autin, Texas issues even though they share many of the same risks as the lift truck operators. The biggest reason to put a priority on loading dock design in loading that is safe of accidents in loading dock areas as it is to the potential severity of injuries that can occur in these types of accidents. Injuries sustained when lift trucks tip over or fall from loading docks in Austin, Texas, or those that occur when pedestrians are impacted by a lift truck, falling load, or tractor-trailer, tend to be very serious and sometimes fatal. Prevention of these types of accidents can be achieved through proper equipment, proper training, and enforcement of safe operating procedures. So here are the guidelines for the safety in the loading area: 1. Loading area position Loading and unloading areas should be in safe and suitable places so that drivers can maneuver vehicles easily, or near sheeting areas. Provide at least two exit points, one at each end. Consider a refuge or bolthole, to prevent people from being struck by vehicles. Raise the platform for vehicles to park against that allows site staff to move straight into the load body. 2. Space around loading bays Provide enough space around loading bays for vehicles to move safely into and out of the loading bay For people to move around the vehicle without being trapped. 3. Height differences It is better to have a loading bay platform slightly lower than the vehicle platform, rather than one that is slightly higher. The edges of loading bays need to be marked clearly. Dock levelers should not be extended to a steep slope either downwards or upwards, because this can mean that anything crossing the surface is difficult to control. Note: It's also important to note the importance of the dock leveler in loading dock safety. Dock levelers provide a bridge to the trailer as well as a ramp to facilitate the transition in height from the ing dock to the trailer. Dock levelers are rated by weight capacity and by the service range. The service range is also known as the height differential rates the safe range above and below loading dock level you can use the leveler to transition to the trailer height. 4. Visibility Visibility during reversing is always important, and especially where pedestrians may have no escape route from a vehicle approaching them. In particular, where: articulated vehicles have to reverse steer into an area, visibility to the back of the vehicle is often blocked by parts of the trailer. A system of work telling the driver whether it is safe to reverse may be appropriate. 5. Preventing falls Where there is a danger of people falling off platforms or loading bays in loading areas, you may need to fence the platforms or loading bays. Ways to do this include: Secure guardrails (designed so that goods can be passed safely over or under them); Removable sections of railing may (if properly supervised). Safety barriers should be in place any time the overhead door is open and the fall hazard is exposed. With fall prevention means in a place like a visual barrier, access to the fall hazard is restricted and workers are properly alerted to the hazard. 5. Dock seals and shelters Dock seal and shelters in Austin, Texas can help to control loading and unloading conditions. a vehicle reverses directly up to an opening in the side of the building, weather seal is created around the opened end of the vehicle 6. Additional Equipment Other dock equipment includes stand-alone barriers and safety barriers built into dock levelers to prevent driving off the edge of the dock when the loading dock is empty, fixed and variable height ramps to raise trailers to a level closer to that of the loading dock, and a variety of loading dock doors and dock seals. It's very important to use the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of dock equipment as operating procedures will vary based upon the type of equipment used. Some hydraulic dock levelers(scissor lifts) may allow you to leave the leveler engaged as the trailer departs while most mechanical dock levelers should be fully disengaged and returned the stored position prior to trailers departing. 7. Proper Maintenance Have all equipment maintained in accordance with manufacture's recommendations. This includes lift trucks, dock levelers, truck restraints, commercial doors, and loading dock seals and shelter. The following are additional recommendations that can improve safety in your Loading dock operation in Austin, Texas. Some of these are equipment related while most are simply procedural. Creating a safe loading dock environment is our greatest concern at Southern Dock Products, a division of DuraServ. One of the most important considerations in designing and building an efficient and productive loading dock is employee safety. It is always at the top of our priority list and we carry a wide range of safety products, including the latest innovations and automated technology, to minimize risk and create a safe working environment.
