Importance of a Loading Dock Preventive Maintenance Plan
Safety organizations across Canada outline emphasize that all equipment should be inspected at least once a year to comply with government health and safety regulations.
“Establish a regular preventive maintenance program for loading dock equipment including dock levellers, restraints, doors, dock bumpers, lights, and communication systems.”
“The high level of activity at a loading dock area along with the presence of physical hazards can lead to serious worker injury, and sometimes result in a fatality. It is important to be proactive in identifying potential hazards in the loading dock area.”

We strongly believe what gets measured gets done more efficiently and quickly, which decreases our customers’ downtime and increases their productivity.
